A training exercise became a bit too realistic for a group of sheriff's deputies, who filed a grievance after their boss ordered them to spend a couple of hours behind bars. Leelanau County (Mich.) Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf last month required his three dozen law enforcement and corrections officers to spend two hours in the new county jail to prepare for real inmates. Ten officers filed a grievance May 24 with Pat Spidell, local representative for the Police Officers Association of Michigan. The grievance complains of false imprisonment, Oltersdorf said. He called the idea ludicrous. Oltersdorf, who also spent an hour in jail said the incarceration was on par with other mandatory training, such as pepper-spraying officers or shooting them with stun guns before they carry those weapons on duty. |
