RPR 2 1987 aooK E r <br />Therefore I recommend the immediate hiring of the 11 <br />positions so that they may be trained and certified by the <br />July 1987 anticipated opening date for Phase II. <br />The new positions would be: <br />INSIDE SECURITY OFFICER 6 <br />CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR 3 <br />VISITATION and RECREATION 2 <br />OFFICER <br />I <br />During the past few weeks we have narrowly averted sev- <br />eral very dangerous and libelous situations that were potential <br />life threatening to staff members and to prisoners. <br />Without the bonus of 11 Phase II Officers, we would not <br />have been able to control the riots, fire, and malfunctioning <br />doors, much less the fights. <br />On several occasions we're having to pay officers over- <br />time just to conduct recreation time and to prepare for court <br />days when there are large numbers of prisoners being moved. <br />There are times when someone calls in sick, that the <br />staffing is so close that another officer has to be called <br />in to work overtime. <br />It is urgent that we fill these positions immediately, <br />as it takes the Department over two and a half (2 1/2) months <br />to get an officer through CTI School, and we have approximately <br />2 1/2 to 3 months prior to the opening of Phase II. <br />I would classify this as an emergency request. <br />16 <br />
