Safety as an employer should be a top priority for customers and employees. We, as employees value remaining in the workplace, knowing that we work in a safe environment and that we have security that has an interest in us performing at our best. In speaking that, we would like for Union County to reconsider allowing Union County Sheriff’s Department to monitor the safety of its employees and customers. Moving to a private sector for security protection to stay within a budget should be reconsidered as today's society has faced numerous events of tragedy as related to violence in the workplace and educational settings. Officer Will has gone beyond his call to duty to ensure the safety of staff and community members at Union County DSS. Officer Will can evaluate a situation within seconds and determine the best way to resolve it without conflict. Officer Will also has access to conduct criminal checks to search for the history of individuals who has a criminal history as well as being a threat before a social worker goes into the home to ensure their safety and the safety of children. He is compassionate about his job and the community he serves. On behalf of the staff at Union County DSS, please reconsider the security measure to ensure our staff and customers are working and visiting a safe place without any concerns for safety.
