The Office of the Sheriff will provide on-site security, to include weapons and contraband screening, at the newly constructed County Administration Building in Martinez. This will include costs to purchase and install all necessary equipment, annual maintenance contracts, and staffing - including an overtime budget for Board of Supervisor meeting coverage, special events, or protests when additional staffing is required. In order to provide such security the Office of the Sheriff will need to add one (1) Sergeant, two (2) Deputy Sheriffs and two (2) Sheriff’s Rangers.  
  
The assigned Sheriff's Office staff will be highly visible and responsible for operating the weapons screening area at the building's front entrance during business hours. The primary focus is the detection of weapons and contraband to ensure the safety of all who enter or work at the location. Deputy Sheriff's will be responsible for providing police services to include: enforcing applicable laws, conducting interior/exterior perimeter checks, responding to calls for assistance/disturbances, investigating crimes occurring in or around the building, and providing security for Board of Supervisor's meetings or Special Events.

If this is not approved, the County Administration Building will not have police services to oversee security at the newly constructed building.
