“It is a part of our plan and our commitment to the county to operate our jail at the highest level. Our budget at the jail is many millions of dollars and because of that, we are obligated to make sure the jail is run and operated correctly,” Sheriff Selman said. Staffing was a huge issue when Selman took office. Today, the jail is nearly fully staffed, with three openings.
Sheriff Tom Selman says they have a great staff at the sheriff’s office but filling some open positions has been the biggest challenge he’s faced thus far.
