But its not enough, its just about the money, how much, and not enough. A salary larger than the private sector, nope, benefits, nope, best retirement program ever, nope, paid vacation, nope, top of the line health care, nope. None, nada, would cause a person to give up their current life style to become a Coos County Sheriff, just not enough pay.
Need them sheriffs to open more Jail Cell bed capacity. And a more economically endowed criminal to extract resources from as they pay their way through the criminal justice system.
Those bored homeless citizens who break in, and steal, living from hand to mouth, can’t be tagged for payment from their welfare or unemployment resources. They choose to be criminals, there is no punishment, for doing wrong.
Each Municipality in Coos County need to pony up, just add a fee to each Water Bill, send the money directly to the Sheriffs office, not through administration, as they will charge to eye ball it.
Coos Bay and North Bend have already set examples for fee extractions, North Bend applying it to the water bill. The North Bend/Coos Bay Water Board can just send those collected fees right on to the Sheriff, knowing that money will be used to operate the jail and make boring crime in Coos County less exciting.
