You do you do?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You do well? Corrections Deputy Williams, the Shelby County Sheriff's office.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
They are hiring what, Yes, we are hiring, and.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're looking for what kind of folks and what are
you looking for When you say you're hiring, you're hiring
who and for what?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
We're hiring for corrections, Deputy, and we're hiring for people
that wants to help the community, some people that has
that drive to reach out and help people that you know,
less fortunate and you know, and got into some trouble
in their life. And we're looking for people to come
out and you know, to put put it in their applications,
(07:09):
you know, for corrections deputy.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And when let me back up, So when we say
corrections deputy, what does that entael?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So basically, you supervise inmates. You supervise and manage inmates.
So the thing about it is we teach you security,
safety and management of inmates. So you get them to court,
from court to visitation to medical. That's part of your job. Okay,
you feed them and house them. You just make sure
that everything run so smooth in the facility.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So so corrections Deputy Williams, when when you say corrections,
is are they working at the Because I always get
this confused. Downtown facility or out our east facility.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So downtown facility house mostly our male in the facility
in the jail East it houses mostly the females and
some juveniles that's been bound over.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But that and that is part of the sheriff's deputies.
That's part of their duties. Yes, both facilities. Yes, it
is okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
And so when you're.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Saying you're looking for people who want to work with
the community, yes, so talk about it, talk about it, okay.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So basically we're looking for people to have strong more
more values. Okay, You're able to be able to be
in an environment that's not not an area where most
people can do it. You have to have a strong
background with this. We are training on everything you need
(08:55):
to do. We give you twelve weeks of training Monday
through Fridays for twelve weeks from eight to four thirty.
And the starting pay is forty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Yes, that's the starting pay.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
That's starting and then three years you go to fifty
three and then in five years you go to sixty
two thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So say I, for instance, you have a college degree.
If you have a college degree, we pay you seven
point not a college degree, but a bester's degree. They
pay you seven point five percent to your annual salary. Okay,
so that's something that you get as well, plus to
pay vacations and plus you know, annual leave. So if
(09:36):
you go to in service, that's an annual in service
each year and we pay you for those you know,
hours that you do. That it's like a refresher you know,
to bring you up to date on the newest things
that's going on in corrections.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, So I want to go back and at WUT
Williams when you're talking about so when these people they
apply for the job and they give hired, do you
start off at these facilities or you start off in
a patrol car. I guess you would call it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, the thing about it is when you start off,
we take you through twelve weeks of training at the academy. Okay,
so you would be familiar with going to the facility,
but you won't be doing anything, you just be observing.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Doing that twelve weeks of training, we give you CPR,
other things like verbal judo. We give you things that
you may need to you know, manage the inmates and
then after that twelve weeks of training, you graduate, and
then you go to ninety days on the job training
and doing that ninety days on the job training, you're
with another officer and you're learning what you will actually
(10:42):
be doing the whole time.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So definitely, Williams. So, so basically these jobs are you're
going to be in the facilities. You you won't be
maybe riding in a car, you know, doing that. So
basically you're that's our patrol deputy. Patrol deputy, Okay, that's
what I'm asking. Yes, so you won't be a patrol deputy,
you'll be working in the facility, yes, okay, so either
(11:07):
one downtown or jail East. Okay, now can you start
this career? People who apply say only you have a
high school diploma.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
So yes, that's all we exd for is a high
school diploma. You'd be eighteen years of age and then
just smid your application.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
You have to go through a background.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Check and they would do a psychological psychological exam on
you and you know, basically you know, we'll train you
on everything you need to do as a correctious deputy.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Okay. Okay, so that's good, So you can apply right
out out of high school, having that high school diploma.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I had a high school diploma. If you have your
college degree, okay, you can also apply.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, Yes, and I love what you said at the
starting salary forty eight Yes, it is forty eight thousand.
That's good. Yes, Now people who can Okay, we know
you can high school diploma or.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
A college graduate.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
Right and you can even have your GED. Oh, okay,
as long as you have your GED, you still can apply.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Now, are you all looking for people just from the
Memphis area, because I should tell you that if you
when you're being heard all over, or you accepting applications
from folks who may be listening, who may be in
Arkansas or Mississippi.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
Exactly, we.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Accept applications from the surrounding community as well. You don't
have to live here in Shelby County. You can live
outside Shelby Shelby County.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Okay. Now that's a good point. If you are hired
and say you live in Mississippi, you have to move
to Shelby County or state.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
You can stay in Mississippi and he still has just
come to work. Loans is in the you know the
time limit where you can get to work work behind you.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So, folks who are listening who live over.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
In Arkansas, it's definitely you know, our brothers and sisters over.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
There in West Memphis or right down you know, Desda County,
Marshall County. You know we're close there that you can
you can apply for this job if you're hired, and
you can still live in those states.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And the thing about it is, uh, this is not
just a job. This is a career, okay, because get it,
get me straight. This career can take you. I mean,
in three years you can make sergeant and three years
you can go to transportation. Three years you can go
to uh special ops, you know K nine unit, gang unit. Okay,
(13:56):
you know a tender response team. I mean three years,
you can make this career.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I mean, you know, so you can sow what you're
saying to our listeners. I love this that once you're
hired and there for three years, you don't have to
stay at the facilities. You can move up to other
positions in the shelter.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You actually can move up in rank if you want to. Okay, Okay,
there's other places that you can move around in the
sheriff Department.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And and with that moving around, does your salary move up?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
In some cases it does, okay, especially if you apply
for sergeant whatnot, your your salary increases.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It sounds like it's a well I'm saying it sounds
like it's an easy job.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
But I know it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Y'all mean where you said it is not for everybody,
you know what. Everybody can't handle this, that's true.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
How long have you been with them?
Speaker 8 (15:00):
I've been one of them twenty eight years?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Wow, ma'am you're not ready to retire, No, ma'am. Oh
Keby Williams saying I almost still hang around.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Yes, When you love what you do, is that work?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah? And so and like you said, and I get
what you're saying, it's just like me, this is not
a job. It's been a career for me.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
And so when you when you love what you do,
you don't mind doing it.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
You don't mind doing that, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
And we also have a five thousand dollars signing retention
bonus where it's it's the five thousand dollars is given
to you after your first year, so let's added on
to your salary. They give it to you like every
six months to you get like thirteen hundred dollars and
then it goes and incomings so like that. So that's
an extra five thousand dollars added on to their forty
eight thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
But you have to be in good standings though.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Yes, so what does that mean?

