Police Department
The Police Department’s FY19 requested budget is
$11,329,185; an increase of $404,024 or 3.7% over
FY18.
The City Manager’s recommended budget
represents a reduction of $48,956 from the
Department’s requested budget.
The Department’s requested budget comprises increases associated with contractual salary and benefit obligations, fine-tuning of the rank structure after the 2016 restructuring, an increase in other operating to include training, service maintenance agreements, equipment replacement, and a reduction from $80,000 to $60,000 of Parking & Transportation Special Revenue Funds.
The major increase in contractual obligations impacting the FY19 budget includes the 2% COLA, an increase of $168,048 (1.54%). In addition, the FY19 salary and benefits lines include the full-year cost of the two officers approved and budgeted as mid-FY18 hires, causing an additional $70,213 (0.64%) cost in FY19. The Other Operating increase of $34,450 (.32%) reflects the addition of a new service maintenance agreement, and modest increases in equipment replacement, training, gasoline, and general price increases on goods and services.
This presented budget is net of Federal and State Grants, $49,225 funded by the Portsmouth School Department for a portion of a School Resource Officer (SRO) and $60,000 funded in Parking and Transportation special revenue fund for parking relating policing.
The Department is also requesting the addition of the following positions for consideration that are currently not included in the 3.7% budget numbers provided. Workload and CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) standards are the driving force for these additional requests and would add an additional 2.27% to the above budget.
