Monterey County Sheriff Scott Miller addressed the Board of Supervisors Tuesday to formally dispute the 2012 Civil Grand Jury report that called out his department for excessive overtime.
While he supports the work of the civil grand jury, Miller said, there were “glaring omissions and problems” withing the report pertaining his department.
The report states that the panel met with the heads of the five departments investigated, but Miller said he was not contacted. Another item in the report that was inaccurate, was a statement that the department had failed to cap its employees at 56 hours of work per week, including overtime. The report stated that no such cap had been implemented as of October. Miller said the “56 hours rule” was implemented in May.
He said steps have already been taken to reduce overtime in his department. Some of those include converting 12 deputy sheriff positions to custody and control positions at the jail to be staffed by civilians and reassigning five patrol deputies to the jail.
