Sheriff’s Department Starts Petition Drive to Get November Election on Proposed Pay Raise

June 18, 2008 |

Representatives of the Hopkins County Sheriff’s Department have started a petition drive to get a pay referendum before the voting public by November’s election. They want a 15% across the board pay increase. Criminal Investigator Lewis Tatum says this effort is just like a successful one 7 or 8 years ago. Tatum says Sheriff’s employees got no cost of living raise last year, many families have no insurance and the Sheriff’s Department constantly loses deputies to other agencies due to pay issues. 2,175 signatures are needed by August 11.
