Chief Nisleit says he wants 'civilianize' the department, as labor leaders say large raises are needed to fill those jobs.
The department has 32 dispatcher vacancies, 31 unfilled parking-enforcement officer jobs and 113 vacancies in investigative aide and resource officer jobs, according to the union, the Municipal Employees Association.
The problem is even more striking in the number of needed parking enforcement officers, where plans last spring to hire 20 more workers never materialized and vacancies have actually risen since then from five to 11, Zucchet said. The top two reasons cars get towed by San Diego police are issues that typically affect low-income people more than others, a recent audit found.
“We’re looking at ‘civilianization,’” he said. “We’re looking at trying to be more effective and more efficient on who does the work — but until those positions can be filled, the work still has to be completed.” Nisleit said some of the overtime can be attributed to a greater focus on violent crime and the vacancies among officers, which requires a smaller uniformed staff to cover more shifts.Opponents of the mandate hailed the end of the policy, which the police union blamed for the loss of more than 100 officers.
