At the Oct. 23 Burleson County Commissioners Court meeting, Chief Rios delivered the sheriff’s report and said the county jail had 45 inmates (38 male, 7 female).
Chief Rios told the court that the sheriff’s office currently has several open positions that the department is seeking to fill: three school resource officer positions, one enforcement-control position and four jailer positions. The openings were presented as part of routine department reporting; no hiring motions or budget approvals specific to those positions were recorded in the minutes.
