Starke County Commissioners Review Job Description for Jail Employee

Starke County Sheriff Bill Dulin presented the county commissioners with a proposed job description for an employee at the Starke County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff previously explained that he hired Ron Lawson as a part-time jailer but he doesn’t necessarily do the duties of a jailer. He hired him in that position because the wage was at a higher rate. Lawson has 34 years of law enforcement experience and the sheriff believed that Lawson should be paid a higher wage because of his experience.

The Starke County Council members urged Sheriff Dulin to make a job description for the duties that Lawson would be conducting for review by the commissioners.

The commissioners Monday night reviewed the job description of a jail analyst at a rate of pay of no more than $14 an hour. A summary of the duties entail providing the sheriff, administrative staff, detectives, and county executives with information for decision making purposes; develop statistical data and assist in proactive and targeted investigations; interact and communicate with the sheriff and the community on crime analysis and research issues; collect and organize criminal information from all available sources and collect intel to determine crime patterns; and case support.

The jail analyst will not be out on patrol.

The commissioners unanimously approved the job description.
