Finding F1.1
The two-Captain system initially implemented at three Sheriff stations shows promise for improving station culture and community relations, due to the splitting of managerial duties of Station leadership into more manageable spans of control. One Captain focuses on administrative duties (Human Resources, Scheduling, Deputies on medical leave, Union issues) while the other Captain focuses on patrol deputies in the field (monitoring stops, use of force, citizen complaints) and community relations.
