Council extends police compensatory-time cap to May 9 amid staffing concerns
Summary
Chief Dan McCammon asked council to extend the compensatory-time cap because of staffing and new-officer training; the council voted to extend the cap to May 9, 2025. The motion passed by majority vote.
Police Chief Dan McCammon asked the Preston City Council to extend the department's compensatory-time cap due to staffing shortages and the need to train new officers. The request emphasized operational constraints that have left some officers with accrued compensatory time.
Councilmember Todd Thomas moved to extend the compensatory-time limit to May 9, 2025; Councilmember Chris Larsen seconded the motion. The recorded vote was Todd Thomas — Aye; Terry Larson — Absent; Brent Dodge — Aye; Chris Larsen — Aye. The motion passed by majority vote.
The council did not adopt additional policy changes during the meeting; the extension provides temporary relief for department scheduling and training needs while staff continue to address longer-term staffing and coverage issues.
