The Ector County Law Enforcement Center has room in their current budget for 97 full-time jailers but 34 of those positions, 35 percent, were unfilled as of Wednesday.
County peace officers, which includes deputies, jailers, courthouse security, juvenile probation officers and medical examiners, received a 16 percent pay raise this fiscal year beginning in October. Officials had hoped the financial incentive would help the county retain employees and attract new applicants, but it has yet to resolve the issue.
This is your county on "oil boom"!
