The team will submit a report to Sheriff Elect-Smith to facilitate organizational, policy and personnel decisions once he takes office.

The team members represent a wide variety of community stakeholders and several other experts in law enforcement and management and include retired Pasco County sheriff Bob White, Bay County Chief Deputy Joel Heape and retired FDLE commissioner Jerry Bailey.

Local attorney Kristy Banks will also serve on the committee as will teacher Lindsey Bockelman, CPA Mark Friedman and retired banker Ted Ruffner.

Dr. Ed Naggiar who specializes in organizational and leadership training will serve on the committee as will Retired Army Major General James E. Donald.

Other key functions of the team will be to study the financial picture of the current sheriff's office and help develop a sound budget going forward and look for areas to consolidate or to combine similar services and eliminate redundancy.

The group will be also asked to study cost centers such as payroll practices and purchasing policies for insurance, automobiles, communications and other equipment.


The Sheriff's office said the transition team is fully voluntary and none of the members are being paid.
