A short-lived dispute between the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the Jefferson County Commission over funding for the 2024 fiscal year was resolved this morning, according to a JSCO release.
“Sheriff Mark Pettway and the Jefferson County Commission have reached an understanding regarding the County Commission’s freeze on vacant positions for FY 24,” the release said. The sheriff’s office, in a statement released Oct. 12, said that the commission was freezing 30% of their total budget. This decision, the statement said, could result in reduced staffing, delayed equipment upgrades, increased emergency response time, and a potential increase in crime. The commission disputed that in a release later in the day, saying it is just seeking a freeze of 30% of all funded existing vacancies throughout the county system.
