Merit Commission
The merit commission ensures a fair and equal opportunity system
for the employment, promotion, discipline and discharge of
full-time Deputy Sheriffs and merited rank positions. Merited ranks
in the Sheriff's Office are Major, Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant
and Deputy Sheriff.
The commission is comprised of five volunteer commissioners,
each serving a minimum two-year term. There are three officer
positions within the commission: Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary.
Officers are elected by simple majority vote of the
commissioners.
Meetings are open to the public and held on the second Thursday
of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the County Administration Building,
667 Ware Rd, Woodstock, next to the Government Center. The
Chairperson may call special meetings as necessary.