at work and come to work on time and be
at work, gotcha, yes, yeah, be on time, show up

One hundred and forty five pounds man walking up and

Speaker 8 (21:19):
So man, that's not necessarily.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You don't have to be big in buff as long
as you are able to be fir, firm, and consistent.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
It's not about your size. It's how you carry yourself.
That's right.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
I understand that. But I believe just an asset is
a big asset we have.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
We have a young lady this there, she's probably about
eighty five pounds, and wow, she runs a dormitory better
than some men do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So you know, yeah, size of better.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Yeah, yes, I'm just just an observation. Why But like
I said, give an asset, all right? You talk to
you all and all the workers, and I hope you
get some recruits. What out here it is badly needed?

Speaker 8 (22:12):
We need some help, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
All right, keep up the good work. Thank you, welcome,
bye bye bye bye.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
W d I a high caller.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
Job, hey, Clyde, and how your kids doing a right?
Speaker 8 (22:29):
How you doing Clyde?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
All right?
Speaker 10 (22:31):
But I just want to know two questions.
Speaker 12 (22:33):
I want to know what was the age limit that
you start that you can start out and can you
have a feeling.
Speaker 13 (22:40):
It or not to do that job?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Good questions, Clyde Good questions, Clyde, thank you, Clyde Good questions.
I wants to know the age limit. Age limit is
eighteen and over.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
As long as you're eighteen to have a high school
diploma or you know, a college graduate or whatever you
know or ge, you're able to apply for this position.
But unfortunately with a feeling that you are not able
to because you'll be working for the sheriff office, so.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
You're not able to apply.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
No. Okay, hey, Frank, are you doing I'm doing well today,
Frank yourself.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I'm doing all right.
Speaker 14 (23:20):
I'm doing all right. I agree with the young ladies
that they should be paid, you know, if they wouldn't
have paid them the right way, But it's the system.
The system allow people to put their lives in danger
(23:41):
because they don't care. But also they can use them
as well. That's why we have so much call up
because they're not getting paid enough to put their lives
in danger and the system knows this. And it's both
said that they depend on these people with their lives
(24:05):
and then they'll get somebody to run up and down
the football field and that playing games and give them
two and three eight million up and down the court.
And here's these people risking their lives to keep them safe,
but they don't care people.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
It's sad that we need to wake up and demand
that's what a routing, routing need to be and the
people that's protecting us, we need to really be focused
on them.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Frank, do you have a specific question for Deputy Williams.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am. When are you all.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
Is gonna just clean house, spark press and demand that
these new recruits get paid. That's what really have to happen.
To get a beautiful.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Start, you need a pay raise with a new start
and a new training.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Letting them know that she you well, I think, Frank,
I think w even said if you if you missed it,
that they give him good training and they have a
good starting salary.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Now, yes, I mean the more.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
The more, the more of the money, the more of
people is being lawful to the job. And that's been
pretty much what we're dinning.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
We have to deal with the truth to correct ourselves.
We can't be in denied.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, I know and deny, but I love what he said, Frank,
that they you know, they get a five thousand dollars
signing bonus. You know, some jobs on off of that,
and I know it's a dangerous job, but.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
That's the good.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Why can't it be ten?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Commission Frank, let me tell you, Deputy Williams say, you
have to talk. That's the county commissioners. They set the salary.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Talk to them.
Speaker 14 (26:08):
We all got to talk one person.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
We all got to talk that protector, not twenty You
get a man twenty million to run up and down
the court. It's the same system, okay. And then the
person that's protecting you, you got the limited out.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, thank well, I'm gonna be with you. We're gonna
talk to those county commissioners, all right, thank you, Frank
wad say it's not up to you. It's the county
commissioners that set the salary. Indeed, yeah, w d I
a unforgetful.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Hey, thank you, Mischelle, Yes, but will you I did
not shoot the sure.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, don't shoot the either, though, all right, you want to.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
I do want to ask some tough questions. I hope
you can answer them personally. Okay, you did twenty eight year, right, yes, sir,
tell me about your retirement when you retire.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yes, so at twenty five years, I've opted into where
I can retire after twenty five years and I get
a pension.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Okay, that's great.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
So if someone want to make this career out of something,
they will get a pension.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Well, the thing about it is when I signed up
for it, that was twenty five years ago, so I
can get a pinsion. So now I can retire it
either fifty five or I could if I got twenty
five years.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
But now it's the.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
People going now will not get a pension.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Well, they will get a pension, but it's a little longer.
They have to stay a little longer than I did.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
I mean, Oh.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
Okay, yeah, like I say, maybe another boy nine ten years.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Okay, next question.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
Hey, now these is a hard question there, johnsy.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, Well we're waiting for him.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
You know you heard about New Orleans breakdown there, right, Yes,
And I was just wondering what kind of system y'all
got there for Debu Day. That's honest and decent and
everything because I know they arrested a lot of people
in the system down there in New Orleans. A healthy
fields and break. Y'all have a in general?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And what do you call.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
Good?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, we know what you're asking. That's a good little question. Okay,
your deputy Williams.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
So you got to understand you have good and bad
wherever you go. Uh, you could be a school team teacher.

one of his supervisors.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yes, Okay, that's the only way you can do that.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
Yes, he can report it. That's the best thing to
do is to report.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
If you see somebody doing something wrong and you know
that's not part of part of our policies or procedures,
then you want to try to say, hey, look I
got one guy. He did something that I saw that

Speaker 3 (32:17):
With our physical agility test, it's been postponed because we're
trying to get people in to apply because most of
the time when people look at physical agility tests and
they said, well, I ain't gonna baby do that. I
can't do a push up, right, So we postponed that
and you won't have to worry about that part, you know.

Speaker 8 (37:22):
So it's not an age limit cap on that.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
We have an officer that's I think he's like, uh,
I think it's about eighty years old.
Speaker 8 (37:32):

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Walked out of a magazine, I mean uniform press earned,
you know, everyday boot shine. And I'm telling you it's

you know, to try to help others, then.
Speaker 8 (37:56):
This is position for you.

