Topic: Letter of The Law / low bails

Recently our head municipal judge passed a resolution that would allow all local law enforcement to ROR anyone with municipal warrants of 250.00 or less. This was initiated to help with the overcrowding. We still have johnny law bringing in guys with 250.00 bails and subsequently we have to do their bails. We are told to just take the inmate and we do the work that the cops don’t want to. Do any of your facilities have a limit on what you will accept $ wise on commitments.

Topic: The Club House / disabilty benefits in contract

I am new to this site. I am wondering if anyone has in their current contracts a section on disability benefits. Our contract as it stands now is that we are only entitled to a max of 5 yrs of medical benefits if we are removed from work on a permanent disability. For example if an officer in his 24th year of service is working the tier and is taken out by sum low-life inmate and can never work again our county will only pick up his medical benes for 5yrs. thats it. I am on my contract committee and i am trying to see if anyone has a similar situation. Or how many contracts offer lifetime benefits for those officers who go out on permanent disability. If your contract does give lifetime benes does it stipulate whether it is an ordinary or accidental disability. Ordinary meaning that you slip on some water in the hallway and wrench your back or your knee goes out and now you cannot work to your max potential. Accidental meaning you get a shank to the back or you are transporting an inmate in a vehicle and you are sideswiped and cannot work as a C/O no more. I appreciate any insight in this matter.
