He started as a part-time detention officer in 2011 and after five months moved into a full time position in Booking. A few months later, he was promoted to Classification Corporal followed by a promotion to Corporal in Unit Two Housing seven months later. Soon after, Captain Huffman was promoted to Sergeant at Unit One, and two years later was promoted to Lieutenant. In 2016, he transferred to Unit Two as Lieutenant of Housing. Along with his other responsibilities, he undertook overseeing the Maintenance Department for the Sheriff's Office, and in the role of Operations Officers was responsible for all of the logistics in both detention centers. Captain Huffman was also responsible for kitchen operations for both facilities and is certified by the National Restaurant Association. Since working in the jail, he has learned every aspect of corrections and detention and has applied himself to learn the myriad of detailed skills to successfully operate a facility. Over the last ten years, Captain Huffman has been a supervisor in every department of the jail and knows how each department should be run according to policy, state and federal law, and jail standards.
