Negotiators seek regular pay for callbacks and separate pool for event staffing
Summary
Union sought callback pay at regular rate even if officers are cancelled after responding; negotiators also proposed hiring off‑duty officers for planned events to avoid pulling officers from street patrol and recommended a separate overtime pool for special events.
The bargaining group discussed two related staffing-pay topics: callback pay for officers called back to duty and staffing for planned special events. Committee member (speaker 7) and others argued cancelled callbacks should still pay at the regular rate because officers often leave home and begin travel before cancellations. "That it's for the when you get called back to, just change that from callback pay to the to change it to regular rate of pay," Committee member (speaker 7) said.
Separately, negotiators proposed creating a separate pool of off‑duty officers to staff planned special events so patrol officers are not removed from street duties. Speakers said a sign-up system for events would let off‑duty officers accept overtime work rather than reassigning active patrol staff, improving operational readiness while covering community events.
