Both Dallas and Tarrant counties currently have more than 100 openings for detention officers.
Texas sheriff’s departments are feeling the pressure of labor shortages ever since the start of the COVID-10 pandemic.
State regulations require a certain detention officer to inmate ratio, so the shortage is affecting jail operations. Detention officers in Dallas and Denton counties are working longer days, or mandated overtime in some cases, to make it work. The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office is offering higher salaries and bonuses for skills, like being bilingual, to attract more applicants.
