SUMMARY: The Williams County Deputies Association held a press conference to address the need for increased staffing in the Sheriff's Office. They highlighted the exponential growth in Williamson County, Texas, with nearly a quarter million new residents in the past 13 years and an estimated 53,000 new homes coming in the next year. Despite this growth, the number of patrol deputies has remained insufficient, leading to longer response times and increased crime. The deputies association requested 21 new deputies, but the Commissioner's Court did not support the motion. The Association criticized the court for neglecting the safety of the community and called for public support in addressing this issue.

The Williamson County Sheriff and the Williamson County Deputies Association are holding an emergency news conference to say something has to be done about the staffing crisis or they will have to call in state assistance.
