supervisors; authority of supervisors.
The county commission may employ one or more persons with the
approval of the circuit court and who shall be subject to the
supervision of the sheriff or, by agreement, the local community
criminal justice board, as a home incarceration supervisor or may designate the county sheriff or the local community criminal
justice board
