The Lathrop City Council has yet to make a formal decision about which direction they want to go when it comes to providing police protection to the city of more than 22,000 residents. But the man trying to unseat longtime San Joaquin County Sherriff Steve Moore is asking that they wait a little bit longer – until June to be exact – before they cast anything into stone. Former San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Pat Withrow – who unsuccessfully challenged Moore in 2014 – spoke during the public comment portion of Monday’s Lathrop City Council meeting, pleading with the body to hold off of finalizing a contract with a rival agency until after the election.
