ETNA GREEN - Dissatisfied with what she terms a "rent-a-cop" agreement, an Etna Green resident wants the town to establish its own police department. Kim Garey said at Tuesday's Etna Green Town Council meeting that she's concerned about the police protection in town, especially since she has been the victim of thefts and vandalism and knows that other thefts are occurring in town. Etna Green does not have a town marshal and contracts with the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department for police protection.Deputies from the KCSD sign up to work their off-duty hours patrolling Etna Green and are compensated at an hourly rate by the town.
