Sheriff-Coroner

Budget Summary of Changes

The Sheriff-Coroner budget reflects commitment to the preservation of public safety through innovative service partnerships, improvements to correctional facilities that focus on the safety of inmates and staff, increased investments in medical and mental health services provided to inmates, and the design and building of a state-of-the-art DNA laboratory that will significantly reduce case processing times.

The Sheriff-Coroner budget includes scheduled and negotiated salary and benefit increases. The budget also recommends funding 2.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) Sheriff Records Clerk positions and adding 1.0 FTE IT Business Systems Analyst to comply with all mandated records management requirements and effectively manage the mandated California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). Increases to contractual obligations and expenses for medical and mental health services provided to inmates are recommended as part of a three-year approach to enhance these services and achieve the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) Accreditation required for jail facilities.
