Sheriff Christina Corpus announced plans for a childcare center and substation to improve retention, but County Executive Mike Callagy halted the project citing budgetary concerns and protocol violations.
Callagy's email highlighted that the sheriff's office's budget surplus has plummeted from a $33 million reserve to just $3 million, which is below the required reserve threshold.
Corpus defended her office's budget practices, asserting that the expenses noted were typical for capital projects, pointing out the necessity for the childcare center as employee support.
The childcare center is intended to address workforce issues within the sheriff's office by attracting new recruits and improving employee retention, emphasizing the need for support services.
