Additional Information
Possess and maintain a class B license with air brake and passenger endorsements.
During my time as a transportation Deputy, I performed Sergeant duties for long periods of time when our unit sergeant was not available. I would oversee the unit daily schedule, scheduling out of county pick-ups or drop offs. I would maintain daily communication with other counties and state hospitals to schedule and arrange IP transports. I would coordinate IP medical appointments to have minimal impact on our unit ability to transport IPs to and from court appearances. Most importantly I would coordinate our weekly prison run in a timely manner giving custody staff plenty of time to complete all essential paperwork for each IP.
