                           2007 Supports Services Annual Report  

            In 2007 the Support Services Division full time staffing levels remained the same at sixteen with one resignation and a replacement hired.   Over the summer, two part-time clerks hired in the last half of 2006 resigned in June 2007.  In August, one part-time clerk was hired to assist with data entry and filing.  That clerk started being crossed trained in the Jail Trac work area late in December.  Part-time dispatch has been assigned to the Support Services Division to assist with filing.  An additional part-time clerk to be trained for data entry would be huge benefit to the division.  Overtime is being used to keep the data entry current. 

            A maternity leave started in October through January of 2008.  Three clerks reached tenure in their employment and had their vacation time increased by one week each. 

On March 5, 2007, our new Jail Records Management software went live.  Another Intergraph Public Safety product, it is linked to the records management software as well as CAD that is used in our Communications Center.  The software has master names, vehicle and property records shared by all users.  With the help of the I.T. staff, users continue to learn new features and uses of the software.  It changed some of the procedures in the Jail Records office work area and these procedures continue to be fine tuned.  With the implementation of the new technology software, users are spending more time entering data. 

            Some equipment purchases were made in 2007 to replace aging equipment.   Two new fax machines were purchased to replace older machines located in the front office area and the detective bureau.  Eight original multi-line phones were replaced with new Clear COM multi-line phones.   These new phones are compatible with wireless headsets that will be purchased in 2008. 

            In 2008 we will look to replace single line phones also to be compatible with wireless headsets.  The replacement of copy machines with network compatible copy machines in being looked into which is a cost savings with printers and toners. 

            For staff in 2008, two part-time clerks would greatly benefit the Support Services Division.  In addition to data entry, phones, and reception duties, these persons could be trained to assist in the Civil Division, in Payroll and Billing where work loads continue to increase.
