2. The cost of feeding the inmates was $15,664 over budget, but the cost was offset by the revenue received from other counties and the Arkansas Department of Corrections for housing their prisoners ($28.00 per day).
3. An audit of the Detention Center was conducted in 2009 by the Criminal Detention Facilities Review Committee.The Detention Center was in compliance in 74 out of 75 sections being reviewed.We were out of compliance in one area because four new-hires had not received their jail standards training.We have one class per year for new-hires because new-hires are required to receive the training, which is five days, within a year of being hired.
4. The Facility Review Committee stated “this facility is in very good shape.Clean and well maintained.”
5. The Arkansas Crime Information Center also conducted an audit in 2009 which can result in fines and penalties if policies and procedures are not followed.The comments by the auditors were “This was a very easy audit for the auditor.I contacted the TAC, Regina Donahue, and the audit went very smoothly.The records are in great shape and organized in such a fashion that this auditor simply asked and received the offense report necessary within a very few seconds.The county can be very proud of the very professional attitude shown by the personnel at the jail.All of the personnel were outstanding.All were courteous to every individual they came in contact with.Inmates as well and civilians were treated with respect.This was a very good audit.They can all be proud of a job well done.”

I helped to work a Bad Truck wreck on hwy 412, There was turkey coops, Turkeys everywhere. lots of people there to cleanup this mess. there was folks Like myself that had not been to bed yet when we got the call. we are doing our very best in a safe manner to clean up the Accident site. Their was wreckers, farm tractors trucks to recover parts from the wreck, pickup dead and live turkeys from the roadway. CCSO was on the scene to help with traffic control which was a lifesaver on such a busy Highway. We've been there for 11 Hour when an officer with ccso showed up and was mad because his people had be out there so long. he was saying we could of hired some people to do this work. My point to this story is, in my mind is that The police are to protect and serve. Without the presents of the officers and there units with there lights it would of been trouble. and maybe someone hit and killed. I don't think it was appropriate for this officer to act this way. in general i think the CCSO does a very good job for our county. i just had to speak my mind on this subject. we all was very tired before the scene was cleaned up.
Comment by anonymous on 2010-03-04 16:15:09 It was not a CCSO accident, it was the State Police. According to the State Police the wrecker service is required to provide traffic control after a certain amount of time. That is what the State Police requires. They should have been contacted since they were in charge of the accident.
