• Brunswick sheriff deputies balance rapid growth and staffing needs (starnewsonline.com subscription) — Bolivia residents rely on the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office, headquartered and jailed in town, for primary law enforcement coverage alongside several nearby municipalities without their own police. The sheriff explains how rapid growth, staffing needs, and interlocal agreements with towns like Navassa and Northwest affect patrol levels, response times, and what residents can do if they want more visible coverage.
