Chittenden Sheriff (D) seeks re-election
SOUTH BURLINGTON — Chittenden County Sheriff Dan Gamelin said this week that he will seek re-election to another four-year term in the fall.
Gamelin heads one of the busiest and diverse law enforcement agencies in the state by transporting prisoners, serving court papers, conducting rural patrols, providing security at court and other sites and operating a new Street Crimes Unit that is trying to make a dent in the overwhelming growth in thefts from retail outlets in Chittenden County — the state’s economic engine.
And, Gamelin proudly points that all the work is done without the ability to levy any taxes on county residents for law enforcement. The department work is done through contracts and grants, the sheriff said.
Gamelin said he is willing to expand department services in the coming years to meet the growing needs of the county, but it may depend on finding additional deputies to fill shifts. Police agencies across Vermont are finding it hard to make hires.
