What do you guys think about the recent Constable pay raise? I'm all for competitive pay. But this sure seems like a lot? When I saw the numbers, I looked up the job description. I figured for that kind of money, they were more than police officers who start out here at about $57k. But I don't see it ? " Harris County Constable positions involve various law enforcement responsibilities. Key Responsibilities Law Enforcement: Enforce laws, maintain peace, and ensure public safety within assigned precincts. Patrol Duties: Conduct regular patrols to deter crime and respond to incidents.

MissAmericanPie : WOW! Who gets a 63% pay raise? No one in the private sector, that is for sure! Do you know who it was that voted them such a generous raise?

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Hildalgo and Ellis voted against advancing the pay raise. Briones, Garcia, and Ramsey voted in favor of advancing the pay raise.

What is a typical yearly raise these days in the private sector? I would think 3-4% would be adequate if you're already making $178,000. Spread out the 63% raise to the police officers that are needing it more.
