6/24/14 - It was an easy decision for the Livingston County Board of Commissionerâs Public Safety and Infrastructure & Development Committee to allocate for the hiring of four additional correction deputies. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department says it has been at the minimum required staff for years, and sought the new correction deputies to provide for the planned expansion of the Livingston County Jail. The new hires will aid in the transport of medium and maximum security inmates from the county jail to federal courts in either Detroit or Flint. Itâs part of an agreement to house federal inmates in the expanded jail that will help pay for its operation. County Commissioner Dave Domas tells WHMI that in a best case scenario, the new hires will be brought onto the department in August or September of this year for extensive training that is expected to last into January.
