officer is not. This allows for 14-18 hours of coverage where there are three <br />officers on duty. (Please note that by scheduling this way, this second Orono <br />officer must also cover the city of Long Lake. We are not scheduling this "extra" <br />officer during the heavy periods but attempting to stretch the coverage as far as <br />possible.) <br />An example of a typical 24 liour schedule would show: <br />Tam to 1 lam: 1 Orono officer covering 90% of the area <br />1 Spring Park officer <br />11 am to 3 pm: <br />3 pm to 3 am: <br />3 am to 7 am: <br />2 Orono officers covering 45% of the area each <br />(includmg Long Lake) <br />1 Spring Park officer <br />1 Orono officer covering 80% of the area <br />1 Long Lake officer covering 10% of the area * <br />1 Spring Park officer covering 10% of ;he area <br />1 Orono officer covering 90% of the area <br />1 Spring Park officer covering 10% of the area <br />* During this 12 hour time span, we routinely assign an officer in Long Lake. <br />Two of these hours are technically Orono's, however, due to the activity level of <br />these hours, we do pull the Long Lake officer out of Long Lake to assist in Orono. <br />Part-Time Officers <br />We currently have four (4) part-time officers who are used to fill in shifts of <br />regular officers in lieu of overtime. They are not used for added patrol coverage. <br />This is due in part to the number of eight hour shifts a regular officer is available to <br />work. (One regular employee is assigned to work 2080 hours per year, or 260 eight <br />hour shifts per year. Because of state required training, vacations, sick leave, etc., <br />an average officer is available for 209 shifts.) The part-time officers and overtime <br />are used to cover the missing 51 shifts per officer. In 1998, for example, the part- <br />time officers covered a total of 306 8 hour shifts. Overtime, comp time, and other <br />shift adjustments accounted for the remainder of the needed shifts. Please bear in <br />mind that we also must cover the added shifts of the officers as«‘igned to tne <br />contract cities. (To give the reader an klea, we need to cover approximately 612 8 <br />hour shifts during a normal year, 12 officers times 51 shifts per year.) The part- <br />time officers cover half of the needed overtime at about one-third of the cost. In <br />1998, the total cost for part-time officers was $33,393. The overtime cost was
