The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office has been awarded $22,971.46 in grant money from the Deputy Sheriff Salary Supplement Fund program.

The DSSSF Grant will increases the annual base pay to $29,000 for LCSO deputies. The Office said the grant also covers any/all additional costs associated with the increased compensation so the county tax payers are not footing the bill for this grant.

The application was made to the Missouri Mo-Smart Board and Department of Public Safety to increase the base pay for Livingston County Deputy Sheriffs.

The 2016 grant runs July 01, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
