Sacramento police officers are now spending up to five hours with their prisoners at the Sacramento County Main Jail booking room due to a shortage of intake nurses. The lack of nurses, who are responsible for approving inmates for incarceration, has been sidelining officers for a often a third or more of their shifts. As a result, nurses are feeling overworked and law enforcement agencies are frustrated by the amount of time their officers are spending away from their patrolling duties.
