Sheriff recommends RFP for third‑shift courthouse security to save roughly $30k–$50k

Aug 11, 2026

After one year running courthouse security, the sheriff proposed issuing an RFP to contract third‑shift security: eliminating four county positions (two full‑time, two part‑time) would save about $141,000; vendor quotes ranged $79,000–$104,000, implying net savings if contracted.

The full story

Sheriff told commissioners that since the sheriff's office assumed courthouse security in July 2025, third‑shift coverage includes two full‑time and two part‑time positions that have been difficult to fill. He said eliminating those county posts and contracting third‑shift coverage could save roughly $141,000 annually.
