Sheriff seeks eight new hires and legal position return
Sheriff Charlie McDonald asked county officials to fund eight new employees and a full time staff attorney, restoring a position cut in 2010. He said legal services demand justifies the role and would fund it by reallocating an unfilled budget manager post and savings from Greensboro law firm fees. He also sought four call takers, a jail safety officer, two administrative assistants, and a courthouse security officer for FY 2015 16. McDonald noted use of existing staff to create a domestic violence unit, assign a narcotics detective to prescription drug diversion full time, reassign deputies to grow the squad to nine, and shift patrol to permanent day and night with a flexible power squad during peak periods.