Okay, that sounds good because I'm senior citizen, but i'm military.
Speaker 8 (38:03):

Speaker 7 (38:07):

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Linda? Say you ready? You ready?
Speaker 12 (38:17):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (38:18):

Speaker 2 (38:19):

four three zero and the website is ww dot s
c s O Careers with the nest dot com and
submit your application.
Speaker 10 (38:34):

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Thank you, thank you, Bye bye, Hi Golden girl.
Speaker 10 (38:42):
Bye.
Speaker 9 (38:43):
How you guys doing well? Almost afternoon? She asked, my question,
it's going to be my seniors and grandma, So yes,
you do so want it?
Speaker 8 (38:58):
No, it's not.
Speaker 9 (39:01):
Okay, great, And my next question is what would eliminate
someone from the training. You said the training is ninety day,
so what would eliminate them that they would make it
through the training.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
So the training is twelve weeks, you get twelve weeks
of training at the academy, then you go to ninety
days on the job training. So some of the things
you know that make you know attendance. So if you're
not at work, we can't use you. You know, we
need you to be at work because you're showing us that, Hey,
I'm persistent about this. I want this job, i want
(39:35):
this career, and that's what I'm gonna be. I'm gonna
be here every day on time, not on time, but
I'm gonna be there before time. And then I'm gonna
be ready to you know, to work. So one of
the things that is not being at work, they could disqualify.
Speaker 9 (39:52):
That's that's forward any job, really, right, Okay, something to
do for a young person. Okay, So my next question
is after the training and your only job for the
ninety days is the training is inter position inside the
jail system or can you be a patrol man out
(40:12):
of training? It's a patrolman position or is that like
a rate like a what you came on it?
Speaker 3 (40:19):
So, so basically, if you're in the recruit class and
you say, hey, I think I want to apply for.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
A patrol deputy, We'll let you apply for it.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Let you go out and you know, do the physical
agility test, because they have an agility test for them.
And what they would do is we will let you
leave class and go and do what you need to
do for them, Say for instran you're doing the ritten test,
We'll let you leave and go do the ridden test
and you know it won't count against you. And then
(40:48):
if you get that position, then you would leave you
know the corrections deputy and then move over to patrol.
Speaker 8 (40:56):
It's really a way to get your foot in the door.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
If you want to go patrol, if you want to
do something different. You know this, this is a career
for you.
Speaker 9 (41:06):
Okay, So you just basically have to qualify for the
position that you want.

