“With the manpower we have now, it will be very difficult to schedule three eight-hour shifts,” said Woodward, pointing out that staffing is controlled by the State Compensation Board which pays law enforcement salaries. “I’m not going to stand here and tell you I’m going to work 15, 16 hours a day. I have a family. I'm going to give the job the hours it takes to get the work done but I’m also going to spend time at home and the deputies deserve time off just like everyone else.”
“I don’t see any opportunity for the dispatcher/jailer to do any road time,” Woodward continued. “They’re going to be full-time at the jail. Even now, we always have somebody, even with the judges knowing we don’t have any place to put them.”
Wittl said he, too, plans to work an eight-hour day if elected. “But I would respond to emergencies at night whenever a call comes in.”
He maintained, however, that shifts can be arranged with the present staff of three full time and twTo part time deputies to cover night hours. The part time staff could fill in on weekends so full time deputies could take their time off then. “No morale problems,” Woodward maintained. “And I don’t see why one deputy couldn’t be an investigator. That wrould improve our clearance rate.”
Orfila was asked if he favored a public firing range at the Blue Ridge Gun Shop in Amissville.
Plans call for the range to be a private, NRA sanctioned range that would be open to law enforcement personnel and to the public under special arrangements, according to Orfila.
