FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

Cancel Clerk Senior level $104,689.00
Savings $209,378.00
Add Sheriff’s Crime Analyst ($144,357.00)
Savings $65,021.00

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff’s Investigations Division is unable to process crime scenes and analyze evidence in a timely manner due to a shortage of Sheriff’s Crime Analysts. In order to fund an additional Sheriff’s Crime Analyst the Office of the Sheriff would cancel two (2) clerical positions, each of which have had long term vacancies.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to implement this action will result in the Investigations Division remaining understaffed, continuing to negatively impact the backlog of cases, which ultimately impact the safety of our citizens.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
