Finally, this position is responsible for providing technical support for special setups, including installation of servers/network.
1. Audio-Visual Management – The incumbent is responsible for optimizing the equipment for the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.

From time to time, the incumbent may work with outside contractors to provide the best possible equipment in the shortest amount of time if there are special needs.
2. Project Management – This position is accountable for the special projects undertaken by the Sheriff’s Office, including the bidding of project work, identification of appropriate vendors, and then the oversight of the work being done by vendors through completion of the project. Decisions on vendor choices are collaborative with the Chief Deputy or County IT Director.
3. Database Management – The incumbent is responsible for development of a plan on server and database usage that anticipates problems and the impact of any downtime so that appropriate upgrades can be made in a timely manner. This frequently involves consulting with department heads on future needs, and collaborating on a solution that is agreeable to the department head.
4. Technical Support – This position is the go-to position for support of the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office, both to maintain functionality, and also to run it technically in a state of emergency.

6. Security – This position maintains an active directory of security permissions, and manages the use of those applications on the server in accordance with the levels of security granted.
The challenge for this position is the ability to negotiate and consult with others in a manner that is informative, and yet collaborative so that staff understands recommendations being made and the wisdom of making changes when necessary. Helping others to embrace new technology and think creatively while problem solving is key to being successful in this role, and to bringing state-of-the-art technology to the Sheriff’s Office.
