Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of a position dedicated to the recruitment of detention officers for the Sheriff's Office effective May 20, 2023.
end
Background and Discussion:
On June 14, 2022 Commissioners Court approved 120 detention positions to assist with offsetting overtime costs in the County jail. The approval also provided funding for a recruiter position for the Sheriff’s Office to assist with the hiring of detention officers. This request is to create a recruiter position in Human Resources & Risk Management (HRRM) that is dedicated to the Sheriff’s Office for the recruitment of detention officers. HRRM will work closely with the Sheriff’s Office in developing and maintaining a recruitment strategy to address the hiring of detention officers.
Expected Impact:
With the new 120 detention positions and the successful recruitment of those positions, the Sheriff’s Office expected to generate savings to offset significant overtime costs. Funding was provided to HRRM in the FY 2023 budget for the recruiter position.
Alternative Options:
If Commissioners Court chose not to approve this request, it would create challenges to the human resources staff of the Sheriff’s Office and HRRM to successfully fill vacant detention officer positions.
Alignment with Goal(s):
