Broome County Sheriff Fred Akshar stopped by the Binghamton rotary club on Tuesday afternoon to share his plan for his new administration moving forward.

The Sheriff shared what he calls his Community "F.I.R.S.T" plan, which entails bolstering the staffing at the County jail, as well as helping strengthen the connection between the department and the community, to help continue to solve crimes like that of the hit and run which took place on the firs day of the sheriffs new administration.

"Obviously the most pressing issue that I think we're dealing with today, as I speak to you is the staffing crisis  that we're experiencing in the Corrections Division." stated Akshar. "We are making significant in-roads to address that so I'm excited to talk about that -- the direction that we're heading, and kind of lay out a time frame in which we think we'll start to right the ship there."

Akshar added that "It's really important that we as an organization, we as an agency continue to engage on a regular basis, with the community to ensure that we're serving the community the best that we possibly can."

Askhar mentioned that the department plans on creating an app to put updates out to the public, but more information will come on that in the next month.
