MESSAGE FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
In FY 2023-24, Measure W funding paid for 24 Police Officers to respond to approximately 53,423 calls for service, an average of 2,226 per officer during the year. Measure W Proceeds continue to be an important part of the police department’s annual operating budget. It pays not only for salary and benefits for those officers, but also for their vehicles, fuel, radios, and other safety equipment necessary to work in the field.
The amount of tax revenue available and the cost of the positions determine the exact number of funded Police Officers year to year. All Measure W positions are assigned to the Field Service Division, the primary function of which is to handle dispatched calls for service on a 24/7 basis. In FY 2023-24, the Police Department handled 331,668 calls for service, a 8.3% decrease from FY 2022-23.
Attachment A421
Measure W funded 24 police officers and 27 firefighters in FY 2023-24. The decline in sales tax revenues during the last recession necessitated a reduction in positions funded by Measure W. Staffing levels have been steady for the last nine years after rebounding from 22 police officers and 23 firefighters in FY 2013-14.
