The study is going to cost more than an officer's salary. Can this administration do anything at all without a study or a committee?

quote:

As they agreed to study Baton Rouge Police Department pay and benefits, city-parish officials said Wednesday they hope the review will result in higher pay for police officers, fewer overtime hours worked and more time for police to spend with family.

BRPD starting salaries are lower than the cost of the study.

Starting pay for Baton Rouge police officers is $33,968 a year once they have completed a training academy and are six months into their job. The review of their pay, benefits, incentives and more will cost City Hall $39,500.


And you gotta love this little dig. What exactly is Chauna trying to say here? She wants more or they should have less?

quote:

Chauna Banks called it a “sweet deal” for police to accumulate base pay, overtime pay and extra duty dollars while they also use their police vehicles.

“I have police friends; they live in much nicer houses than me with RVs,” Banks said..

The problem is OT abuse and low starting wages. They need to raise the base pay and cap overtime at 10 hours/week barring a crisis situation like a flood. They should use the higher base pay to hire more officers so they don't have to work as much OT. There is a straight up OT scam going on with municipal employees using it to rack up massive paychecks and an even bigger retirement pension. It's straight up fraud. No human beings could possibly be working the hours claimed in some of these payroll audits. They're stealing, double-dipping, or both.

And they wonder why they can’t attract quality recruits. Nobody educated and capable is going to start out at 33k a year.

Not agreeing or disagreeing but BRPD is one of the few places where OT has an effect on retirement.

We need to start a study task force to study just how these studies are conducted.


Lunch will be provided.

What exactly does Chauna Banks do for a living? Because I guarantee you BRPD is paid less then her to deal with her constituents’ daily bullshite.

BRPD should get at least a $7k raise. They’re not competitive in the least. EBRSO or BRPD will have to cough up the funds soon enough, because they’re both working with skeleton staffs and horrible equipment.

Why is it always police and teachers that aren’t getting their proper and deserved compensation? I’ve seen this my entire life and I really don’t get it.
