Grossnickle said, “To stay competitive and provide quality service, it is imperative we do everything we can to ensure we compensate all of our deputies at a level commensurate with their assigned duties. We also need to invest more in first- and mid-line supervisors as they are the ones managing our day-to-day operations in the field. We have and will continue to reorganize as necessary and feasible to accomplish these goals, and this recent round of promotions is representative of those efforts.”
