Purpose

Currently, we have lack of 24/7 supervisory coverage in our Patrol Division.  We currently, have two sergeants that cover both second and third shifts but due to days off and benefit leave we are short coverage approximately 200 days per year for second shift and 200 days per year for third shift.  By adding one additional sergeant position we could reduce the lack of coverage.  Second and Third shift are the highest liability shifts as we currently do not have the supervisory staff for directing calls and making high liability decisions.  Second and Third shifts are the shifts where the newest deputies are staffed.
