Candidate outlines five pillars and emphasizes jail programming ahead of Nov. 3 millage
Summary
Undersheriff Brian Muir told the appointment committee his five pillars for the office include public safety, community engagement, accountability, innovation and secure jail operations, and said a Nov. 3 jail millage would expand medical and behavioral-health services in the facility.
During his interview, the candidate told the committee he organizes his priorities around public safety, community engagement, accountability/transparency, innovation and secure jail and court operations. He said programming and humane treatment inside the correctional facility are priorities, adding the office runs more than two dozen programs for inmates intended to reduce recidivism.
On the subject of financing those improvements, Muir said the office is seeking a jail millage on the Nov. 3 ballot to improve medical services, behavioral health and substance-use disorder treatment inside the facility. "We're seeking to move forward a jail millage to the public voters November 3rd to try to enhance what we're providing right now for our medical services, behavioral health, and substance use disorder treatments inside of our facility," he said, and linked possible facility upgrades to better staffing models if voters approve the measure.
