The Pima County Sheriff's Department is expected to be around $3.3 million over budget for the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year. Here's a breakdown of why expenses are up.
That ended in June, and the Pima County Board of Supervisors voted in two different meetings to fully cover the overage.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told KGUN9 that's because the department is understaffed, but they still need to work those positions because lives are on the line, whether that's jail staff watching over inmates and bringing them food or deputies responding to 911 calls. "There is no good overtime," Sheriff Nanos said."Forcing people to work late — making them come into work and knowing they can't get off at their scheduled hour and they got to stay another shift is not good."That is primarily because of inflation, which has driven up the cost of food.Law enforcement supplies are expected to be $400,000 over the budgeted $650,000.
