Community FORCE
Community Meetings
Sheriff Daryl Wheeler’s schedule is increasingly filling with community meetings. Since taking office in 2009 the Sheriff’s invitation to join the Community Force has encouraged citizens to provide practical tips to reduce crime in Bonner County. Sheriff Wheeler and his deputies receive input from citizens daily as they travel throughout Bonner County, and Sheriff Wheeler has an open-door policy for his employees as well. Sheriff Wheeler has found that Bonner County residents value community meetings. Their welcomed input provides a sense of ownership. In addition, Sheriff Wheeler says that “These Community Force meetings provide us with invaluable input and directly influence our policies and procedures at the Sheriff’s Office.”
To schedule the Sheriff or a deputy to speak to a group or to assist in emergency and safety planning, call (208) 263-8417, Extension 3049.
