Brock explained to the Board members that the Sheriff's office has gone to great efforts recently to cleanup their cars, equipment, conserve gasoline, and perform their duties in the most efficient manner possible. Mr. Brock said that the County would like to take this opportunity to commend two officers for their outstanding service to the Sheriff's Office and one officer for an award he received on the State level. Mr. Brock recognized Jesse Gentry, a Detective with the Harnett County Sheriff's Department, who has been employed with the County only four months and has maintained the highest arrest rate. Over the past 90 days, agent Gentry has made 17 arrests, with an indictment rate of 27; of which, 16 were directed toward property crime. The Board and Sheriff Rosser commended Detective Gentry on his outstanding record. DAVID 0. WHITTENTON Mr. Brock then recognized David 0. Whittenton who has proven to be extremely beneficial working with the Sheriff's Department both in his performance of his duties as well as his productivity.

Brock, County Manager, informed the -Board that the County had been studying the feasibility of the County transferring the Child Support Enforcement Unit (IV -D) to the State: Mr. Brock stated that if notified before September 30, 1983, the State will assume responsibility for the IV -D program the following July 1, 1984. He continued to explain that when the State administers the pro - gram, the County no longer receives "Incentive" money but continues to receive the "County Share of AFDC" which is paid into the unit by the responsible parent. It is probable that the State will more fully staff the program, and the county's share of AFDC returns will increase considerably at no cost to the county_ Pat Cameron was then recognized by the Board for comments. Pat informed the Board that the IV-D program had been profitable to the County in the past, but with the decline in revenue from the federal government, the program may not continue to balance but in the future years. Also there is a backlog of cases that need to be handled and it appears that the State might provide additional manpower which would be beneficial to the County. Pat informed the Board that he had contacted the State and if the Board should deeide today that they would like to transfer this program to the State and then should change their minds, the Board would able to rescind this action any time prior to July 1, 1984.
