Legal/Labor Issues
Special Order 05-006-Effective May 2, 2005
Pursuant to the General Orders Manual 3.2.3 Conditions
of Work (D), the Sheriff reserves the right to review and revoke
permission for any employee to engage in off-duty work at any time. Due to
liability and workers compensation issues, effective May 2, 2005,
employees will no longer be permitted to engage in off-duty security or
loss prevention employment.
Lateral Hires
The Lateral hires will be field trained prior to senior
Deputies currently assigned to Jail Division. The reasoning behind this is
that their training will take considerable less time and will ease the
burden of the Deputies assigned to Road Patrol. However, they will receive
no seniority over those promoted to the classification of Deputy Sheriff
prior to their Lateral to the Sheriff’s Office.
Additional information on Laterals
Two of the three Laterals are trained as Evidence
Technicians and are to be temporarily assigned to the Evidence Program for
45 days, pursuant to the temporary assignment covered in the contract. The
FOP will not hamper this decision as long as the current list for Evidence
Technicians is completed prior to them being placed into the EV Program on a
permanent basis as it has been in past practice.
ALL members of the Sheriff’s Office are encouraged to take an FOP
representative with them to ALL Special Investigations interview
whether you are the focus or a witness.