Speaker 8 (06:31):
Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
You do you do?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You do well? Corrections Deputy Williams, the Shelby County Sheriff's office.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
They are hiring what, Yes, we are hiring, and.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're looking for what kind of folks and what are
you looking for When you say you're hiring, you're hiring
who and for what?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
We're hiring for corrections, Deputy, and we're hiring for people
that wants to help the community, some people that has
that drive to reach out and help people that you know,
less fortunate and you know, and got into some trouble
in their life. And we're looking for people to come
out and you know, to put put it in their applications,
(07:09):
you know, for corrections deputy.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And when let me back up, So when we say
corrections deputy, what does that entael?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So basically, you supervise inmates. You supervise and manage inmates.
So the thing about it is we teach you security,
safety and management of inmates. So you get them to court,
from court to visitation to medical. That's part of your job. Okay,
you feed them and house them. You just make sure
that everything run so smooth in the facility.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So so corrections Deputy Williams, when when you say corrections,
is are they working at the Because I always get
this confused. Downtown facility or out our east facility.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So downtown facility house mostly our male in the facility
in the jail East it houses mostly the females and
some juveniles that's been bound over.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But that and that is part of the sheriff's deputies.
That's part of their duties. Yes, both facilities. Yes, it
is okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
And so when you're.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Saying you're looking for people who want to work with
the community, yes, so talk about it, talk about it, okay.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So basically we're looking for people to have strong more
more values. Okay, You're able to be able to be
in an environment that's not not an area where most
people can do it. You have to have a strong
background with this. We are training on everything you need
(08:55):
to do. We give you twelve weeks of training Monday
through Fridays for twelve weeks from eight to four thirty.
And the starting pay is forty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Yes, that's the starting pay.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
That's starting and then three years you go to fifty
three and then in five years you go to sixty
two thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So say I, for instance, you have a college degree.
If you have a college degree, we pay you seven
point not a college degree, but a bester's degree. They
pay you seven point five percent to your annual salary. Okay,
so that's something that you get as well, plus to
pay vacations and plus you know, annual leave. So if
(09:36):
you go to in service, that's an annual in service
each year and we pay you for those you know,
hours that you do. That it's like a refresher you know,
to bring you up to date on the newest things
that's going on in corrections.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, So I want to go back and at WUT
Williams when you're talking about so when these people they
apply for the job and they give hired, do you
start off at these facilities or you start off in
a patrol car. I guess you would call it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, the thing about it is when you start off,
we take you through twelve weeks of training at the academy. Okay,
so you would be familiar with going to the facility,
but you won't be doing anything, you just be observing.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Doing that twelve weeks of training, we give you CPR,
other things like verbal judo. We give you things that
you may need to you know, manage the inmates and
then after that twelve weeks of training, you graduate, and
then you go to ninety days on the job training
and doing that ninety days on the job training, you're
with another officer and you're learning what you will actually
(10:42):
be doing the whole time.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So definitely, Williams. So, so basically these jobs are you're
going to be in the facilities. You you won't be
maybe riding in a car, you know, doing that. So
basically you're that's our patrol deputy. Patrol deputy, Okay, that's
what I'm asking. Yes, so you won't be a patrol deputy,
you'll be working in the facility, yes, okay, so either
(11:07):
one downtown or jail East. Okay, now can you start
this career? People who apply say only you have a
high school diploma.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
One hundred and forty five pounds man walking up and
the criminals d I mean, I don't mean to be
putting nobody down, but it's not necessarily.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
So man, that's not necessarily.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You don't have to be big in buff as long
as you are able to be fir, firm, and consistent.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
It's not about your size. It's how you carry yourself.
That's right.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
I understand that. But I believe just an asset is
a big asset we have.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
We have a young lady this there, she's probably about
eighty five pounds, and wow, she runs a dormitory better
than some men do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So you know, yeah, size of better.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Yeah, yes, I'm just just an observation. Why But like
I said, give an asset, all right? You talk to
you all and all the workers, and I hope you
get some recruits. What out here it is badly needed?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Is bad?
Speaker 8 (22:12):
We need some help, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
All right, keep up the good work. Thank you, welcome,
bye bye bye bye.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
W d I a high caller.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
Job, hey, Clyde, and how your kids doing a right?
