Issue: The Pubic Safety Specialist recently vacated Slot 1857 due to retirement. The salary for this slot will serve a better use for the Sheriff's Office by funding the approved Officer I slot (2851) and changing the Specialist title to IT Technician.
Solution: Utilizing an IT Technician will help provide immediate IT support for the dispatch unit and for other information technology tasks required on a daily basis. This will be accomplished by changing the title from Public Safety Specialist to IT technician. Further, the remaining salary budget would be transferred into the approved Officer I slot (2851) which is currently funded with $100.00 under the general order.
Result: Secure additional IT support, more specifically for dispatch operations, patrol connectivity issues, and other IT duties as assigned. Lastly the remaining funds will support the previously approved Officer I slot for Patrol.
