Sheriff reports staffing gaps as jail holds 43 inmates
Summary
Burleson County Sheriff reported multiple open positions — including a jailer, SRO and dispatchers — and said the county jail held 43 people (38 men, 5 women). Commissioners noted staffing strains while approving routine items.
Sheriff Rios told the court the Sheriff’s Department currently has several staffing openings: one jailer, one school resource officer, three dispatchers and one patrol position. He also reported the county jail population at 43 people, with 38 males and five females.
The court did not take specific personnel actions at this meeting related to the sheriff’s openings, but commissioners continued routine county business and approved several operational and contract items. The staffing report framed later discussions about Road & Bridge operations and other departmental needs.
