Staffing Levels
206.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that proper supervision is available for all shifts. The
Department intends to balance the employee's needs against the need to have flexibility and
discretion in using personnel to meet operational needs. While balance is desirable, the paramount
concern is the need to meet operational requirements of the Department.
206.2 MINIMUM STAFFING LEVELS
Minimum staffing levels should result in the scheduling of at least two regular supervisors on duty
whenever possible. Watch Commanders will ensure that at least one field supervisor is deployed
during each watch, in addition to the Watch Commander.
206.2.1 SUPERVISION DEPLOYMENTS
In order to accommodate training and other unforeseen circumstances, an officer may be used
as field supervisors in place of a field sergeant.
With prior authorization from the Patrol Division Commander, an officer may act as the Watch
Commander for a limited period of time .
