SAN ANTONIO — Initially perceived as a bitter attempt to undermine Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, a report analyzing jail operations was received in good spirits by both he and Commissioners Court.In October 2021, former Pct. 3 Commissioner Trish DeBerry requested a second consultant following a heated exchange with Salazar when he announced that he hired Belton-based Detain Inc. to make recommendations on jail operations.
“I felt like he was being brought on by a certain person on the court as a hired gun,” Salazar said after Neely’s report was released. “So I saw fit to hire my own consultant to protect our interests and make sure that we were keeping honest people honest. As it turned out, both consultants reports were really pretty much in line.”
Much of Neely’s presentation focused on improving morale for deputies, such as a pay raise that has since been implemented in this year’s collective bargaining agreement and a revamp of break rooms into a cafe-style space with internet access. Both consultant reports, which focused on jail operations in November 2021, found that pay for deputies at the time was not competitive with the top counties in Texas.were making an average of 15 percent less than their counterparts in six large metropolitan counties in Texas as of November 2021. Even nearby counties like Comal, Atascosa and Kendall offered higher starting wages.
