SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Mr. Michael Moore was appointed as the Chief Deputy Sheriff-Corrections Operations Bureau on January 29, 2015 after an extensive recruitment process. Effective February 6, 2016, Mr. Moore was appointed as the Undersheriff and has agreed to accept the position at Step 5 of the 7-step salary range of the position.
Placement at advanced step may be requested to compensate employees commensurate with their specialized knowledge, skills, experience, and recognition of their current compensation. Pursuant to the provisions of the Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution (PPPR) #98-394, Board of Supervisors’ approval is required to authorize placement above Step 3 in Unit Y.
Chief Deputy Moore has approximately 25-years of law enforcement experience including nearly 5-years of command experience in large and medium sized counties. As the Chief Deputy of the Corrections Operations Bureau, Mr. Moore was responsible for management of the Monterey County Jail, Transportation Division, and Court Security of all facilities of the Superior Courts of California in Monterey County. The Corrections Operations Bureau is the largest of the three Bureaus of the Sheriff’s Office.
Prior to his appointment as Chief Deputy with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, he was a Captain with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. His last assignment with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department was as a Captain/Chief of Police for the city of Highland.

His previous assignments included Division Commander of the Frank Bland Regional Training Center and Training Division, Commander of the Internal Affairs Division, Commander of the Inland Regional Narcotics Enforcement Team and Regional Methamphetamine Task Force, including management and supervision of Federal, State and local law enforcement officers.

Mr. Moore is a graduate of the Police Executive Research Forum’s Senior Management Institute for Police Session #56 and California Commission on POST Executive Development Course.

In consideration of Mr. Moore’s considerable experience as well as the difficulty the department has had recruiting and filling this critical position, approval is requested to place Mr. Moore at Step 5 of the County’s current salary schedule for the Undersheriff position.
