Sexual Harrassment Prevention Team

Sexual Harrassment Prevention Team (S.H.P.T.)

Mission Statement - May 22, 2006

“The central mission of the Sexual Harassment Prevention Team is to eliminate sexual harassment from our workplace, thereby elevating the level of professionalism in our organization.

This initiative began in 2004 with the planning of how the Sheriff’s Office could more effectively address the problem of sexual harassment. The design of the Team, using middle management staff from all three divisions, is targeted to make access easy for the reporting of problems or concerns by all employees.

All employees will receive sexual harassment training provided by Team members as part of their annual in-service training.

I believe this special initiative to more effectively manage sexual harassment issues demonstrates the seriousness of our commitment to professionalism.”

Sincerely,

Mark H. Luttrell, Jr.
Sheriff
