Though jail staffing was just one aspect of the review by American Correctional Consultants, it remains one of the primary focuses for commissioners, who approve millions of dollars for forced overtime at the jail every year.
– For the second time in two months, a consultant recommends changes to help the Bexar County jail to help address its chronic under-staffing problems.
Sheriff Javier Salazar says there are roughly 230 unfilled positions at the jail as his office struggles to keep the jail appropriately staffed. The resulting forced overtime for detention deputies costs more than dollars, though. Neely also recommended switching sworn deputies from administrative work that civilian employees could do.
However, Neely did not include any recommendations for further raising pay beyond a proposal to offer $5,000 to officers with at least five years of service who are in the process of purchasing a home. Salazar acknowledged the ACC and Detain, Inc. reports, which rose out of his and former Precinct 3 Commissioner Trish DeBerry’s frequent head-butting over jail over time, may have been “competing” at first.
The sheriff told commissioners,” Much of what saying is music to my ears,” and appeared open to the recommendations.
