61 <br /> Detention Center Staffing Analysis Orange County, INC <br /> Detention Center Turnover (FY 19/20 - FY 22/23) <br /> Promoted to <br /> Deputy Sheriff <br /> FY 19/20 5 0 <br /> FY 20/21 3 0 <br /> FY 21/22 5 0 <br /> FY 22/23 4 4 <br /> Average 4.3 1.0 <br /> On average over the past four fiscal years, an average of 4.3 detention staff have left the <br /> Detention Center. Based on the current budgeted position count of 51 detention staff,this <br /> is an average turnover rate of 8.4%. Additionally, the Detention Center has averaged one <br /> individual promoting from a detention officer, corporal, or sergeant to a deputy sheriff. <br /> However, this is skewed by a total of individuals transitioning to law enforcement during <br /> the last fiscal year and this is expected to continue this and next fiscal years. <br /> To account for the impact of turnover in the organization, additional staff positions should <br /> be budgeted. This approach provides a staffing buffer to reduce the time between when <br /> a vacancy occurs and is filled. Typically, we utilize half the historic turnover rate to <br /> determine the additional staffing needs to account for turnover. Therefore, 3 additional <br /> detention officer positions should be authorized to account for turnover and staff who are <br /> in the corrections or law enforcement academies. <br /> A total of 39 detention officer positions (authorized) are recommended. This includes a <br /> total of 31 detention officer positions for the detention center fixed post staffing plan,five <br /> officers for Transport, and three overhire detention officer positions. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> #38: A total of 39 detention officer positions are recommended to operate the Detention <br /> Center and Transport team. This accounts for an overhire of three positions. <br /> (2.4) Summary of Staffing Needs <br /> The following table summarizes the total staffing needs for the Detention Center based <br /> on the operational and staffing recommendations previously presented in this report. <br /> Matrix Consulting Group <br />
