The Knox County Board approved two memoranda of understanding with the sheriff's office bargaining units: one aligning line-of-duty death-benefit language for sergeants/lieutenants with other units, and another integrating a 12-hour patrol-day shift pattern and related holiday language into the patrol contract. Signed copies from the sheriff and the FOP were noted in the chamber.
