Klickitat County Jail Dealing With Vacancies

Klickitat County’s Department of Corrections is dealing with a personnel crunch.  Already with two full-time vacancies, Department Director Bill Frantz told the County Commission on Tuesday he is losing another to a year-long military leave.  Frantz says he is working to fill the positions, and may have to recruit casual, or part-time, corrections officers to bridge the gap, and also to attempt to encourage them to consider a full-time position.  Frantz says the vacancies leaves them down a full shift.  He says officers are working a lot of overtime, not calling in sick unless they are very ill, and doing everything he can ask of them to get through the situation.
