Background and Discussion:

Deputies will work during Z-time to target high-crime areas and assist with increased calls for service. Dispatch will be available to answer necessary calls and provide assistance to the deputies working during Z-Time. The Department will work closely with OMB personnel to ensure the labor budget surplus is not exceeded.

 

Expected Impact:

It is expected that allowing deputies and dispatchers to work overtime for pay will allow the department to lower violent crimes in the Precinct and increase police visibility.
