Governors and my CP

         The duties of a Sheriff and it's deputies are to enforce all state and local government rules. The way a Governor would have the authority to make an impact on my Community Partner's operations is by pushing for changes in the laws which they enforce, or altering the budget distribution. In 2012, my Community Partner's department took a huge hit of 21 million being cut from their Annual Budget. This made a huge impact on their operations because many people got chunks cut from their paychecks, or even work hours. Since our Governor serves as the Chief Executive of the state of California, their responsibilities also include making annual State of the State Addresses to the California State Legislature, ensuring enforcement of state laws and submitting the budget.

So the answer would be both yes and no. The Governors always have an impact on state law enforcement agencies. However, each department is still bound to their own policies and procedures which we must adhere to. The Governor may influence law enforcements on a broader aspect, but the nitty gritty work is independently established.
