Sheriff seeks reclassification of jailers to deputies
Sheriff Loren Anderson seeks approval to reclassify up to 14 jailers as deputies in 1998, with entry pay at $11.92 per hour versus $9.40 for corrections officers. He argues the move would allow independent patrols, better inmate care, and improved staffing flexibility while reducing turnover. Funding estimates range from $100,000 to $250,000, with alternatives being considered by County Administrator Craig Weinang.
