Sheriffs have traditionally been the only law enforcement officers in unincorporated areas of a given county. By taking powers of arrest away from them, those duties now have to be transferred to another state or municipal agency, most of which are cash strapped and have difficulties maintaining full manpower. Now, in Delaware at least, those other agencies will have to pick up the investigative and prosecutorial slack for those Sheriff's departments. This ruling makes the Sheriff's Department nothing more than a rent-a-cop agency that has the additional duties of being baby-sitters for the jails. It is a very bad idea, but seems to be in line with the current thought processes of today's Liberals. As with most of their brilliant ideas, it will blow up in their faces.
