The results largely mirrored those of a study Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar commissioned on his own released earlier this year.
Credit:A new wide-ranging study of the Bexar County Adult Detention Center recommends that the county take swift action to address its persistent staffing woes, including filling civilian positions that were frozen during the pandemic and making other changes to improve employee retention.
“The most important thing I can leave you with … is it is extremely important that this department look at which benefits and what incentives matter most to applicants,” Neely said. In a presentation that lasted more than an hour, Neely walked commissioners through his math for determining optimal staffing levels, which calls for an additional 60 full-time employees on top of filling the current vacancies.
“These certified detention deputies are valuable resources that quite frankly should be working in operations … reducing the mandatory overtime,” Neely said. “We’re looking at a bunch of civilian positions that if we could just get them unfrozen, we would be able to hire in some civilian people, or even rehire people that left the sheriff’s office as deputies, but may want to come back and do some of that civilian work,” Salazar said.
