Salinas >> Putting the final, and most-anticipated, piece of his leadership team in place, Monterey County Sheriff-elect Steve Bernal on Monday announced the hiring of San Bernardino County Capt. Michael Moore to oversee the county jail.

Moore, who also serves as police chief in the Southern California city of Highland under a contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, will oversee custody and correctional operations for Monterey County, which is planning a new jail facility. “Mike is known as a problem solver at the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office.
