January 21, 2021 By Mike Kruzman / news@whmi.com Livingston County Sheriffâs deputies may soon be assigned their own vehicle which is projected to help reduce costs while increasing visibility. Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy was before the county Public Safety and Infrastructure and Development Committee, Tuesday, to present the Deputy Assigned Vehicle Program. The program would assign each deputy their own vehicle, whereas currently 2 deputies are partnered up to each patrol car. Murphy believes this will increase the longevity of each vehicle while also decreasing maintenance costs, as people tend to care of their own stuff a little better. He projected getting up to 6 years out of patrols cars this way, as opposed to the 3 they average now.
