Board approves sheriff's updated organizational chart tied to Delta Township contract
Summary
After a presentation of an updated command structure and potential contract opportunities, the Eaton County Board approved an organizational chart intended to support the Delta Township contract and possible new municipal agreements.
County staff and the sheriff's office presented an updated organizational chart showing command staffing, detective bureau roles, courthouse security and positions partially funded by the Delta Township administrative fee. Staff said the structure is intended both to meet current obligations and to position the sheriff's office to pursue contracts with other municipalities.
Under questioning, staff explained that some specialized positions (accident reconstruction, detectives) could serve multiple jurisdictions and that contractual arrangements would allocate supervisory costs across partners. Commissioners approved the organizational charts as presented; staff said implementation and any further staffing changes would be revisited during future budget cycles as recruitment and contract negotiations progress.
