Budget Department made recommendations to increase the number of Deputies by 9 in July, Personnel
Services geared up to find 9 strong certified Deputy candidates. Unfortunately, the Carroll County
Commissioners did not choose to add the 9 positions, but had they, Personnel Services made sure the
CCSO would have been able to fill them. Shortly after the beginning of the new fiscal year, 3 of the 9
certified candidates were brought in to fill positions vacated due to attrition.
