"Security officer"? Is this an attempted end-run around the correction officer's union? The 2 jobs sure sound exactly the same.
Just another way for the sheriff and the governor to SCREW unions. Eliminate the sheriff's office, replace the governor.
Condemned for the old court house (asbestos), but the jail is still up and running on floors 14+ I believe
The MSO only provides radios. The security guys are in a different union than the CO's so I don't know if they are provided with a uniform allowance.
I guess there's a big difference between carrying a sap and working for one...unless you have to carry him because he can't command his/her way out of a paper bag.
Thank god my helipad is finished, and my 1000 foot driveway is finally paved and ready to go for all these toys!
