receives a certification from the Law Enforcement Academy; behind Hobbs, Farmington, Las

We have come up with a retention bonus to award long-standing employees in the form of a
deferred compensation allotment bonus. After each successful year of employment with the
Santa Fe Police Department, we are proposing a lump sum deposit into an employees deferred
[19]
compensation account. Based on years of service with the Santa Fe Police Department, each year
employees would receive:
5-9 years of service- $500,
10-14 years of service- $1,000,
15-19yearsofservice-$1,500,
20-24 years of service- $2,000,
25 or more years of service- $3,000

on our number of sworn officers as of August are as follows:

see an increase in their net check of approximately 4% depending on their selections with regard
to required and elected deductions.

As we continue in our pursuit of providing the citizens of Santa Fe with the highest level of

RE: enefits of 5/8 hour shifts as opposed to 4/10 hour shifts
In late 2010 it became evident that the Santa Fe Police Department was unable to maintain minimum
staffing levels on patrol shifts, and that the overtime budget was being heavily impacted by the need to
call in off-duty personnel at time and one half pay, just to meet minimum staffing levels. It also became
apparent that due to manpower shortages, the Department was unable to focus resources on
addressing dramatic increases in property crimes. In fact, the number of property crimes had risen so
dramatically that the City of Santa Fe was rated as having the second highest property crime rate in the
nation according to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) statistics.
Given the situation, then Chief Aric Wheeler, conducted an analysis of the department's work schedules
in an effort to identify the most efficient scheduling and reduce overtime. The evaluation determined
that while four (4) ten hour shifts were popular with staff because it allows three (3) days off, that the
two (2) most efficient work schedules for police operations are:
1. The five (5) eight hour shift schedule traditionally used by law enforcement
2. Or, twelve (12) hour shift schedules with rotating days off
On identifying the most efficient work schedule, Chief Wheeler began implementation of a change in
work schedules and notified the Santa Fe Police Officers Association (SFPOA) of his intent to change the
work schedule in accordance with the City of Santa Fe/SFPOA collective bargaining agreement. The
collective bargaining agreement sets the department's work schedule as being either five (5) eight hour
days or four (4) ten hour shifts, to be determined by the Chief of Police. In any case, the SFPOA
objected to considering the twelve hour shifts citing concerns of exhaustion on the part of officers
working a 12-hour schedule. Chief Wheeler then began moving toward implementing the five (5) eight
(B) hour work schedule but stepped down prior to full implementation in late March 2011.
Following my appointment as Interim Chief of Police on March 23, 20111 directed a second analysis of
the shift schedules to verify the accuracy of the previous analysis and came to the same conclusions. As
such, notification was given to the SFPOA that the five (8) hour schedule was to be implemented. In
SS001.PM5 - 7/95
response, the SFPOA filed a grievance objecting to a change in work schedules which went to
arbitration. The arbitration ruling sustained the Chiefs ability to implement changes in shift schedules
and concluded that the language contained in the contract recognized the five (5) eight hour work
schedule as legitimate and within the parameters of the agreement. The SFPOA responded by appealing
the arbitrators decision to State District Court where the results of the arbitrator's findings were upheld.
The change in shift schedule was subsequently implemented in June 2011.
Since the implementation of the five {5) eight {8) work schedule, the department has succeeded in
achieving the following results:
Field 29.63% more officers in a twenty four {24) hour period (based on minimum staffing levels).
Establish overlap periods during high call volume periods to better service calls.
Increase the total number of hours worked by Officers in the Patrol division from 147,427.63
under the four {4) ten {10) shift to 149,079.29 for an increase of 1,651.66 hours (the equivalent
of 1.02 extra officers).
Reduce overtime expenditures by 11% for the year after being implemented for a savings of
approximately 106,000.00.
And, most importantly the shift schedule change has allowed the department to focus on
property crimes with on-duty personnel and personnel on overtime to conduct targeted patrols
that have reduced the numbers of property crimes by 38% from previous years.
In summary, the data compiled since the implementation of the five (5) eight (8) hour work schedule
clearly shows that the department has become more efficient and effective in the use of available
manpower, the expenditure of fiscal resources, and in our ability to focus on burglary prevention and
the apprehension of the perpetrators of property crimes.
