From Rick Dill LJJSDate June 4, 1993
Subject: Reallocation & Recommendation
The 1993 approved budget for Correctional Administration (01-2310) included
$42,000 in machinery and equipment. Of that amount, $35,000 was allocated to
purchase a live-scan fingerprinting device. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation
has since notified us they intend to place a live-scan fingerprinting device at
the Sheriff's Office without cost.
I am requesting the approved allocation be used to procure a capital item that
would be requested in the 1994 budget and purchase consultant services to develop
comprehensive jail procedures and jail post orders during 1993. Specifically,
the $35,000 would be used to replace the commercial clothes dryer for inmate
clothing at an estimated cost of $4,500 and to purchase consultant services to
develop and write procedures and post orders for $29,500.
The Weld County Jail has never had a comprehensive, objective set of written
operational procedures or post orders. These written materials are necessary to
insure consistency, set minimum performance standards, and set training
competency standards. This is particularly critical with the many facility
changes anticipated from the current renovation.
We lack the resources to devote to such a comprehensive and technical project.
Much less resource, however, would be necessary to maintain procedures and post
orders once the base documents have been developed and are in place. Sheriff
Jordan and I also believe the use of objective third parties to review current
jail practices would provide and excellent opportunity to review the overall
operation and have long-term benefit.
The project would be coordinated and managed by Suzanne Laznicka, our Training
Design expert working with a focus group of correctional officers and jail
management. She has experience in nearly the same capacity as an employee of a
government defense contractor working on U.S. Air Force projects. The potential
benefit to developing competency-based training is significant.
