Explanation

This ordinance increases the normal and temporary complements of deputy chiefs of police by one. The increases are being made to more equitably spread out the duties of the Deputy Chiefs and prepare younger officers to be mentors in higher ranked positions before the 'DROP' retirement program becomes effective. While a commensurate lower level strength reduction is not being taken, the financial impacts are negligible as pay increases associated with this action will be minimal.
