Undersheriff Rick Staly will retire next month; and, in what is being described as a cost-cutting measure, Sheriff Manfre has decided that the position should be eliminated.
“My original management philosophy is having more deputies on the street to serve the public instead of having high ranking officials in the office,” Manfre told local reporters. “By eliminating the position of Undersheriff, we’ve been able to add first line supervisors and deputies to road patrol.”
Other promotions taking effect April 15th include:
- Corporal Jason Neat promoted to the rank of Sergeant
- Corporal Jon Welker promoted to the rank of Sergeant
- Deputy Ryan Emery promoted to the rank of Corporal
