Captains gone again?
- RUMORS:
Captains to be re-assigned as "executive officers"
* Captains would be working under district commanders. Perhaps they will take over smaller units and commanders will get dumped.
* Lieutenants will be re-named "watch coordinator”. No more title of "watch commander". They will only get paid LTs pay.
* NO MORE DESK SERGEANTS. One officer will be named as the “bonding officer” and they will be in charge of the safe, clerk arrest reports, get all the paperwork together for prisoners going to court and writing I-Bonds.
Since the general orders are being re-written the city feels they are not circumventing the contracts.
--------
This is in the works to go through by the end of the year.
The city ALSO want all civilians on the desk with the exception of the one sworn P.O. that can be the "bonding officer".
A couple of rough drafts of some new orders have been making their way around 35th street.
In the mean time NO promotions any time soon.
LTs will fall under 200 in manpower.
At least 40+ sergeants have put in their papers for this year. By the middle of next year sgts will fall under 1100 in manpower.
Captains should fall under 40 by next year also.
Once again, shuffling the deck. Renaming the entire captain rank and not disbanding some of the useless middle management layers downtown.
Let's see how much of this turns out to be true.
