Commissioners approve jailer overtime pay in Ector County
Ector County Commissioners backed overtime payments for jailers citing ongoing staff shortages and high inmate counts. Sheriff Mike Griffis said 60 jailers are short about 20 officers, with 584 inmates housed locally and 189 in other counties, and that comp time cannot cover absences. The plan draws from the sheriff’s existing budget and starts in February, with other routine approvals on the agenda.
