Rushin is considered a “representative” of Strategic Government Resources, the business that helped assign him to the role.

The City of Lubbock is working with SGR until a new chief of police is named.

Over the course of a year, as a full time employee with a 40-hour work week, this is the equivalent of a roughly $187,200 salary. The city is charged each week.

The City of Lubbock also agreed to cover Rushin’s travel and housing.

The agreement is subject to termination at any point, according to the records.
