As a Records Manager and VA Beach taxpayer, I am not happy about the recent revelation that Sheriff Lateigne is planning to use inmates to shred city documents. A. Those might include my personal documents. B. I can think of better uses of taxpayer money during a budget deficit. C. Risk and legality issues come to mind. I think it was a very short-sighted and ill-concieved idea. Sheriff Lateigne did not contact his own Records Management department for comment or LVA. I doubt he's aware of the many laws and regulations governing our records.
