1. Sheriff’s Department

a. Create Millage Supported SURE Program Coordinator Position

- To create a 1.0 FTE SURE Program Coordinator position

- In 2016, the Sheriff’s Office and Trial Court, through collaboration, created the SURE program
- SURE stands for “Sisters United, Resilient and Empowered”
- The main focus of this program is families with children who are involved in the juvenile justice system and aims to help those families navigate the system and reduce the likelihood of future involvement with the courts
- The past and continued successes of the program show the need to expand to better serve the community

- Currently the SURE program is facilitated by a part time employee who serves 10 to 15 mothers. On average, each participating mother has 3 children
- This proposed expansion would create one full-time employee and increase the number of participating families up to a maximum of 60 mothers and upwards of 180 children.
- Additionally, the expansion will enable the deployment of neighborhood based groups versus one centrally located group.
- Through use of the 2017 mental health and police services millage, the Sheriff’s Office has been working to formalize re-entry and diversion services for community members
- The proposed SURE expansion is an integral part of the overall diversion plan of the Sheriff’s Office

- Create the following 1.0 FTE:
- 1.0 FTE SURE Mom Group Coordinator
- Group 8100, Grade 28
- Salary Range: $43,027- $61,671

- There will be no impact on the County General Fund. The funds needed to create and sustain the SURE Program Coordinator position will come from the Police Services Millage funds and the Trial Court’s Child Care Fund 
- Additional financial support may be acquired from WISD

- As part of the diversion and re-entry effort, there will be increased responsibility and demands on the Police Services command structure to ensure operational needs and support are met

- The Police Services Captain will provide administrative, supervisory, and operational support to the Police Services Commander enabling the Commander to take on more responsibility around the diversion and re-entry initiative
