The
Operations Division, headed by the Lieutenant Colonel, is
responsible for protecting the safety of inmates, deputies and
visitors of the Richmond City Jail. Efforts to combat tremendous
overcrowding issues and staff shortages facing the Jail are a
never-ending challenge.
For that reason, planning began in Spring 2006 to change deputy
schedules to 12-hour shifts that will improve supervisory
coverage and ensure a smoother transition during shift changes. |
