Gilbertson said that Records personnel will con- tinue to provide the best ser- vice possible within their limited hours. The reduction in hours could mean longer lines at the front counter; and additional time “on hold” to report incidents such as thefts, runaways, criminal mischief, suspicious inci- dents, and harassment, the sheriff said. Last year, Records staff answered approximately 50,000 telephone calls. “We will have a back- log in processing paper- work,” said Gilbertson, “but the main priority for the Re- cords Division will remain warrant processing and as- sisting the Patrol Division.” Due to a shortage in personnel the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office has reduced the hours the Re- cords Division is open for nonemergency calls. This does not affect 911 Emergency calls, which is always available 24-hours- a-day, said Sheriff Gil Gilbertson. As of Sunday, March 11, the Records Division is open Mondays through Fri- days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The reduction in hours is a direct result of the pend- ing loss of O&C funds, said the sheriff. He added that some employees are leaving Jose- phine County for jobs else- where because of the com- ing loss of federal monies that will affect the county Prearranged package offer good through December 31, 2006.
