Currently, the BCSO has 41 vehicles that have over 200,000 road miles. Thirty three of these vehicles remain in use in some capacity. The total BCSO fleet comprises 138 usable vehicles assigned to one of 5 divisions. Some of these vehicles are special use vehicles such as undercover cars, military surplus 4 X4’s for off road use and in snow, motorcycles, command post, maintenance vehicles, wrecker, two four wheelers and a boat. Comparing the BCSO with nationally published statistics through the U.S. Department of Justice , the size of the BCSO fleet is in-line with other agencies of similar size and responsibility. The Drug Fund was used to purchase 38 vehicles in the fleet at no cost to tax-payers. The number of vehicles currently in use at the BCSO is less than the number I inherited when I took office last September, saving the taxpayers money. All vehicles that are not in use that have over 200,000 miles have generally been stripped for parts and are scheduled for disposal at the June 30th auction . This sale is not expected to generate any significant revenue as the condition of these vehicles is generally very poor.
Of the 33 vehicles in use that have over 200,000 road miles they are assigned to the following divisions:
Patrol Division – 21 vehicles
Training, Professional Development and Support Services Division – 1 vehicle
Criminal Investigations Division – 1 vehicle
Judicial Services Division – 7 vehicles
Corrections Division – 3 Vehicles
The BCSO has an additional 22 vehicles that have over 150,000 miles on them and a number of other vehicles are approaching the 150,000 mile mark. All identifiable industry standards/publications recommend replacing law enforcement vehicles between 70,000 and 150,000 miles.

Suspect faces rape, solicitation charges  Bradley County Sheriff’s detectives this week arrested 18 year-old Zachery Lee Caldwell II after he was named on an indictment handed down by a Bradley County Grand Jury.
Caldwell turned himself in at the Bradley County Justice Center on Wednesday and was charged with two counts of rape of a child and three counts of solicitation of a minor. Sheriff’s detectives launched an investigation in April after the parents of a 12 year-old girl contacted them. Circuit Judge Amy Reedy set Caldwell’s bond at $100,000. He is being held in the Bradley County jail. |

Dear Citizens,
This information is issued to clear up some misconceptions and misrepresentations reported in the media regarding the current budget process involving the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office.
The Tennessee Legislature has recognized the historical reluctance of county commissions across the State to fund sheriff’s offices adequately to meet statutory obligations and compensate personnel at the level needed to properly attract and retain them. As such, the legislature, in its wisdom, provided sheriff’s with specific legal requirements under the law to determine their budget and properly address the number one responsibility of government, the safety and security of citizens.
According to Tennessee Code Annotated § 8-20-101 the county sheriff has two options through which he may obtain authority to employ and compensate personnel to assist him to properly and efficiently conduct the affairs and transact the business of his office. The sheriff may either file a salary petition with the court, or, if the sheriff and the county executive agree on the number of deputies and the assistants to be employed and the salary to be paid to them, a letter of agreement may be prepared and submitted to the court for approval.
The sheriff must file a salary petition with the court or enter into a letter of agreement. According to the law, doing nothing is not an option and both provisions require the court to be involved. |
