Hello,

I am a Corrections Deputy for Kent County Sheriff's Department in Michigan. There has been recent talk of BDUs being our uniform to some degree and I'm trying to research this issue.

If you work Corrections for a Sheriff's Department and wear BDUs, is your pay any different than your department's road patrol? If it's different, is it higher or lower?

Did changing your uniform of the day have anything to do with your rate of pay? If so, did it raise it or lower it? Or have you been wearing BDUs for years and don't know why your pay is different?

If your line staff wears BDUs, what does your administration wear?

If you respond would you please add informaton about your union/association please. This may be an issue of negotiations for us and I am researching in preparation.

Thanks and be safe,

Al
