Sheffield is seeing more sheriff patrols this year, according to Caledonia County Sheriff Brandon Thrailkill. Speaking to the Select Board, Thrailkill said patrol coverage in town has more than doubled compared to last year, part of a broader recovery from staffing shortages that have plagued the department.
The sheriff did not provide exact numbers or a timeline for when coverage might stabilize, but town police welcomed the increase. The discussion suggests Sheffield may be interested in additional law enforcement coverage beyond current levels.
Thrailkill said the department has been working to rebuild its ranks after years of difficulty retaining deputies. The improved coverage in Sheffield is one sign of that progress.
