Dallas Deputies Want Pay Increases

DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – Dallas County sheriff’s deputies lobbied the County Commissioners Court for more money Tuesday – the same day commissioners approved 6% pay raises for themselves and other elected officials.

The deputies want an 8% raise.  They said morale is suffering because the county pays its deputies less than Collin and Rockwall counties.

Deputies in Dallas start at around $49,000 a year.
