Roseville police seek three new sworn positions, $69.2 million operating request for FY26
Summary
Police Chief Troy Bergstrom told the Roseville City Council budget workshop the department requests a $69.2 million operating budget for fiscal year 2025–26, a 5.7% increase driven mainly by personnel costs and three new positions to begin building out a new beat model.
Roseville Police Chief Troy Bergstrom told the City Council at a May 28 budget workshop that the police department’s proposed operating budget for fiscal year 2025–26 is $69.2 million, up 5.7% from the current year. Bergstrom said nearly all of the increase is tied to staffing, noting the police department accounts for roughly 29% of the city’s general fund.
The request includes three new positions: two patrol officers to begin staffing a planned three‑year expansion of “beat 8” and a second high‑tech crimes detective. The department also proposed reclassifying two community service officer roles into real‑time crime center specialist classifications and converting a senior records clerk to an administrative technician to reflect technical duties tied to CJIS and the state's law enforcement terminal systems.
Bergstrom described the department’s budget divisions — patrol/operations, investigative services, community services, professional services (including 9‑1‑1 communications, records, and property/evidence) and administration — and said patrol comprises the largest share of expenses. He listed equipment and training requests totaling about $173,457 and described plans to build a structural approach to replacing ballistic armor rather than asking for one‑time replacements annually.
Other materials and supplies requests include additional Tasers, duty and training ammunition, 40mm launchers for patrol cars, SWAT equipment and uniform replacement. Training increases noted in the presentation include more seats in the Sherman Block Leadership Institute and expanded CalJAC/Caledna dispatch training (state reimbursement expected). The department also asked the council to contribute $25,000 to the Roseville Police Activities League, a nonprofit that the chief said relies heavily on donations; Bergstrom said RPAL’s annual budget is about $160,000.
No formal council action occurred during the presentation. Council members asked no substantive follow‑up questions, and no public speakers addressed the police item during the workshop’s item‑by‑item public comment period.
