Sheriff Derek Sanders said deputies are working dangerously long days and overtime costs are forcing cuts elsewhere in the department's budget.
THURSTON COUNTY, Wash. — Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders declared a temporary staffing emergency in the department Wednesday, citing only 36 active deputies for the county of 150,000.
Sheriff's office employees are working"dangerously long days with routine overtime," Sanders said. The overtime costs are also cutting into the department's budget, forcing the department to regularly cancel training to stay within budget. Declaring a staffing emergency will allow Sanders to alter employee schedules to address the station's needs. Sanders listed the following changes:
Captains in the Field Operations Bureau and the Support Services Bureau will be reassigned a number of administrative duties held by lieutenants
