The Hall County Sheriff’s Office has been tightening its belt coming into the summer’s Hall County government budget process. The county’s largest department — and arguably one of its most important — has trimmed about $1.2 million for the proposed budget presented to the public on Tuesday night. Those cuts are still a small fraction of the sheriff’s office budget, which typically runs close to $30 million annually or more than a third of the county’s entire general budget.
