DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
MEMORANDUM
Y'
1
TO: Mr Scott C. Linebaugh, City Manager
FROM: Richard L. Watson, Police Chief
DATE: May 31, 1990
SUBJECT: . Request for "Off -setting Budget Adjustment"; Critical
Shortage of Police Officers
The police department has 56 authorized commissioned police
officer slots and has 3/4 year funding on a 57th slot known as the
Early Officer Replacement slot. As of May 14th, 1990 all 57
positionswere full "on paper" but in reality the department is
drastically short. Due to "injuries" (both on and off-duty)
causing extended absences and "military leaves", the department is
looking at the summer with less than 90% patrol officer staffing
strength. The present allocation of department police personnel
is as follows (to cover 24-hour days, 7 days a week):
1 -Chief of Police
1 -Assistant Chief of Police
1 -Captain
5 -Lieutenants
9 -Sergeants
40 -Patrol Officers
57 TOTAL
Of the 40 patrol officers, four (10%) are undergoing Field
Training Officer (FTO). Eight more patrolmen (20%) function in
other than street use- (six in detective and drug investigation
jobs; one in crime prevention (DARE), and one as warrant officer).
This leaves 28 officers (70% of available patrolmen for street use)
under normal conditions.
The current crisis is brought about by the loss of seven
additional patrolmen during some of the summer months. Two
officers are going to be off for 3-6 weeks due to medical reasons.
Four officers (one for five months) will be off for military leave
purposes and one other officer has resigned effective in early
June. The department's overtime expenditures are already mounting
and some officers are becoming fatigued due to the number of
additional hours .being worked covering vacancies. The police
department is requesting the City Board to authorize the hiring of
three additional police officers immediately. These three
additional slots would be considered temporary during 1990 and
receive4

their permanency would be addressed in the 1991 budget process.
The 1990 funding- for these three additional slots would be
accomplished by the attached "off -setting" budget adjustment in the
amount of $52,529.58.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT NOTES: Hire three additional full-time
officers using budget adjustments from 101-290-5-315.00
(*$38,529.58 - part of the remaining prisoner holding fee funds)
and 101-290-5-314.00 (*$14,000 - national accreditation funds)
which total $52,529.59. It is felt this $52,529.59 plus the funds
saved by one officer on leave without pay for five months (military
leave) will fully fund the three new officers. These officers
would be hired from the current Civil Service Commission list of
certified police applicants.
These three officers would be immediately assigned to unmarked
units handling vehicle unlocks and possibly even parking lot
accident investigations. The department is currently averaging
over 348 vehicle unlocks monthly requiring an average of 146 hours
of officer time each month. The department is currently averaging
53 parking lot accidents which requires approximately 53 hours of
officer time monthly. In addition,these three officers could
receive their mandated training and the City would be in a much
more stable position when officer replacements are necessary in
early 1991 (three officers are currently eligible for retirement).
•
•
* Use of these funds would limit options in 1990 toward the closing
of the City Jail and .the planned application for national
accreditation.

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Scott C. Linebaugh, City Manager
FROM: Richard L. Watson, Police Chief
DATE: June 15, 1990
SUBJECT: Police Personnel Shortage
Attached is a schedule of the exact vacancies at the police
department which are a major immediate concern to our response
capabilities to citizen calls for service. Since all the vacancies
are occurring in the street patrol officer level, our ability to
handle emergency calls for service is directly effected.
The following temporary plan is in place concerning the
placement of other staff members into street patrol duties during
the emergency period.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS:
1. Warrant Officer to work two street patrol shifts per week.
2. Crime Prevention Officer to work two street patrol shifts per
week. When the DARE classes start in the Fall, the Crime
Prevention Officer will have to return to normal schedule.
3. The "one" new police officer we have who is not yet certified
is currently being trained for investigating minor parking lot
accidents, taking minor complaint reports and performing
vehicle unlocks. This function will only continue until the
officer reports to the police academy in August 1990.
PATROL CHANGES: '
1. Assign one K-9 officer per week to canine duties and assign
the second K-9 officer to a beat unit. The K-9 officers would
then rotate on a weekly basis.
2. Require some first line supervisors to answer citizen calls
for service thereby relieving some of the calls the beat units
receive.
The three temporary officers we are requesting will function
as "early officer replacements". We have reserved training slots
in the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy's eight week
course which starts in October 1990. Between their date of hire
and academy training, the officers will be trained and assigned to
investigating minor parking lot, accidents, taking minor complaint
reports, performing vehicle unlocks, and as relief jailers. Using
these officers for the more minor calls will greatly free up
certified officers to answer the more serious calls for service.
After completion 1of the academy the officers will be
immediately assigned to the Field Training Officer program for 16
weeks. The officers will then be available, around April 30th,
1991, for assignment to full police duties.
