Gualtieri - no money for an 8 hour shift at the jail

In a recent e-mail Sheriff Gualtieri stated there is no money for an 8 hour shift in one of the jail's 3 divisions.

The jail ran just fine on 8 hour shifts since it was opened in 1980. The money was always there. When 12 hour shifts were implemented due to budget constraints a significant amount of money was saved. Now that the budget is back in good shape where did the money which was supposed to go back in the jail budget go? If the money isn't there, where is it and why does Gualtieri refuse to put it back in the jail budget so we can return to 8 hour shifts like it has been for decades? What about the money saved when patrol went to 12 hour shifts? Why can't that money be used to fund 8 hour shifts at the jail?

Gualtieri is all about money and doesn't give a damn about the health and well being of the detention deputies and their familes. If Gualtieri and his executive staff were forced to work 12 hour shifts with alternating days off they would not like it, especially if they worked in the jail. What a miserable and self-centered arrogant SOB he is for forcing this 12 hour shift crap on his detention deputies. No wonder turnover is increasing because nobody wants to work there.

Well Steffan and Simovich got over two million of it. Why don't you ask Gualtieri where all that civil asset forfeiture cash went to.

What a miserable SOB you are. Go get a job a Burger King or something. You don't deserve to wear the star and call yourself a Deputy Sheriff. BK has 4 hour part time shifts that should suite you good. My god you have a high school diploma at best and make $70,000 a year and all you con do is complain that you get every other weekend off on a 3 day weekend but the hours are to long and you really can't hack it. Get it, hack it, jail hack :):) That's funny in case you don't have the ability to recognize the pun. Seriously in there anyhting you don't complain about?

This post exemplifies the typical arrogance and faux superiority of so many LEO's today. Police used to be humble and honorable. Kids used to want to be police and people used to look up to them. Now I hear kids making fun of cops and smart mouthing them. Now LEO's are too busy looking up to themselves and everybody else are dirt beneath their feet. And you wonder why the general public has a swiftly growing disdain of your profession.

Jailers are your coworkers and share the uniform you moron. If you would treat your coworkers with such cowardly disrespect, how are you with the public?

How about getting rid of some of the dead wood administrative types such as the worthless Col. Halle, one of the Chief Deputies and many others. That should free up some money needed to for one jail division to go back to 8 hour shifts. These people collect fat high risk salaries yet they take no risks. Work some 12 hour shifts at the jail before lecturing us about the job we should be thankful we have. You must be one of the a-hole administrators who regularly puts his head on Bob's lap and services him. Office leeches like you drained the money out of the budget so we ended up short on jail staff and having to work 12 hour shifts.

You are a disgrace to the badge (if you really have one). Or you are some dirtbag inmate who acted stupid and got his azz beat at the jail. Most likely the latter so you come here to stir up the shizt.

You're probably one of very few that actually wants 8 hour shifts. I'm sure you would much rather have Tuesday-Wednesday off and have to get ready 5 days per week instead of 3-4. Some people live almost an hour away, and it's a waste of time driving in 5 days. Stop being a whiny little *****, and be grateful that you have every other weekend off. And you really don't think Bob and his people don't work 12+ hours per day on average, you are out of your mind! They are working constantly! Maybe you should stop speaking for everyone.

You are close about one thing - having to drive an hour to the jail, work a 12 hour shift, then driving another hour to get home leaves very little time for anything other than sleep. Such a 3 day work week sucks. There have been auto accidents caused by the fatigue of 12 hour shifts. The jail voted 3 times for 8 hour shifts before 12 hour shifts were imposed.

"Bob and his people" are the laziest slugs in the agency. Everyone knows it.

There is no comparison between 12 hours at the jail in the housing units to 12 hours in a nice office building and driving around in a Tahoe, being able to go and come as you please.

Then get a new job as you are the one who chose the career as a correctional officer. If you want to be a police officer then apply and become one. Otherwise please shut up and quit whining. Do you complain about your pay check too?
