The hiring process is time-consuming because of training. ``We still have personnel needs,'' Hladky said. ``We know they're coming, but the time line hasn't been set yet. We want to make sure that the Palmdale station is considered during the prioritizing of personnel.'' Lancaster sheriff's Capt. Mike Aranda said one thing on his wish list is that the sheriff-elect will give the station the tools to better analyze crime. Aranda is hoping to meet with Baca's transition team later this month, though no date has been set. ``With his 32 years of experience in the Sheriff's Department, we're confident that he understands the needs of the department,'' said Aranda. ``I look forward to working with him.'' Lancaster has a $10.9 million contract with the Sheriff's Department for law enforcement, and Palmdale has a $9.4 million contract. |
