- The Department has finally issued the much awaited "superbid" vacancies. This is the reward for these Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most Officers would prefer not to work. Please keep this in mind when the Department offers another opportunity to work in another non-bid unit. The risks definitely outweigh the rewards.
The only silver lining to this thunderhead is the fact that these officers are not locked into these districts. They will have the ability to bid out of these districts as early as September 15, 2011 if bids are available.
The Department intends to fill the following vacancies effective August 18, 2011.
Dist ----- # of Vacancies
003 ----- 28
004 ----- 45
005 ----- 73
006 ----- 43
007 ----- 56
Take a look at the 005 District number - 73 openings. That's exactly as many openings as were posted 29 July. We spoke with someone downtown and they claimed almost 1,200 PAR forms were filed this period, which means either no one bid for 005 or exactly the same number bid in as bid out. Makes you wonder about 005, doesn't it?
We're going to predict under 20 openings will be posted next period city-wide. The Area 2 manpower issue has been "solved" for the summer.
