Constable in Precinct 3 asks for staff and vehicles to meet growing workload
Summary
Glenn, the Constable for Precinct 3, requested an additional full-time deputy (or two part-time staff) and more reliable vehicles, saying current manpower and aging fleet create operational risk and that the office has five deputies and six vehicles now.
Glenn, Constable for Precinct 3, asked the court to fund another deputy position or two part-time positions to alleviate workload pressure and to replace aging vehicles. He said the office prefers a full-time deputy but recognized two part-time hires could be an alternative if that better fits the budget.
"We need another body, need vehicles," Glenn said, and added that the difference between one full-time hire and two part-time hires was about $4,000 but that part-time staffing can require additional vehicles and operational cost. Commissioners praised the level of detail in Glenn’s submitted workload breakdown and asked staff to consider the best staffing structure in the budget committee.
