Officer: Date Hired: Amount
As P.O. Budgeted:
Bowman 08-02~ $ 512.46
Gross 01-06-87 1,537.38
Peizer 03-18-88 1,138.80
Terry 05-15-74 1,537.38
Total $4,953.78
Also, attached is information requested through Mayor Bminard to Council
Members on the Master Patrol Officer.
PERSONAL SERVICES:
1. I am requesting that the rank of "Master Patrol Officer' be created. This
position would allow officers who have completed ten (10) years of service
with C.P.D. to be eligible for promotion to this new rank.
This rank would not be achieved by a competitive promotional process as
the sergeant' s and lieutenants ranks are, but rather by meeting a set of stan-
dards and criteria as established by Departmental policy. This position
would be a bit of an incentive and a means of recognition for those officers
who wish to remain a patrol officer and not seek a supervisory position as a
means of a pay increase or career advancement.
My recommendation is for a 4% pay differential for the MPO over the 1't Class
Patrol Officers base pay of $36,998 for 1998. This would amount to $1,479.92
and four officers would be eligible for the MPO rank in 1998.
2. I am requesting, and have budgeted for an increase in the base pay of the
sergeants and lieutenants ranks. The responsibilities of these positions are
· supervisory as well as operational.
As the Department grows and responsibilities increase and become more
complex, I believe that the first line supervisors should be adequately
compensated. i am recommending an 8.4% increase for lieutenants ($131.32),
and a 5.6% increase for sergeants ($82.07). These proposed increases would
bring the pay disparity between a 1st Class Patrol Officer and sergeant to 7.9%,
and between sergeant and lieutenant to 9.9%. This proposal is a budget
increase of $28,400.32 (13 sergeants @ $38.46, and 7 lieutenants @ $84.62).
3. I am requesting an increase in the Uniform Allowance of $150, bringing the
current allowance of $750 to $900 per officer. With 70 sworn officers, this
amount would increase the budget by $10,500. The uniform allowance has not
increased from $750 for the past sixteen years. Obviously the cost of uniforms
and accessories has increased during this period of time.
The following is representative of what the average officer would purchase during
a years period. This sample reflects the minimum purchases needed to maintain
a professional appearance.
