That's not egnough for a professional force. And who would want to work there . Why don't they use county sheriffs more in new hamp like othe states in the country and get a more professional group

Most areas in the country that rely on county sheriffs rely on them because there are no incorporated towns. Those folks live in the "county". When you like individual towns as NH love where the avg. population per town is about 3,000 it is costly to maintain all of the services each town wants. They need little but want a lot.
