ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Oneida County Child Advocacy Center is getting help to deal with a growing case load.

The county legislature approved a proposal 27 to one Wednesday that will allow the Sheriff's department to reassign two of its investigators to the center.

Up until this point, the Child Advocacy Center only had four investigators on staff and were overwhelmed with dozens of cases.

Sheriff Maciol has said he hopes to have the employees re-assigned and on the job by February.
