Westmoreland County officials have decided to hire some more guards for the county prison.
The Tribune-Review reports that the 12 guards will bring their total staff levels to 115 full-time guards and 31 part-time guards. The 12 new positions are expected to cut down on overtime, which is expected to save the county some money in the long run.
Part-timers will get first crack at any of the full-time positions.
