ERVICES
THE FISCAL
DIVISION
SUPPORTS
all areas of accounting for the
Sheriff’s Office, including budgeting,
monthly and quarterly financial reporting,
grant reporting, accounts payable/
receivable, and purchasing. The division
consists of an accounting manager, two
accountants, two administrative
services officers, an accounting technician,
and one senior account clerk.
The Sheriff’s Office budget for Fiscal
Year 2019–20 was $81 million, with $31
million of the budget being obtained
from various sources and $50 million
received from General Fund support.
During Fiscal Year 2019–20, Fiscal
Services was part of implementing
a new accounting software for the
inmate monies, commissary,
telephone, and video visitation. The
new banking system allows money
to be placed on an inmate’s account
by friends and family at the jail
facility, as well as online. These
new systems also give inmates
access to real-time balances for
commissary ordering and instant
phone/video time purchases.
FINALLY, THE FISCAL
SERVICES DIVISION WILL
CONTINUE TO INVOLVE
MANAGEMENT IN THE
BUDGET PROCESS FOR
EACH OF THE FOUR
DIVISIONS. WE WILL
ALSO CONTINUE TO
WORK ON ACQUIRING
NEW GRANTS AND
FUNDING
OPPORTUNITIES.
