Bennett gives annual report; Office had 15,000 calls in ‘22

To say Pierce County’s sheriff’s deputies were busy in 2022 would be an understatement.

Sheriff’s deputies drove a distance the equivalent of a trip to and from the moon and half-way there again, while answering almost 15,000 calls, keeping the county’s residents safe, battling the illegal drug trade and still finding time to do public service like assisting motorists and unlocking vehicles.

“I am not here to ask for more money or more staff,” Sheriff Ramsey Bennett said as he began his presentation. “I just want to give you some idea of what all we do with the staff and the financial resources we have.”
