DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
In 2005, the Deputy Sheriff’s Association (DSA) donated exercise equipment to outfit the Sheriff’s Office exercise room. The existing equipment in the exercise room is getting worn out and is old. The DSA is donating new equipment to the Sheriff’s Office and the equipment will be utilized by staff in the Public Safety Facility exercise room. Pieces of equipment donated in 2005 and in June of 2016 are being transferred back to the DSA. Similar Board action returning old equipment back to the DSA was taken on June 28, 2016. The Sheriff’s Office on-duty exercise wellness program provides an opportunity to be physically and mentally well. This includes but is not limited to, emotional and 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 as a means to maintain physical fitness and mental fitness. The purpose of the program is to enable staff to pursue their physical fitness goals in-order to enhance their fitness on the job.
