Jailer/Officer I-V
$20.43 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)
Issue: Need to fill slot #0385 of employee who was promoted effective 07/08/2016. This position is required due to the need for the Webb County jail to maintain needed security/safety measures and to sustain compliance with state/federal laws regulating the required inmate-to-staffing levels as well as other management measures mandated at penitentiaries. Furthermore, this position provides needed manpower to support the continuous (24 hours-a-day/7-days a week) operations of the jail division.
Solution: Request is being made to fill slot #0385 in order for the Webb County jail to remain in compliance with mandatory officer-to-inmate ratios for the safety and security of jail inmates, visitors, correctional officers, civilian staff, jail service providers/vendors and the rest of the community.
Result: The Webb County Sheriff’s Office will maintain needed safety and security standards at the Webb County jail and continue to stay in compliance with Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS).