Speaker 8 (22:29):
How you doing Clyde?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
All right?
Speaker 10 (22:31):
But I just want to know two questions.
Speaker 12 (22:33):
I want to know what was the age limit that
you start that you can start out and can you
have a feeling.
Speaker 13 (22:40):
It or not to do that job?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Good questions, Clyde Good questions, Clyde, thank you, Clyde Good questions.
I wants to know the age limit. Age limit is
eighteen and over.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
As long as you're eighteen to have a high school
diploma or you know, a college graduate or whatever you
know or ge, you're able to apply for this position.
But unfortunately with a feeling that you are not able
to because you'll be working for the sheriff office, so.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
You're not able to apply.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
No. Okay, hey, Frank, are you doing I'm doing well today,
Frank yourself.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I'm doing all right.
Speaker 14 (23:20):
I'm doing all right. I agree with the young ladies
that they should be paid, you know, if they wouldn't
have paid them the right way, But it's the system.
The system allow people to put their lives in danger
(23:41):
because they don't care. But also they can use them
as well. That's why we have so much call up
because they're not getting paid enough to put their lives
in danger and the system knows this. And it's both
said that they depend on these people with their lives
(24:05):
and then they'll get somebody to run up and down
the football field and that playing games and give them
two and three eight million up and down the court.
And here's these people risking their lives to keep them safe,
but they don't care people.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
It's sad that we need to wake up and demand
that's what a routing, routing need to be and the
people that's protecting us, we need to really be focused
on them.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Frank, do you have a specific question for Deputy Williams.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am. When are you all.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
Is gonna just clean house, spark press and demand that
these new recruits get paid. That's what really have to happen.
To get a beautiful.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Start, you need a pay raise with a new start
and a new training.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Letting them know that she you well, I think, Frank,
I think w even said if you if you missed it,
that they give him good training and they have a
good starting salary.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Now, yes, I mean the more.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
The more, the more of the money, the more of
people is being lawful to the job. And that's been
pretty much what we're dinning.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
We have to deal with the truth to correct ourselves.
We can't be in denied.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, I know and deny, but I love what he said, Frank,
that they you know, they get a five thousand dollars
signing bonus. You know, some jobs on off of that,
and I know it's a dangerous job, but.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
That's the good.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Why can't it be ten?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Commission Frank, let me tell you, Deputy Williams say, you
have to talk. That's the county commissioners. They set the salary.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Talk to them.
Speaker 14 (26:08):
We all got to talk one person.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
We all got to talk that protector, not twenty You
get a man twenty million to run up and down
the court. It's the same system, okay. And then the
person that's protecting you, you got the limited out.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, thank well, I'm gonna be with you. We're gonna
talk to those county commissioners, all right, thank you, Frank
wad say it's not up to you. It's the county
commissioners that set the salary. Indeed, yeah, w d I
a unforgetful.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Hey, thank you, Mischelle, Yes, but will you I did
not shoot the sure.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, don't shoot the either, though, all right, you want to.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
I do want to ask some tough questions. I hope
you can answer them personally. Okay, you did twenty eight year, right, yes, sir,
tell me about your retirement when you retire.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yes, so at twenty five years, I've opted into where
I can retire after twenty five years and I get
a pension.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Okay, that's great.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
So if someone want to make this career out of something,
they will get a pension.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Well, the thing about it is when I signed up
for it, that was twenty five years ago, so I
can get a pinsion. So now I can retire it
either fifty five or I could if I got twenty
five years.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
But now it's the.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
People going now will not get a pension.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Well, they will get a pension, but it's a little longer.
They have to stay a little longer than I did.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
I mean, Oh.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
Okay, yeah, like I say, maybe another boy nine ten years.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Okay, next question.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
Hey, now these is a hard question there, johnsy.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, Well we're waiting for him.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
You know you heard about New Orleans breakdown there, right, Yes,
And I was just wondering what kind of system y'all
got there for Debu Day. That's honest and decent and
everything because I know they arrested a lot of people
in the system down there in New Orleans. A healthy
fields and break. Y'all have a in general?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And what do you call.
Speaker 10 (28:40):

