It’s pretty much already mandated. If we do not get vaccinated, the HCSO will not cover any COVID related illness.
As far as becoming more short handed on patrol due to COVID sick deputies, shame on this agency for keeping us at a skeleton crew in the first place in order to waste the budget on toys. Nothing in training has been modified, ramped up, sped up, increased, or whatever to fill these zone positions.
Working these large zones alone when they were designed for the to four deputies per zone is a nightmare during peak hours.
I hope it all crumbles.

If they’re going to mandate a vaccine as a requirement for employment, are they going to cover any medical issues coming from the vaccine as worker’s comp? I mean, they’re the ones saying we have to have it to work, so I’m assuming they’re liable for all adverse effects like blood clots, dead arm syndrome, blindness, death, etc... You know, all the things listed as adverse reactions that I didn’t have until I took the shot they required for me to keep my job!

Lost perspective
It’s not about Tik Tok or internet memes. It’s about losing the freedom to choose what I put in my body. I’m not going to comply because you say so, you bully me or call me names. I choose FREEDOM. The minute we start giving up our rights, the rest of the constitution will come crumbling down.
If the vaccine works (which it doesn’t), then you’re safe. You take it! Fact is, you can still get it and spread it with the jab. Leave me alone and my natural immunity that protects me from it 99.97 percent.

You chose "freedom". Five police officers in Florida died last week from Covid. If you are actually a Deputy, it is scary because one of the hallmarks of a good law enforcement officer is to possess common sense. Clearly, this is something that you were not gifted with nor learned. I can see that getting your medical advice from social media and opinion talk show hosts is serving you well. People like you makes the characters in "Dumb and Dumber" look intelligent.

Chad can make this mandate work and still cover the street. All sworn personnel in a cushy position, will have to get back into a uniform and start pushing a green and white for 12 hours to fill all the empty zones. No more of these specialty squads and units that leave us hurting for 94s. People who are jail certified, can start doing rotation hours in the jails to fill their gaps and holes. We can do the most with the very least—for awhile.
As of right now, the county has outgrown our ability to keep up with calls for service. The giant loss of manpower caused by a vaccine mandate, will be felt for decades. But hey, it’s not Chad’s problem. He has other political aspirations. It will be the problem of the future sheriffs, to figure out how to run this office without deputies. Eventually, Hillsborough County will turn into New York, or even Chicago. But, at least everyone is vaccinated from an illness with a 99% survival rate.
I go to work every day with 5 deputies on my squad, and that’s if we all show up. None of us are vaccinated, and not a single one of us cares. Every single one of us has had Covid, most likely caused by dealing with the lowliest of Hillsborough citizens— the ones the command staff hasn’t had contact with in 15 plus years. Every single one of us, has burned our own time because this office refused to cover us, even during lockdown last year when everything was closed, and the only place we could’ve gotten this was at work, but we still came back and did our jobs. Some of the best producers on my platoon, are the unvaccinated ones, and the office can’t afford to lose them.
The problem with this office has always been the command staff telling us what they think we want, and giving us things we didn’t ask for, instead of actually giving us what we need and want. It’s like bad parenting. You buy your kids a bunch of shiny, expensive toys, hoping they won’t realize you were never there when it really mattered and that you never valued them to begin with.
None of us are asking for a vaccine mandate that is going to leave us more shorthanded than we already are. We need more units, not less! What we are asking for, is to go home at night to our families. I can do that with Covid and it’s 99% survival rate. What I can’t survive, is a bullet in my head because once again, this office left me without a back up. And I won’t do it either!

I hope it doesn't come to that, but wait until HR compiles the list of all vaccinated and unvaccinated employees. If you didn't get the vax, you will never be promoted
