San Diego County Sheriff’s Office deputies will no longer be forced to work overtime shifts.
The change, announced by Sheriff Kelly Martinez on Thursday, takes effect Friday, Aug. 23.
The sheriff’s office had been under a mandatory overtime directive to meet minimum staffing requirements for the past several years.
The directive was in place partly because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as general staffing shortages due to retirements and resignations, the sheriff’s office stated.
