According to a tip last week, we learned of a an “extra duty” program that is sometimes given to police officers in their time off. For instance it could be for various groups event who contract with the city, it could be for patrolling apartment complexes for four hours at a time when they have had problems with parties. Some officers like to pick up the extra work, some do not.
The groups who request the extra duty officer get sent an invoice and the officer gets paid time and a half. The city accounts for this under program number 5619–everything listed under 5619 is being paid by sources other than city money.
It turns out, roughly $70,000 of that $627,000 in overtime is not paid for by the city but rather by these private groups.
Of the officers on our 100K of Davis list, the following officers received 5619 money:
Douglas Bates received $22,338.36 of his $56,959.39 OT from 5619
Glen Glasgow received $1,612.86 of $21,487.22 OT from 5619
Darren Pytel received all of his $1426.12 OT from 5619
Paul Doroshov received $734.57 of his $20,765.48 OT from 5619
Scott Smith received $14,426 of his $37,333.13 OT from 5619

Anonymous: I think you are being overly sensitive. This is simply an update to last week’s report which takes into account a certain proportion of the OT expenditures was not coming from city coffers. This is for informational purposes only and only to complete the picture presented last week.

I think that people are thinking about the tremendous loss of Officer Narr last weekend. He was a really good officer, definitely one of the best we have in the city. His death is so very sad and my heart goes out to his family and fellow officers and staff at the Davis Police Department.

I definitely agree. Horribly tragic situation, Officer Narr, I had met him a few times, always extremely nice.

Doug Paul Davis , can you or would you BLOG something positive ? Step away from your current path of finding negative stories ,put something on here your Mom ,Lois Lane ,Clark Kent , would be proud to hear of and read . People really are attracted for instance to, Bob Dunning ,he speaks his mind , does his homework ,probably walks in there shoes at least a mile before making pen to the paper, so what have you got to lose , is your current path working for you now ?

I don’t know why this is a negative story, but I suppose it would be difficult having a “vivid description of the DARK unbelly” of Davis is my head was buried in the sand…

And also Dunning rarely does his homework, as I’ve discovered.
For example on August 5:
“A NEW IRRITATING RITUAL … for reasons unknown, they’re now doing ” roll call ” votes at City Council meetings … I liked it much better when they would all mutter “aye” or “nay” and we were left to wonder which way each of them voted … a little mystery is always good in life … “
There was a reason why they did the roll call that week–Lamar was participating via the phone and according to Harriet Steiner, the Brown Act requires a roll call vote under those circumstances. Heck Dunning didn’t even have to do his homework, just pay attention to the beginning of the meeting.

If the police want to work extra hours for private entities, more power to ’em! I am more concerned with the reason it is necessary for public safety sector employees to put in so much overtime the city pays for. It may be perfectly legitimate and necessary, but I sure would like to know – especially in light of the latest revelations about how the fire dept operates.

Curious: That was exactly the point of me running this story, showing that some of the OT for the police is not coming at city expense. That’s why i don’t quite understand the criticism that I am being negative here. I was clarifying the issue.
One thing I think the city is going to look into is whether it is more cost effective to pay for OT which is time and a half or it is more cost effective to hire more employees. Basically there has to come a point when the extra cost from OT is more costly then the benefits for a new employee, and I don’t know the math on that.

The added pension costs for more police officers would probably blow away the overtime pay. It might be more cost effective to pay the overtime and maintain a smaller police force.

The Police Department is in need of approximately 6 officers. I know the city is strapped for money right now, but I hope we can find the money in the near future to help them meet their needs.
I don’t think the story is negative at all. Thank you DPD.

Just Curious?
What makes you think the Davis Police department “needs” 6 more officers. That may be true but it also may be a myth. Is there some sort of real evidence that supports more staff or is it more of a “want to have” like prop 6.

The police chief reorganized the department last year and it is clear that there is a need to hire more officers in order to fully cover the shifts and needed services. This plan, to be implemented in several phases over several years, was well-received by the City Council and the community.
You can see the plan on the Department’s website.

hey DPD, did you happen to attend Officer Narr’s funeral yesterday afternoon? it was close and in town. There were many things said there by family and co-workers about the DPD that you surely could have used to continue to bash the DPD with. Oh boy, you sure missed a good opportunity there!

You didn’t see me? I stood in the back the entire time. Tough service. I especially liked Scott Smith’s stories.
