Sheriff Doubts Resident Deputy Plan For Harris County
Harris County Sheriff, in remarks at the Baytown Chamber luncheon, questions the legality of requiring deputies to live in the area. He favors centralized dispatch and radio readiness over resident deputies, noting patrols in Highlands Crosby McNair and Barrett Station at current manpower levels. He says response priority rules guide officers, with murder and rape calls taking precedence over minor speeding incidents. The civil division will not be abolished as deputy constable plans proceed.
