Assessment of
Performance and Value
• Combining the data presented in both of these
evaluative materials, we believe that the police
department is providing high quality police services at
an acceptable level of efficiency and effectiveness.
• The University Police Department has proven its value
to the university community by continuing to fulfilling
its mission and goals, and holding firm to its vision and
values.
• It has proven that it is a good steward of the funds and
asks that the RCM Committee recognize this value by
funding its budget at the level necessary to continue
this level of service to the university community.
Effects of Any Reduction in Funding
• Primary source of funds affected would be salary dollars, as the
budget for other types of expenses is typically insufficient to
absorb cuts of any significant magnitude.
• Result in elimination of positions associated with each of the
major functions within the department including uniformed
patrol, community service, investigations, and training.
• Proactive services would be reduced or eliminated first in favor
of traditional reactive services.
• Police services limited to reactive functions only is not the
generally accepted standard of police departments within
universities having the size and makeup of the University of
Florida.
Increase to Base Budget
• The department requests that, at a minimum in the next
fiscal year, it be fully funded at the 90 officer benchmarked
standard as determined by the Florida legislature based on
a staffing needs assessment following the Danny Rolling
murders here in Gainesville in the early 1990’s. The total
cost for this addition is $401,672, and it is recurring.
• The department requests that the committee carefully
consider the following timeline of facts and make whatever
financial commitment it can, now and in the near future, to
fund an additional 8 law enforcement positions to
compensate for the increased demand placed on the
department since 1992. The recurring cost of this increase
is approximately $485,000, and startup expenses of
approximately $130,000.