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, we know what you're asking. That's a good little question. Okay,
your deputy Williams.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
So you got to understand you have good and bad
wherever you go. Uh, you could be a school team teacher.
You have good school teachers, you have bad school teachers.
That's just the world. So you know, we try to
do the best job that we possibly can because we're
trying to serve the community and take care of our
families as well.
Speaker 10 (29:07):
Okay, when you open up the show, you said that
when you go through the training, yes, you're gonna be
put with some old school that's already there. Let's say
he corrupt. What a chance to do a person to
have if he knows he's to rupt, who could he
go to the an idea or what you guy, ain't
(29:29):
turn to files or something? What can you do?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
So he can report that person to his sergeant, or
he can report it to a lieutenant captain or whatnot,
you know, or he can you know, report it to
one of his supervisors.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yes, Okay, that's the only way you can do that.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
Yes, he can report it. That's the best thing to
do is to report.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
If you see somebody doing something wrong and you know
that's not part of part of our policies or procedures,
then you want to try to say, hey, look I
got one guy. He did something that I saw that
didn't look at ethical, so you know, and then we'll
take it from there.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
All right. I forget for a good yeah, good question.

Speaker 8 (38:58):
No, it's not.
Speaker 9 (39:01):
Okay, great, And my next question is what would eliminate
someone from the training. You said the training is ninety day,
so what would eliminate them that they would make it
through the training.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
So the training is twelve weeks, you get twelve weeks
of training at the academy, then you go to ninety
days on the job training. So some of the things
you know that make you know attendance. So if you're
not at work, we can't use you. You know, we
need you to be at work because you're showing us that, Hey,
I'm persistent about this. I want this job, i want
(39:35):
this career, and that's what I'm gonna be. I'm gonna
be here every day on time, not on time, but
I'm gonna be there before time. And then I'm gonna
be ready to you know, to work. So one of
the things that is not being at work, they could disqualify.
Speaker 9 (39:52):
That's that's forward any job, really, right, Okay, something to
do for a young person. Okay, So my next question
is after the training and your only job for the
ninety days is the training is inter position inside the
jail system or can you be a patrol man out
(40:12):
of training? It's a patrolman position or is that like
a rate like a what you came on it?
Speaker 3 (40:19):
So, so basically, if you're in the recruit class and
you say, hey, I think I want to apply for.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
A patrol deputy, We'll let you apply for it.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Let you go out and you know, do the physical
agility test, because they have an agility test for them.
And what they would do is we will let you
leave class and go and do what you need to
do for them, Say for instran you're doing the ritten test,
We'll let you leave and go do the ridden test
and you know it won't count against you. And then
(40:48):
if you get that position, then you would leave you
know the corrections deputy and then move over to patrol.

do something different. You know this, this is a career
