The Orange County Sheriff's Department will lay off one of its highest-ranking officers as well as 23 professional staff members this month as it grapples with a budget shortfall of more than $50 million. Among those who will lose their jobs is Assistant Sheriff Michael Hillmann, a four-decade veteran of the LAPD hired by Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens to help lead the department in the wake of corruption allegations against her predecessor. Hillmann, 64, ran into controversy early on when he was caught sending text messages mocking activists and board members during a Board of Supervisors meeting early last year on the department's gun permit policies. He later apologized. In addition to the cuts, 15 staff members have been asked to take extra responsibilities without additional pay to make up for the loss of personnel. "Every laid-off individual does represent a loss of service," Hutchens said, "but I'm doing everything I can not to impact the emergency services we provide." The changes come less than six months after Hutchens announced a dramatic reorganization that cut several members of the sheriff's command staff, some of whom were closely linked to former Sheriff Michael S. Carona. The former sheriff resigned in January 2008 after his indictment; he was sentenced last April to 5 1/2 years in prison for attempting to obstruct a grand jury investigation. Read More. |
