Subject: Police Department Reorganization to include an Additional Deputy Chiefs Position
Background Summary:
The police department is asking that an additional deputy chief position be added to the department's
rank structure. An additional deputy chief would enable the police department to be split into two main
sections answerable directly to the chief of police for increased efficiency and improved supervision of
operation and administration activities.
In this proposed reorganization, one sergeant's position will be eliminated and the total number of
authorized positions will not increase. The transfer of funds will cover the salary difference of the two
positions only.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve transferring funds from
Communications Salaries (529-1200) to Police Salaries (521-1200) to staff an additional deputy
chief's position?
Recommendations
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve transferring
money from Communications Salaries (529-1200) to Police Salaries (521-1200) to fund an additional
deputy chief's position.

RE:
Police Department Reorganization to include an Additional Deputy Chiefs Position
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve transferring money from
Communications to Police to fund and additional deputy chief's position?
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION
The police department is asking that an additional deputy chief position be added to the department's
rank structure. An additional deputy chief would enable the police department to be split into two main
sections (Operations and Administration) answerable directly to the chief of police for increased
efficiency.
The police department proposes to transfer money from Communications Salaries (529-1200) to
Police Salaries (521-1200).
Money from open sergeant's position ranging from $ 43,146 to $68,441 annually would be used to
fund the additional deputy chief's position. Money from an open communications supervisor position
ranging from $33,762 to $53,652 annually will be used to supplement the remainder of the additional
deputy chief's position. The salary range for a deputy police chief is $55,080 to $92,309 annually. If a
police lieutenant currently making approximately $65,000 is promoted, a deputy chief would require at
minimum a 5% increase in salary that would result in an increase of $3,250 annually. Such a
promotion would help create upward mobility for other officers.
The duties of the vacated communications supervisor position have been absorbed by the chief
communications supervisor.
