(KLZA)-- Pawnee County Sheriff Braden Lang met with the Pawnee City Council during their November 8 meeting.
Sheriff Lang reported he has interviewed a candidate for a Deputy position but noted that until he has undergone all the training required by the state, the person cannot work as a deputy sheriff or even do ride-a-longs.
The Council suggested writing into a contract that a new deputy would agree to work for Pawnee County for two years or pay back the costs for their training.
Sheriff Lang said it is written in the Deputy Contract, but it is his understanding it would cost more in legal fees to recapture the training costs than could be recovered.
