Sheriff Salazar requests more deputies to combat rise in violent crime during summer
and other violent crimes occurring daily, saying the increase has strained his office’s already taxed resources.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has seen an increase in firearms being used during crimes, and Salazar is concerned about their presence in the hands of convicted felons and gang members. “We must increase the number of deputies on the streets actively fighting crime so we can keep Bexar County safe,” Salazar wrote.
He said there have been several recent incidents in which deputies have been shot at by suspects. In one night in April, deputies responded to six vehicle burglaries in Alamo Ranch where the suspects were openly carrying guns during the robberies.
