Who has jurisdiction over the Sheriff?

The Committee has done extensive research to try and determine who has oversight or supervisory authority of the Sheriff. It appears that the Sheriff is the highest authority in the land and NO ONE has authority over him. This is very clear in the attached letters from the Governor, Attorney General, Montana Supreme Court and Division of Criminal Investigations.

These letters inform us that because a crime occurs under the jurisdiction of the local law enforcement agency, nothing can be done. So if the local law enforcement people are incompetent, lazy or vindictive, then so be it. The victims of these crimes have NO RIGHTS because Governor and every other agency in the state have no authority to protect them. Every state agency we have contacted has referred us to another one.

Is no one accountable? What’s wrong with this picture? Is Montana really being run as a Feudalistic state? County Fiefdom’s controlled by an incompetent Sheriffs?

The ONLY recourse is through the actions of the registered voters to RECALL the Sheriff from office.
