This Budget Amendment is a request to take two vacant Police Officer positions and create a new Police Deputy Chief / Police Captain position and a new Police Sergeant position.  Any changes to civil service positions must be made by a budget ordinance. Currently, there are 285 Police Officer positions at pay grade PCS1.  If approved, the number of Police Officers would be 283. There are currently 68 Police Sergeant positions at pay grade PCS3.  If approved, the number of Police Sergeants would be 69. There are currently 7 Deputy Police Chief / Police Captain positions at pay grade PCS5.  If approved, the number of Deputy Police Chief / Police Captains would be 8.
