B. AUTHORIZATION OF TEMPORARY POLICE STAFFING INCREASE AND\nADDITION OF HUMAN RESOURCE SPECIALIST POSITION TO THE\nDEPARTMENT’S AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL [RESOLUTION NO. 25-12]\nThe Police Department is allotted 54 sworn officers. Due to projected vacancies\nwithin the coming months, the San Gabriel Police Department seeks approval\nto temporarily increase the number of sworn officers to 59. The temporary\nincrease in staffing will allow for continuity as employees separate from the\norganization. In addition, the Police Department requests to increase its\nprofessional staffing level to include one Human Resources Specialist, who will\nbe assigned to the Recruitment, Training, and Equipment Bureau, replacing the\nneed for a sworn officer to staff this position. The estimated cost of a newly-\nhired sworn officer, including salary and benefits, is approximately $125,000.\nThe total cost for five sworn officers would be $625,000. The cost for a Human\nResources Specialist position ranges from $90,400 to $103,500, depending on\nthe employee’s step placement.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-12 authorizing the\nCity Manager and the Human Resources Director to temporarily over-hire 5\npolice officers and to add a Human Resources Specialist to the Police\nDepartment’s staffing.
