Police staffing and retention: committee presses for data as DROP, civilianization and new classes complicate projections
Summary
Supervisors pressed the Police Department and the controller for clearer projections after the controller estimated 1,976 full-duty officers for the coming year; discussion focused on the DROP deferred-retirement program, civilianization of positions and academy class yields.
Updated projections from the Controller's Office showed a projected 1,976 full'duty officers at the end of the coming fiscal year, five officers above the Prop D staffing target cited in the controller's memo (Ben Rosenfield, SEG 2618'2621). Committee members probed the assumptions behind that projection as they examined the Police Department's budget and its proposed civilianization, temporary positions and attrition.
