The concern is the costs involved with training new officers. As Clyde said, $13 - $15,000 per officer. It is my understanding you can't transfer funding from personnel to other areas. At least that's whats been published a number of times. It's probably also revenue that is not really there.. it's there on paper, and it's collected over time to meet payroll, but the 13-15,000 X 32 is probably not available all at one time, or within the span of a short period, to dole out. Then there's the cumbersome process of actually directing the funds to the correct accounts, after you've identified them.<BR/><BR/>My question is.. what happens to the 32 new replacement officers, when the original 32 return? Are they suddenly out of a job. That was alot of money to spend on training to see temporary officers.<BR/><BR/>They can cut down on their recent excessive traffic activities and do without until the return of the 32.Lil' Hammerheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937533318872228053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726049806855832871.post-12309666057336981002008-04-10T18:33:00.000+10:002008-04-10T18:33:00.000+10:00Having their jobs upon returning doesn't seem to b...Having their jobs upon returning doesn't seem to be a problem but adding 30 some new recruits along with paying the ones leaving would be a load for any department.glend558https://www.blogger.com/profile/17230710369170158416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726049806855832871.post-37624520172082352008-04-10T17:45:00.000+10:002008-04-10T17:45:00.000+10:00I don't know about the reservists working for DPS ...I don't know about the reservists working for DPS or other gov't agencies, Glen. <BR/><BR/>Common sense (sorry Ambrose) would dictate they are put on admin leave and return to their old post when they are mustered out of active duty.<BR/><BR/>I seem to remember that Rep. Yumal was on the Legislative payroll the whole time he was serving in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>I know there is a National Guard coalition that has signed up some local businesses into a group with a code of ethics requiring members to keep a job open for the returning reservists in their employ.<BR/><BR/>A bigger question is how the heck will they maintain a working force with that many officers leaving at one time. That is a sizable percentage of the entire force.Bruce A. Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804747424525560858noreply@blogger.com
