SNOW HILL – County officials this week granted a request from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office for more full-time deputies.
The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday voted 6-1 to grant Sheriff Matt Crisafulli’s request to convert five part-time positions to full-time. The change is meant to address recruitment and retention concerns.
“Filling these five positions is absolutely mission critical to sustain the level of service that we provide to Worcester County,” Crisafulli said.
The sheriff approached the commissioners this week asking for the conversion of five part-time positions to full-time as well as an increase in the pay grade for deputies in training. Crisafulli said he hadn’t received any part-time applications since March. In the last two years, he’s received a total of 15 part-time applications.
The office is, however, receiving full-time applications.
Great job your doing Sheriff Crisafulli! A True American Sheriff for the People!!
At least Sheriff Crisafulli is a Real Sheriff unlike his counterpart next county over!!
Great, more cops sitting around in their patrol cars, getting paid overtime to do nothing.
Due to the weak and inept WCSO supervisors in charge of the Worcester County Circuit Courthouse some of the part time deputies assigned there would routinely come in earlier then officially scheduled, and also stay later then officially scheduled in order to pad their paychecks. This despite adequate staff already present and it was allowed to occur. In late 2020, certain part time deputies assigned there were given take home Sheriffs Office assigned vehicles for the sole purpose of driving to and from work. All of these actions on the backs of taxpayers.
You should of filed your complaint with the Sheriff. Did you?
