Devlin Jr.
Otsego County Sheriff Richard Devlin Jr. told Otsego County officials Thursday, Dec. 10, that his problems with jail medical issues won t end with filling a couple of nursing positions and overall problems with staffing are hurting morale. As all of you were enjoying Thanksgiving with your families, we had officers working 16-hour shifts, he told county legislators during the Board of Representatives Public Safety and Legal Affairs Committee meeting Thursday, Dec. 10. It was held via Zoom because of the pandemic and can be viewed on the county s Facebook page.
The meeting marked another turn in the contentious relationship between Devlin and his fellow Republicans in county leadership positions over jail staffing.
