FUNDING: N/A
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Sheriff’s Office received Board approval to purchase a Helicopter for Aviation patrol duties. As a result, the Sheriff’s Office expressed a need for a Deputy Sheriff II to perform pilot duties when necessary to function as a Helicopter Pilot. At the request of the Sheriff’s Office, Human Resources analyzed the minimum qualifications of the Deputy Sheriff I-II to identify additional duties, knowledge, abilities and required certifications to the Deputy Sheriff II classification when assigned as a Helicopter Pilot.
As a result of the analysis, in collaboration with the Sheriff’s Office, Human Resources recommends a revision to the minimum qualifications for the Deputy Sheriff I-II classification. Human Resources and the Sheriff’s Office are also recommending updates to the Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, and Undersheriff classifications to address the new Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) titled “Peace officers: certification: civil rights. (2021-2022)," which outlines the peace officer certification requirement changes in California. In addition, there were edits to the existing classification specification in order to format it to Human Resources’ current standards.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the revised job classifications and direct Human Resources to explore other options or revisions.
