A made-for-the-movies Nassau sheriff

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran is recommending that a "personal" consultant for prison and jail movies be hired as the county's new sheriff.

James E. Dzurenda assists directors, producers and actors "in recreating real life prison and jail scenes" for productions in New York City and Los Angeles, according to the resume submitted to the county legislature.

Actually, Dzurenda appears to have a lot of real life experience as well, working and overseeing correctional facilities in Nevada, Connecticut and New York City, but his role in movie production is the most glamorous part of his lengthy resume.

Dzurenda would replace former sheriff Vera Fludd if approved by the legislature.

Dzurenda's resume indicates he currently is consultant for the city of North Las Vegas to construct a jail system after serving two years as director of prisons for the state of Nevada.

Before that, he was a first deputy commissioner for New York City's department of Corrections after serving as Commissioner of Connecticut's Correction Department, his resume shows.

From 1987 through 2014, he worked his way up in Connecticut's corrections system as a corrections officer and captain, to warden and administrator,  and then deputy commissioner and commissioner, according to his resume.

But since November 2015, he has also been a corrections movie consultant for Romance Apocalypse LLC, it says.
