Summary

Carvelli said two marine officers are serving on the lake, an RCRO will be placed at the middle school, three new officers are in the Sacramento Police Academy slated to graduate in December, and a lateral dispatcher is being hired from Contra Costa County.

Lieutenant Scott Carvelli updated the commission on personnel: two marine officers are now deployed on the lake, an RCRO has been assigned to the middle school for the upcoming school year, and three new officers are in the Sacramento Police Academy with expected graduation in December. He also said the department is hiring a lateral dispatcher from Contra Costa County and that only one dispatch vacancy remains to be filled.

Carvelli noted minimum patrol staffing is three officers plus a supervisor, with typical weekday staffing around four plus supervisor; he said the department uses overtime and targeted staffing increases for major holiday weekends and special events rather than maintaining a permanent summer‑season force.
