The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says for the first time in more than a decade, it will have 24-hour patrol coverage starting this year.  Sheriff Summer Scheyer says she worked with the Skamania County Sheriff’s Guild contract negotiators to create a new schedule for deputies, allow for 24-hour coverage and safer working conditions for patrol through strategic staffing.  Scheyer says getting back to 24-hour patrol staffing has been a priority.  She says the new schedule will reduce overtime for callouts during times when deputies were not staffed, provide quicker response times, and create a greater deterrent for crimes during the window where deputies were not present.
