SUBJECT REASSIGNMENT OF AUTHORIZED STRENGTH IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance specifying the
authorized positions in the Police Department, increasing by one the number of
authorized Lieutenant positions and decreasing the number of authorized Police Officer
positions by one.
DISCUSSION:
The Police Department currently has forty-two (42) authorized Lieutenant positions.
A major program change which has been initiated, makes it necessary for the Police
Department to request an additional Lieutenant position. One Police Officer position
will be deleted so this action will have no impact on total authorized strength.
During fiscal year 1991-92, the Department of Justice awarded the Weed and Seed grant
to the department and a Lieutenant was loaned to administer and supervise the personnel
assigned to the grant. The Weed and Seed grant did not include a supervisory position,
therefore, the department had to adjust personnel assignments in order to provide a
Lieutenant to the Weed and Seed program.
In order to accomplish this change in personnel assignments, the department has been
assigning a Sergeant the duties of a Lieutenant and paying the Sergeant acting pay.
The Police Department's authorized strength is and will remain 1,050 civil service
positions. Upon approval of this request, the following would be the assignment civil
service positions authorized for the Police Department:
Police Officers 706*
Corporal/Detective 172
Sergeants 112
Lieutenants 43**
Captains 12
Deputy Chiefs 5
TOTAL 1, 050 O~~l~~~~' R~~~~D
C~~Y SE~~~T~RY
* Deletes one police officer
** Includes additional Lieutenant position ~"~. ~o~~~, ~~X.
By increasing the authorized Lieutenant's positions the department will also be able
to promote an African American thereby enhancing the department's Affirmative Action
goals of achieving more minority representation at those ranks. The current
Lieutenant's promotional list expires on March 30, 1993.
