Agency Issues Regarding Personnel

  • As an agency of over 2500 sworn and

civilian employees, we are a microcosm of society.

Agency Issues Regarding Personnel (SEAT)

  • A number of our employees have faced a

myriad of personal crises for which financial assistance was available through

  • ur Sheriff’s Employee Assistance Trust

(SEAT) fund.

  • The SEAT program serves all Orange

County Sheriff’s Office employees as well as qualified officers from other law enforcement agencies in Orange County.

slide-6

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

  • In 2012, we had 308 agency vehicle crashes, 41

with injuries.

  • In 2013, we had 316 agency vehicle crashes, 22

with injuries.

  • In 2014, we had 336 agency vehicle crashes, 22

with injuries.

  • 0% change in accidents with injuries from 2013 to

2014.

  • 6% increase in the number of accidents from 2013

to 2014.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

In 2013, we began to follow the Below 100 Program, an initiative to reduce police line of duty deaths below 100 for a year. The Below 100 initiative is based on five core tenets:

  • Wear your belt.
  • Wear your vest.
  • Watch your speed.
  • WIN (What’s Important Now?)
  • Complacency Kills.
slide-12
SLIDE 12

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

  • We have made great strides in our Below

100 efforts, but still have more to do.

  • We continue to pursue new and innovative

training measures.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

  • According to data from the NLEOM, 126
  • fficers died in the line of duty in 2014, a

19 % increase from 2013 when the number was 102.

  • We must constantly try to reduce this

number through training, preparation, and proper decision-making.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

  • The breakdown for deaths in 2014 is as follows:
  • 49 – Traffic Fatalities (8.7% increase from 2013).
  • 50 – Firearms Related Fatalities (56% increase

from 2013).

  • 27 – Died of other causes (Job related illnesses

such as heart attacks, nearly doubled in 2014 with 24 officer deaths compared to 13 officers in 2013)

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Agency Related Accidents and Line of Duty Deaths

  • We must recognize the repercussions from
  • ur actions or inactions.
  • In everything we do there is a Risk versus

Reward standard:

  • Speeding/Driving/Code 3 Response
  • Not wearing Body Armor versus wearing it
  • Does the Risk outweigh the Reward?

Labor Relations

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Labor Relations

The FOP and I were able to negotiate a three year contract with the Board of Orange County Commissioners through September 30, 2017.

  • For Fiscal Years 2014/15 and 2015/16,

bargaining unit members will advance one step in their pay plans and those who are topped out in their pay plan will receive a 3% lump sum payment in lieu of advancing a step.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Labor Relations

  • For Fiscal Years 2016/17, I have secured

funding from the Board of County Commissioners through my annual budget request for the final year of the contract for bargaining unit members to receive the same benefits as the previous two years.

you should do.
