Sheriff reports deposits, jail population and staffing vacancies to Emergency Services Committee
Summary
The sheriff’s office presented monthly deposits of $52,601.13, a cost-per-service figure of $1,159, an average daily jail population of 767 and current vacancies across patrol, school resource, court and corrections roles.
The county sheriff’s office told the Emergency Services Committee on Oct. 6 that the office recorded total deposits of $52,601.13 for the month, reported a total cost per service of $1,159, and an average daily jail population of 767.
Sheriff (speaker identified in the transcript as Sheriff) reported staffing vacancies: one deputy sheriff vacancy, one school resource officer vacancy, one or two court officer deputy vacancies, and 11 corrections vacancies. The sheriff said those figures are “down from about 52 years ago,” and characterized recent hiring work as making “really good” progress.
Committee members did not take formal action on the report. The sheriff also noted ongoing activities such as PTO Crossing returning to closing and commission, and provided an animal-control update as part of the departmental report packet.
Why it matters: jail population and staffing levels influence county corrections operations and public-safety capacity; the reported vacancies identify roles the county will need to recruit to sustain operations.
