FEEDBACK
Staffing shortages, rising overtime costs, and increasing operational demands are challenges facing jails across the country. This presentation will provide sheriffs and jail administrators with a practical overview of how a professional staffing analysis can identify structural inefficiencies, optimize post-deployment, and improve workforce stability without compromising safety.
Drawing on real-world correctional assessments conducted in large state systems and county jails, this session will highlight proven methodologies for evaluating posts, validating staffing levels, and aligning staffing patterns with actual operational needs. Participants will learn how agencies have used staffing analysis to reduce unnecessary overtime, improve shift coverage, strengthen supervision, and support long-term workforce planning.
The session will also discuss common hidden drivers of overtime and staffing stress and provide practical steps sheriffs can take to begin evaluating their own staffing structures.
