Mr. Roy Rewold,
Chairperson
Board of Commissioners
County of Oakland
Dear Chairman Rewold:
In order to better distribute supervisory officers within the structure of
the Sheriff's Department for more efficient control and to provide a
clear-cut, upper-level command responsibility for the highly controversial
subject of control of overtime, the following reorganization is proposed.
Initially, (some sixty days ago) the Captain of Corrective Services/Main
Division and the Chief of Staff were given a specific assignment to monitor
overtime by drawing personnel from throughout the entire Department (both
Road and Corrections) to fill in vacancies (created by unforeseen
circumstances) to attempt to reduce such costs. Our sixty-day experimental
phase leads us to belteve that this can be a cost effective means of
reducing unnecessary overtime. To that end, the first ma'ior feature of the
reorganization has been to remove the Captain of Corrective Services/Main
Division and assign him as Assistant to the Chief of Staff in charge of
Personnel Allocation with the responsibility of managing personnel,
controlling leave days, vacations, overtime, etc., on a Department-wide
basis rather than by Division as it has been done in the past.
is necessary since he must deal with other Captains on at least an equal
rank basis.) To fill his vacancy as a temporary measure, a Lieutenant of
Corrective Services has been placed in command of the Corrective
Services/Main Division. It is envisioned that, should the next few months
prove as productive as in the past in overtime reduction, the amount saved
will be several times in excess of the difference of upgrading this
position to the rank of Captain. Thereby, we will accomplish both overtime
control and maintain an officer of proper rank to command the Main Jail.
We have already pointed out in several committee meetings that the Jail
System is closely approaching maximum capacity. We have, also, experienced
both an increased number of complaints and conflicts, between prisoners and
Jail personnel -- and prisoner versus prisoner. The majority of this
overcrowding is in the Booking and Receiving area where prisoners are
crowded together.in close confinement. The number of prisoners in the area
(200+ at times) results in severe tension among inmates with corresponding
difficulty of control. The volume of work and traffic in the zone dictates
a supervisor should be in charge at all times! It is in this area, also,
that Bonding and Release of prisoners take place; both of which are highly
critical and controversial procedures.
(A Captain

accountability and responsibility for the
Further, experience has shown that the majority of the "non-overtime"
problems in which the Sheriff's Department finds itself involved is
difficulty within the Corrections System, and to that end we are
reassigning two (2) Lieutenants formerly of Protective Services Division
(Road Patrol) to positions in Corrective Services; one of which will be
reassigned to Corrective Services/Satellite Division, the other will be
reassigned to Corrective Services/Main Division to fill the vacancy created
secondarily by the appointment of the Assistant to the.Chief of Staff for
Personnel Allocation.
Further reassignments will include:
- One (1) Sergeant from the Protective Services Division [Road Patrol] to
Protective Services Division . [Alcohol Enforcement Unit] which, at the
present time, is operating without any direct supervision.
- One (1) Sergeant from Technical Services Division [Special Teams
Unit/Warrants] to Corrective Services/Satellite Division [Trusty Camp)
to become the Commander of the Regimented Inmate Discipline Program
(RIDP) when it is reinstituted (with the Board's approval) in the
Spring.
- Because of a tremendous backlog of unserved Warrants throughout the
County which the Sheriff's Department is responsible for collating,
entering in the computer, and attempting to Apprehend the subjects
thereof, two (2) Deputy II's currently assigned to Protective Services
Division (Road Patrol) will be formally reassigned to Technical Services
Division [Special Teams Unit/Warrants] to attempt to reduce and maintain
control of the backlog.
One (1) Deputy from Protective Services Division [Traffic Unit] to
Technical Services Division [Special Teams Unit/Warrants], also, to fill
the vacancy created by transfer of a Sergeant to the Regimented Inmate
Discipline Program.
- Taking into consideration the fact that the Boot Camp experiment, at the
present time, seems to be a viable means of saving Jail 'space, as well
as possibly affecting "recidivistic" tendencies of the inmates, it is
contemplated that beginning March 1, 1991, another program conducted
under similar circumstances; i.e., field tents, outdoor living, et
cetera, f sufficient magnitude to thoroughly test the program will be
instituted. In order to provide a basic "cadre" in part, five (5)
Deputies from Protective Services Division [Road Patrol] freed up by the
unique contract with Rochester Hills (which is a no fill-in program)
will be reassigned to that function creating no financial drain on the
County falling in line with the Board of Commissioner's directive to
find ways of accomplishing new programs without excessive budgetary

drain. We will, however, seek overtime authorization for annual leave,
fill-in, or additional persons to do so. Likewise, some staff persons
. to monitor job placement may be added to the Inmate Worker staff.
It is our belief, that the aforementioned changes should:
1. Make a major contribution in correcting the eternal problem of overtime
expenditures.
2. Provide better supervision and spans of control in those areas in the
Department which are grossly in need of it; i.e., Jail and Corrective
Services.
3. With the reactivation of the Boot Camp on a larger scale, provide a
viable means of saving hundreds of Jail days at a minimal cost to the ....... _ _—
County.
The Department, as in the past, will closely monitor each of these
programs, and if it appears that they are neither feasible nor productive
will take immediate steps to shift them into a more economic posture.
Sincerely,
John F. Nichols,
Sheriff
