Title
Authorization of changes to the City of Deer Park Administrative Manual as it pertains to Education Pay.
Body
Summary:
Updates to the Education Pay program specifically for Bachelors and Master’s degree holders who are also sworn police officers with the city. The proposed changes allow us to recognize the high education entry requirement the city has for police officers. To the best of our knowledge, Deer Park is one of two departments in the state which has a Bachelor’s degree requirement for peace officers.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
While the cost for the remainder of FY 2016-2017 is $35,716, no additional funds will need to be appropriated due to available funds in the Police Department salaries line-item due to unfilled positions.
