A Statement from Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley

Today, Mayor Whaley, Senator Lehner, Commissioner Foley, and Sheriff Plummer
met to discuss the opportunity to create a Justice Committee for the Montgomery
County Jail.

The Sheriff has asked, and the Montgomery County Commission will agree, to create
a Justice Committee. There is recognition that the demands of the jail has
significantly changed over the past 10 years. Therefore we need a committee
committed to making recommendations on policies, facilities and resources.

The committee will consist of 10 members with the Sheriff serving as an ex-officio
member. It will be appointed jointly by the Sheriff, the President of the Montgomery
County Commission, the State Senator of the 6th District and the Mayor of Dayton.

The appointing committee is looking for applicants with professional expertise in:
mental health, substance abuse, civil rights, law enforcement, judiciary and
healthcare.

Individuals interested in being appointed, should send their resume to Farra Smith
