RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21997 to cancel one (1) Sheriff's Crime Analyst (64VA) (represented) vacant position number 11964 at salary plan and grade ZB5 1510 ($5,162 - $6,275) and add one (1) Sheriff's Specialist (64VE) (represented) position at salary plan and grade VN5 1285 ($4,252 - $5,298) in the Sheriff's Office - Investigations Division.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Office of the Sheriff will have an annual cost savings of $21,082 to the department’s general fund, and an annual retirement savings of $3,840.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff recently purchased a new crime analysis software system that will greatly improve the efficiency of the Crime Analyst Unit. The Investigations Unit currently has one Crime Analyst vacancy and is requesting to cancel the position and add a Sheriff's Specialist position. There is a significant backlog of cases due to the lack of administrative support. Administrative task include accessing computer databases, gathering data, analyzing AP sheet information, and delivering cases to the District Attorney's Office. Consequently, Detectives are performing many of these task. Approving this change in position structure within the Division will permit the Sheriff's Specialist to perform the administrative duties that are currently being completed by Detectives, allowing them to spend time investigating cases.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this request may result in a continued increase in case backlogs, poor use of Detectives professional time, which affects their ability to investigate cases in a timely manner, and may impact the safety and security of the citizens of Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
