The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department says it will need to lay off almost 80 more deputies than it had anticipated – significantly reducing the department's ability to patrol unincorporated county streets – because of a miscalculation.
Sheriff John McGinness said Friday that he'll need to lay off 209 deputies and 22 non-sworn department employees. That's up from the 130 to 140 deputy layoffs McGinness projected when the Board of Supervisors approved a fiscal 2009-10 budget earlier this month including a $2 billion general fund spending plan.

If he's the head of the department, he probably ended up checking the calculations after someone else did them, and he probably skipped over and signed off on the error regardless. So either way it points to him, calculating and figuring out how many officers to cut I'm sure has to land on his desk for himself to analyze. Either way this isn't getting any safer...

we got too many damn cops anyways. I don't see a thread about all the laid off teachers, closed schools and libraries, music and art programs being slashed. Those are the things that keep people from becoming criminal in the first place.

Because of seniority rules and the deputy union conceding to reduced salaries, however, McGinness said the actual savings are closer to $123,000 per layoff – meaning more layoffs are necessary to erase the deficit.
