Group Supervisor Assignment Preference

June 5, 2019

Lauren Espino, President

Probation and Detention Association

Dear Ms. Espino,

The Probation Department plans to study coverage of shifts by Institution Services Managers (ISM’s).

The Department commits to schedule at least one ISM or alternate manager to work on site at the Youth Services Center (YSC) campus at all times. The Department will endeavor to schedule one ISM or alternate manager to work at each worksite (YSC and Camp Kemp). For Camps, this will be during day shift hours only.

The Department will only use Officer of the Day to cover:

1) Unplanned ISM absences of less than one week, and

2) Partial or full shifts due to ISM attendance at meetings, trainings, or unforeseen circumstances.

3) Partial and full shifts at Camps when an ISM is not scheduled.

If there is an ISM in the building, they are expected to relieve the Officer of the Day, unless an urgent issue requires the ISM’s attention.

Any concerns with respect to the use of Officers of the Day should be brought to my attention as they arise.

Sincerely,

Chief John Keene

Probation Department
