The stationary patrol method is a response to cut costs despite increases in the department\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to be over our budget if it continues,\u201d Ross added.<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio police department is not alone. The Isabella County Sheriff\u2019s Office in central Michigan said last week that it had already <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/rising-gas-prices-impacting-responders\/story?id=85260667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exhausted<\/a> its fuel funds several months ahead of new budget funding. In response, the office announced it would seek to manage more non-emergency calls over the phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ\">\u201cDeputies will continue to provide patrols to all areas of the county, they will respond to those calls that need to be managed in person. Any call that is in progress with active suspects will involve a response by the deputies,\u201d Sheriff Michael Main said in a Facebook post. \u201cI want to assure the community that safety is our primary goal, and we will continue to respond to those types of calls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to police, other first responders are also making changes in response to high gas prices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur agency conducts a wide range of both emergency and non-emergency activities each year. And, unfortunately due to the rising gas prices, we have had to issue new policy guidance on limiting some activities to make sure that we are able to manage our budget appropriately,\u201d Franklin County Emergency Management Director Ryan Buckingham <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/outrageous-gas-prices-sparking-emergency-response-changes-across-us-1714464\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> WSIL-TV last week.<\/p>\n<div data-box-type=\"fitt-adbox-fitt-article-inline-box\">\n<p>The nation\u2019s record-level gas prices under President Joe Biden have now surged to an <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">average<\/a> of more than $5 per gallon. The price is nearly $2 per gallon higher than just one year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The secondary impact of high gas prices is now beginning to be felt in other ways across America, including public safety, as police budgets must deal with the reality of higher costs to power police vehicles to protect citizens in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the concerns about gas prices on police departments, the White House on Monday said Biden and the Democrats have created a \u201chistoric economic boom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre offered a startling different reality during Monday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/huh-white-house-claims-biden-has-sparked-a-historic-economic-boom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daily briefing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we know \u2014 we know that the \u2014 that high prices are having a real effect on people\u2019s lives. We get that. And we are incredibly focused on doing everything that we can to make sure that the economy is working for every \u2014 American people. But we are coming out of the strongest job market in American history, and that matters. And that \u2014 a lot of that is thanks to the American Rescue Plan, which only Democrats voted for that \u2014 Republicans did not \u2014 and it led to this economic boom \u2014 this historic economic boom that we\u2019re seeing with jobs,\u201d Jean-Pierre said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Ohio police department is being forced to cut back on patrols due to the nation\u2019s soaring gas prices, according to a new report.
