Nueces County constables ask commissioners for deputies, equipment and vehicle program changes

Constables and their staff told the Nueces County Commissioners Court during a budget workshop that public-safety workloads have risen sharply and that their offices need more deputies, vehicle maintenance money and standardized equipment to keep pace. Precinct 2 Constable Jason McCack outlined requests including two additional bailiff/deputy positions, expanded vehicle maintenance funds and $316,634 for a five‑year plan to buy Axon body cameras, Axon taser 10 units and in‑car cameras so his office aligns “with the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office and the Corpus Christi Police Department,” he said.
