Deputies with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office are getting a pay raise that officials said will make the law enforcement agency among the highest paid in Texas.
The average pay raise of 9% for sheriff’s deputies working in the law enforcement and detention bureaus was unanimously approved Tuesday by the Bexar County Commissioners Court.
The Deputy Sheriff’s Association of Bexar County overwhelmingly ratified a contract amendment that provides deputies with the salary increase. Because a collective bargaining agreement covers the deputies, they had to formally approve the amendment to their contract. The deputies voted by secret ballot from July 20-26. The votes were tabulated on July 27, with 95% of the ballots cast in favor of the amendment.
