Tim Visosky. 'The recommendation we presented is focused on improving response times, increasing patrol coverage, and ultimately making Apple Valley safer,' Capt. Visosky said.

The proposed additions include one sergeant and eight deputies, whose roles include: Two Multiple Enforcement Team deputies focused on quality-of-life issues such as illegal marijuana grows and homeless encampments. One DUI enforcement deputy. One acting detective to support training and promotional opportunities. Four additional patrol deputies. One sheriff's service specialist. After reviewing the proposal, the committee voted to endorse the staffing recommendation and will forward its recommendation to the Town Council for consideration.
