DISCUSSION:
The access agreement with Half Moon, LLC provides an opportunity for the Sheriff's Office and the county to showcase the great work that is done every day by local law enforcement and correctional staff. The show, "On Patrol-Live", will follow a select number of Deputy Sheriffs as they perform their law enforcement duties throughout the county. Legal waivers will be signed by all participating parties. The contracts and waivers have been approved by County Counsel.
The show is an opportunity to promote what it is like to work in law enforcement in Humboldt County. As the Board is aware, both Deputy Sheriff positions and Correctional Deputy positions are difficult to fill and retain. Now, more than ever, is a difficult time to promote the profession of law enforcement officers. These shows will not only show the good work being done by the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office but also to provide an opportunity for promotion of potential recruitments.
