DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Deputy Sheriff’s Association (DSA) previously donated exercise equipment to outfit the Sheriff’s Office exercise room in South Lake Tahoe. The existing equipment in the exercise room is now aged and worn out. The DSA is now donating new equipment to the Sheriff’s Office for the South Lake Tahoe exercise room. The existing equipment will go through the traditional surplus process.
The Sheriff’s Office on-duty wellness program is beneficial to the mental and physical wellbeing of staff, including emotional/stress management and diet. One component of the program is on-duty exercise/training. The intention of the on-duty exercise/training is not to "body-build", but to exercise to maintain healthy bodies and minds. Therefore, participants limit the amount of weight lifted and exercise done to avoid injury or sickness. The purpose of the program is to enable staff to pursue their physical fitness goals in order to enhance their fitness on the job.
