FISCAL IMPACT:

Savings to General Fund of $22,899, which includes an increase of $35,448 to annual pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff has requested to cancel one Supervising Fingerprint Examiner, one Criminalist II position and add one Deputy Sheriff- Forensic Supervisor position. The department has determined that the proposed staffing adjustment would benefit the overall operation of the department.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to upcoming changes to education accreditation requirements by the American Society of Crime Lab Directors-Laboratory Advisory Board (ASCLD-LAB), a Deputy Sheriff- Forensic Supervisor is needed to oversee the Latent Fingerprint Unit to ensure standards in the forensic discipline are implemented appropriately. (Cost Savings)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the lack of accreditation would impair the functionality of the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Forensics Division and negatively impact the public health and safety of the citizens of Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact
