The sheriff's office citizens advisory board voted to give support to Sheriff Anthony Dennis in his request to have control of Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center given back to the sheriff's office during the group's first meeting on Monday night. The board was formed this year in an effort for the sheriff's office to strengthen its connection with county residents. The advisory board consists of nine members from various regions of the county with a variety of professional backgrounds who were chosen by a committee of sheriff's office personnel and approved by Dennis himself. Board members include: chairwoman Regina Tucker, vice chairman Robert Duby and Fred H. Fagan, Jose Parral, Robert Davis, R. Mark Smith, Carlton Washington, Jacqueline Hughes and Daniel Palumbo. Dennis made his request for the county law enforcement agency to regain control of the jail in a letter he sent to Sumter County Council on June 16. Control of the jail was given to Sumter County in the mid-'70s after a vote from county council. On Monday, the sheriff's office advisory board voted to provide a letter of support to county council for its records. Dennis said the sheriff's office should have jurisdiction of the detention center because it is a common practice throughout the state for sheriff's offices to have control of county jail systems. During a previous interview, he said the transfer would help fill understaffed positions within both agencies because some deputies already have experience as corrections officers, and corrections officers would have the opportunity to train to become deputies. He said having more access to the jail will also assist in solving cases because deputies will have more opportunities to interact with suspects and people who may have information. County council discussed the matter during a Fiscal, Tax and Property meeting that was held before its regular meeting on Tuesday. Two more approvals are needed before the ordinance goes into effect. Other moments of the advisory board's first meeting included learning about the operations and goals of the sheriff's office and how the board can assist with community relations. Dennis said the board will be a valuable asset to the sheriff's office as well as to county residents, especially because some of the members have served in law enforcement. "I value your opinions," he said. Now that the board has been formed, each member must attend at least 20 hours of sheriff's office training sessions to become familiar with the agency, state and federal policies and procedures. The board is not authorized to get involved in ongoing investigations, according to the board's general order. The advisory board is a public body and will operate similarly to city and county councils. All meetings will be open to the public, and issues must be voted on in public. The board will also be able to hold executive sessions for some matters if necessary. The board's next meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 30. Other meetings may be called before the scheduled date if necessary. [4] | |
