Reply to comment by artful_todger_502 in Franklin County elects a sheriff who is facing a criminal charge by relativevelocity

The WA CO Sheriff is the only LEO that I've ever seen in Warren/Waitsfield. They set speed traps for leaf peepers, skiers and locals. I think they may also ticket people who park in the traveled lane on VT100 at Warren Falls. Both of these are useful functions. They're probably not needed where there are municipal LEOs.

That’s because they are the only LEOs in those towns.

They don't even set up in dangerous locations just easy ones to generate revenue. I have never seen a sheriff doing anything but revenue generation. The state police respond to any calls.
