This added reduction of services is necessary to manage a catastrophic staffing shortage throughout the agency,&#8221; the press release, posted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tehamadsa\/photos\/a.1818152001807930\/3402447376711710\/\">Facebook<\/a>, began.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the past several years, the Sheriff\u2019s Office has had difficulties with recruitment and retention of employees, which has been directly linked to pay disparities,&#8221; the statement reads. The average salary for a deputy in Tehama County is between $52,000 and $62,000, an average of $20,000 less than deputies can make in nearby Solano County,\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11415575\/Sheriff-California-county-STOP-daytime-patrols-catastrophic-staffing-shortage.html\">Daily Mail<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p>There are concerns that this move could exacerbate the county&#8217;s already massive crime rate, which is already significantly higher than the national average.<\/p>\n<p>The county has a population of about 66,000 and covers an area of close to 3,000 square miles. Its most populated city, Red Bluff, has a population of just under 15,000 and has a violent crime rate higher than 97 percent of the country.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, deputies have been needed to fill vacancies in county courts and jails. According to the sheriff&#8217;s office, &#8220;this unfortunate, but necessary restructuring has left the operations division with insufficient staff to sustain 24-hour patrol services.&#8221;<br \/>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A drastic rise in attrition, coupled with the inability to present enticing recruitment effort have resulted in an unprecedented staffing shortage,&#8221; the letter continued. &#8220;Most recently, staffing shortages in the custody division have forced the Sheriff\u2019s Office to reassign Deputies from the operations division to fill vacancies within the courts and jail facility.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the sheriff&#8217;s office has been in talks with the California Highway Patrol to try and receive help with daytime emergencies in the county.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the final details are still underway, the CPH will be responding to life threatening emergencies during the hours that [we are] unable to provide patrol services,&#8221; the Sheriff&#8217;s Office said in its press release. &#8220;[We are] committed to continuing all recruitment efforts and working towards restoring patrol\u00a0 services, when staffing levels permit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Night-time patrol in the county has not been affected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A county in California with one of the highest crime rates in the United States is suspending all its daytime patrols due to a &#8220;catastrophic staffing shortage.&#8221;Tehama County, approximately<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1735782,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1735779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1735779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1735779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1735779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1735782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1735779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1735779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1735779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
