General Info

PCSO is an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of the Citizens of Pulaski County by providing professional law enforcement services through effective, efficient and proactive police service throughout the County. We are committed to ensuring the operation of an efficient, secure and adequate Regional Detention Facility that serves to support all the law enforcement agencies in the County in our fight against crime and violence, as an effective part of the administration of criminal justice. We are an organization that understands the statutory responsibilities bestowed upon the Sheriff and are dedicated to meet these responsibilities efficiently and effectively. During my tenure, I have worked every day to make this organization better than it was the day before. My administrative staff has more than 180 years of law enforcement experience, most of those in a management or supervisory position. This expertise has allowed us to quickly recognize the needs of the department, to more efficiently serve the people. Above all, we recognize our obligations to the citizens of Pulaski County. When I took office in January 2007, the Detention Center was operating on a budget to house 880 inmates. My staff and I were committed to finding bed space for all violent offenders arrested in Pulaski County, and as many of the non-violent felons as possible. As a result of that commitment, in 2009 the average daily population of the Pulaski County Detention Facility was 1008 inmates. We have been committed to working with the Quorum Court to identify available revenue to increase bed space in the Detention Center. As a result, we have opened an additional 175 beds since January 2009. We are now budgeted for 1055 beds. I intend to continue to advocate for additional beds to manage the "identified" criminal population of Pulaski County. Management skills by my Detention staff, particularly the control of the food and medical budgets along with support of the Quorum Court, have allowed us to increase the jail population. However, I recognize that there is a need for additional jail beds. Those non-violent felons, particularly, drug dealers, burglars, and thieves need to be incarcerated to deter their repeat behavior. We know that these type criminals will continue to commit multiple offenses, thereby adversely impacting the over-all crime rate, unless there is incarceration or threat of possible incarceration. In February 2008, I presented a four-step plan to the Quorum Court, which, upon completion, will bring our available bed space to 1530. This plan calls for: Completion of repairs to the "old" jail to re-habitate 160 beds ( this phase of the plan has been completed ) ;
