Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar released a short statement on the governor's request. "BCSO manpower including jailers will be utilized to maintain our current staffing needs," the statement said. Salazar has been working to end a chronic staffing shortage and high overtime costs at the jail. Hiring bonuses and taking recruitment efforts on the road across Texas is part of that work. Atascosa County Sheriff David Soward said he fully supports the governor, but there is a staffing shortage at his jail, too. "Some of our jailers have to come in their days off so I'm not so sure we could provide a lot of assistance to this program being that we're short-handed already," said Soward.
