SAN
FRANCISCO, June
25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs' Association
wrote a letter to San Francisco
Mayor London Breed and requested that she intervene to force the
San Francisco Sheriff's Office to
increase hiring.
SFDSA President Ken Lomba stated,
"We have been advocating for hiring over the last 5 years with
Sheriff's Administration. In the last two years the Sheriff's
Office has taken salary savings to an all time high, exhausting our
deputy sheriff members."
San Francisco Sheriff Miyamoto
has told the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors that he will expedite the hiring of 75 Deputy
Sheriffs this year. Sixty new deputies and fifteen academy trained
and/or laterals. The problem with this is more than 75 deputies
will have resigned and retired by the end of this fiscal year which
will put the Sheriff's Office in a further negative.
To operate the San Francisco Jails, it requires 423 deputy
sheriffs. Currently the jail staffing is minus approximately 130
deputy sheriffs. This is not the only staffing shortage at the San
Francisco Sheriffs' Office, the Field Operations Division which is
primarily patrol and government building law enforcement is
approximately 50 deputy sheriffs short. At the same time the
managers and supervisors from sergeant to sheriff are nearly 100%
staffed. During Sheriff Miyamoto's term the amount of supervisors'
positions have increased, and field operation positions have
increased. Both of those increases had negatively impacted the
staffing within the San Francisco Jails.
The San Francisco Deputy
Sheriffs' Association asked Mayor London Breed to intervene to
increase deputy sheriffs in the San Francisco Jails.
