Challenges:
As staffing levels decrease the following challenges occur:
 Meeting minimum staffing levels for everyday patrol
functions, let alone when an emergency situation occurs
that requires the deployment of multiple units to a scene
 Impacts the Department’s ability to continue to be a
proactive rather than reactive Police Department
 Results in an increased span of control for Sergeants and
Lieutenants
City of Modesto

Police Department
Challenges Continued…
 Results in making the Department more reliant on outside
sources to continue to fund police officers – without this
revenue, positions either have to be absorbed by the General
Fund or lost
 Decreased staffing in Investigative Services results in
redeployment of staffing to focus on violent crimes vs.
economic crimes
 Results in merging of job functions which continues to
increase employee responsibilities and scope of work
