Last week the Ackley City Council was informed that a couple of city officials had met with Hardin County Sheriff Dave McDaniel, in regards to the police cruiser and the police department in general.
Concerning the Ackley Police Department, the city officials inquired about Hardin County hiring another deputy sheriff to cover the Ackley area and Ackley paying for said deputy.
McDaniel told the city officials that his department is currently down one deputy and they are having retention problems like many other departments.
So, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department would be unable to fulfill the request from the city.
