Letter from the Sheriff
I want to take this opportunity, to present to the citizens of Presque Isle County, an overview of all activities performed by the Sheriff’s Office for the year of 2010. The Board of Commissioners, the public, and my administration, will be able to use this report, to analyze data and make decisions to better the services of the Sheriff’s Office.
The fine men and women of the Presque Isle County Sheriff’s Office provide the citizens of the county with many Law Enforcement Services, they do this with pride and integrity for the Office, and with respect for one another.
We are living in very challenging times, and as we move forward, the Sheriff’s Office will continue to meet these challenges with the use of new technology and a tenacious, dedicated staff. Presque Isle County’s future is unclear, with the possibility of the Wolverine Power Plant coming into the area, and the numbers of people and traffic that project would bring to the area, we must continue to plan and prepare, with a watchful eye.
I would like to thank you for allowing me to serve as your Sheriff, the Presque Isle County Sheriff. I recognize that it is only with the trust and support of the citizens of this county, and the staff with whom I serve, that I am able to wear the badge of Sheriff.
I hope that the information in the annual report, will give you a better idea of what the Sheriff’s Office is responsible for, and how we go about providing these services to our citizens.
Respectfully,
Robert W. Paschke
Presque Isle County Sheriff
