Laid-off state police workers stay on as volunteers
November 30, 2009 | Virginia News
RICHMOND, Va. -- Shelia White was at work behind her desk at Virginia State Police headquarters in Chesterfield County last Monday at 6:30 a.m., bright and early as usual. And, as usual, there was plenty to do at her post in the Police Academy building: reams of paperwork and reports for the trooper recruits and the tactical-operations division, and correspondence with other law-enforcement agencies.
The difference between these days and when White started in January is that now she isn't being paid. She is also among 15 former paid employees who have returned to their duties as volunteers, part of an effort to support their colleagues in public safety.
