specifying the authorized positions in
The Police Department's 1987-88 adopted budget included 932 authorized civil
service positions beginning October 1, 1987.
Since the budget was adopted, one captain suffered a heart attack and will be
off work indefinitely. Another authorized captain position is required until
he returns to work or retires, increasing the total number of authorized
captain positions to thirteen. The authorized strength will be reduced back to
twelve when the captain returns to work or retires.
The 1987-88 adopted budget reduced the number of authorized lieutenant
positions from the 1986-87 level by civilianizing the Auto Pound lieutenant
position. Presently, the civilianization plan is under development and an
authorized lieutenant position is required until the plan is finalized. The
adopted budget also reduced four sergeants in the Records and Identification
section intending to civilianize in that operation will extend beyond this
fiscal year Consequently, an additional four sergeant positions are needed
until civilianization occurs.
All the positions are currently carried as overage positions and funds were
budgeted to cover the additional salary costs. The authorized strength needs
to be increased by a total of six positions until the civilianization and
retirement issues are resolved. All of those issued may not be resolved in the
current fiscal year.
The 1987-88 adopted budget also authorized additional civil service positions
to begin in mid-year. These are 40 officers and 4 sergeants for Patrol and 3
sergeants and 4 corporal/detectives for the Auto Theft Unit. As of April 1,
1988 the civil service authorized strength will increase by those amounts.
Below is a summary of the changes.

The adopted budget originally authorized civil service positions effective
April 1, 1988. The increase of six positions is directly related to the
problems associated with implementation of the civilianization program
described above.
