DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AOC AND JO CO PSS?
 
There are differences between the AOC list of public safety components and the JO CO range of components identified in levies/sales tax for increased funding: 2012 - 2015.  The public safety components of the AOC and JO CO lists are in fact the same. It appears the only difference in public safety components being what the local government and two safety groups felt needed additional funding.  How do the following State and JO CO shared public safety service fit into the components of the JO CO Public Safety Services?
 
• Trial Courts (State and JO CO provided)
• County Jail 911/Emergency Communications (Sheriff’s Office)
• Emergency Management (Sheriff’s Office)
• Homeland Security (part of Sheriff’s Office?)
• Court Security (Sheriff’s Office)
• Marine Patrol (State and JO CO provided)
• Search and Rescue (Sheriff’s Office)
• Drug Courts (State and JO CO provided)
• County Law Library (State and JO CO provided)
• Community Corrections (State and JO CO provided)
