(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners reviewed the Jail Administrator position with First Sergeant Jeff Frederick this week.  

Sheriff Don Pounds is requesting the Jail Administrator also be a sworn, Nebraska Certified Law Enforcement Officer as it typical in most Sheriffs Offices in Nebraska.  In addition, Sheriff Pounds requested the Jail Administrator be considered and compensated as a Sergeant Officer position and to be given the additional duties to include the jail and dispatch services, Courthouse security and transportation of inmates to and from Court. 

The Board voted unanimously to approved the request.
