Before Sheriff Kelly Martinez took office, a state audit concluded the Sheriff's Department didn't do enough to prevent in-custody deaths, many of which were drug overdoses.
Sheriff Martinez refused to interview with local NBC news, but soon after Wereski's arrest this month on a felony drug charge, she said this about screening deputies: "I don’t think scanners are going to be the answer for screening deputies or any of our staff that are going into the jails on a regular basis. They’re going in and out every day, but there are other things that we can do. And just for jail security purposes, I’d rather not discuss what those are," Martinez said.
(AKA I can't make the cops go through a drug screening, or walk past drug dogs, the union won't let me, becuase the union knows they're moving drugs into the prisons)
