The head of Community Corrections in Lexington expects a significant pay hike to help recruit and retain officers at the jail. The Lexington City Council this week approved a $75 hundred dollar pay increase for detention center workers. Starting pay will be just over $50,000. Scott Colvin is the director of Community Corrections.
“You’re going to see a new recruiting campaign, featuring the pay raise and we have a lot of other things to offer at the Division of Community Correction too, such as an honorable profession and a great group of people to work with and train with,” said Colvin.
