Trooper numbers down on Hoke County roads By Ron Anderson Hoke County is currently ex periencing a shortage of highway patrol officers, but a spokesman for the North Carolina Highway Patrol says the problem should be corrected soon. The county is alloted four highway patrol officers, but at the present time there are only two on duty, Line Sgt. M.D. Valentine said in a telephone interview on Friday. "Basically, you have troopers Ken Weston and W.T. Burr, plus a line sergeant, F.L. Moody," Valentine said. Valentine said the reason the county is short two officers is because one former trooper was dismissed, and another was transferred. Two new officers are scheduled to report to Hoke County around December 18, Valentine said. Those officers, D.H. Moore and B.D. White, are currently in school and will be graduating this week. When they arrive in Hoke Coun ty, the new officers will go through a six-week training period with Trooper Ken Weston and Scotland County Trooper Mike Webb, ac cording to Valentine. ' Hoke County will again have four troopers on the road when the training period is completed. Valentine said the problem of trooper shortages is not confined to Hoke County. "The entire state is short on per sonnel," Valentine said. "The Highway Patrol has not added ad ditional personnel since 1972." "When you think about the in crease in the amount of cars in re cent years, that puts us at a distinct disadvantage," Valentine said. Passage of the Fair Labor Stan dards Act has put a further strain on the highway patrol by not allowing troopers to work over time without pay, Valentine said. "We had troopers over the years put in 10 to 12 extra hours a week on their own and never ask for pay," Valentine said. "Now we can't work them but 40 hours, and its hard to get the job done." Valentine said legislation signed by President Reagan last month which allows state and local governments to continue offering time off in lieu of overtime pay has helped some. "It's helped by taking pressure off now that we don't have to pay them, but we still have to give them the time off," Valentine com mented.
