I believe that’s near Target field. Which is in downtown. I was there a few weeks ago. It appears to be a nice, walkable downtown with lots of stores and places to eat.

From the city that brought you Ilhan Omar, I am shocked!
That was an excellent time for those scary looking rifles.

Talking about shortage of officers....
My SIL is a sherriff for Harris county.
he told me Saturday that during his shift, there are 20 on duty, but only 5 actually patrolling, answering calls.
The other 15, including himself, are sitting in subdivisions, providing security for whatever might happen.

I don't know.
I was pretty much gobsmacked myself.
I don't know if the county is making money or what.
Fixed an autocorrect error.

Well they want you worried that the handful of real nazis in the country are going to kill everyone and not the 13% of the population that commits over 50% of the violent crime. But stats & facts are racist. Just like this idiot found out in the video

I believe this is what he said, but didn't trust my memory enough to state it.
"In most cases the sub divisions are paying for that deputy to be in their community."
Wait, they're on the clock AND doing private security - private because patrolling is what they should be doing and not in just some damn sub-division only or do I have it wrong?

That's true for his(her?)* district, but not for the entire County. By that I mean, those numbers aren't the total numbers of deputies on duty in the entire County. Just saying. Also, those subdivision deputies are known as "contract deputies", whose salaries are paid by those several subdivisions--paid to the County and then paid as salary to those deputies as employees of the Sheriff. If those contracts are ended, those contract deputies jobs are ended.
*My "his(her?)" comes from you having post "SIL" but then you used "he" and "his" in your post.

You have it wrong.
The job of the contract deputies is to patrol those subdivisions. Those contract deputies don't have a job without those contracts, as the County wouldn't be able to afford to hire them. This is likewise true with respect to many contract deputy constables. The subdivisions contract with the County and then the County uses those funds to directly hire those deputy sheriffs or deputy constables. If those contracts end, those deputy sheriffs and deputy constables are terminated.
Another point of information, when there is a hot call--such as an "assist the officer"--those contract deputies are able to provide a surge capability of response that the Sheriff's Office, and the Constable's Department(s) would not otherwise have on duty at that time if it were not for the Contract Deputy Programs.
