Request for discussion and possible action for funding additional positions in the Law Enforcement Departments (HCSO and Constables).
end
Background and Discussion:
In June 2023, the 88th Legislature passed House Bill 4879, ushering in a new era of incident-based reporting. HB 4879 modifies Government Code 411.054 to make NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System) submissions to the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program mandatory. This requires ALL local law enforcement agencies to submit their own reports. Prior to this the Constables would submit their information to HCSO and HCSO would submit on behalf of Harris County. Effective September 1, all departments are required to submit their own reports.
Expected Impact:
Departments combined need an additional 13 positions.
Alternative Options:
Departments will have to use OT to cover the time that Clerks are currently having to work to ensure compliance.
Alignment with Goal(s):
X_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
