Sheriff reports staffing gaps, jail holds 51 inmates
Summary
Sheriff Rios told Burleson County Commissioners on June 8 that the sheriff’s office has openings for one patrol deputy, three dispatchers and one jailer, and that the jail population was 51 (44 males, 7 females). Commissioners noted incoming surplus signs for Road & Bridge.
Sheriff Rios reported to the Burleson County Commissioners Court that the Sheriff’s Department currently has staffing vacancies: one patrol position, three dispatcher positions and one jailer position. He also reported the county jail held 51 inmates, of whom 44 were male and seven were female.
The report came during the department reports portion of the June 8 meeting. Commissioners and staff discussed operational needs tied to those vacancies; Commissioner Vincent Svec later noted that Road and Bridge would receive surplus signs from Brazos County at the FM 166 office, an item recorded during the commissioners’ reports. The minutes show no formal motion tied to the sheriff’s staffing report. The court proceeded to routine business and votes following department updates.
