"LAKE COUNTY -- Lake County Sheriff Frank Rivero confirmed Wednesday that he is analyzing options of replacing Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) transportation staff with a private security company.
LCSO Finance Manager Mary Beth Strong explained via email that "The Sheriff's Office is always looking for ways to save taxpayer money. One aspect we are analyzing is out-of-county transports to locations such as RCCC and San Quentin. We are looking at whether contracting out this service would save money and allow these officers to remain in the facility to assist in operations."
According to Strong, there are currently seven LCSO correctional officers assigned to transportation. "
