Commissioners and sheriff agree: We need more deputies on the road and working in the jail The commissioners did not dispute the need for eight additional road deputies. If anything, they favor Woods bringing on more. They also support Woods' proposal to hire four more detention deputies and four more detention assistants at the Marion County Jail, where all agree the existing staff needs reinforcement. The commissioners' objection was Woods' plan to spend money elsewhere, such as five additional call takers for non-emergency calls at the communications center. The county believes that task can be handled by its existing staff.
