BUDGET FUNCTION
The Waterford Police Department is a 24-hour, 7-day a week and 365 days per year public
safety and community outreach agency. As the police department is staffed around the clock,
we are able to assist other agencies with their needs while also serving in a law enforcement
capacity.
The police department employs 49 sworn officers, 17 part-time Community Service Officers, 5
support staff personnel and 1 custodian.
The Animal Control Officer program is a split cost with the Town of East Lyme and employs two
full-time Animal Control Officers.

BUDGET SUMMARY
The Waterford Police Department prides itself as being an integral part of the town and our
municipal government. Our agency is passionate about community outreach and engagement,
strengthening our relationships with the community we serve and delivering high quality police
services. We work closely with other town departments and the Board of Education in an effort
to make Waterford a safe place to live, work and visit.
As the police department attempts to be completely transparent in the presentation of our
budget request, the following factors are critical elements to consider this year:
This year’s request is an increase of 4.66% from last year. This increase is primarily driven by
the request to increase the size of the department from 49 sworn officers to 52 sworn officers.
The overall cost to this budget request for the addition of three new officers is $262,773.
Without this increase, our annual request would be 0.81% as we reduced in every area that
was reasonable, to focus on the staffing increase request.
On May 8, 2023, the Board of Police Commissioners approved the request from Chief
Balestracci to increase the size of the department by three officers. On May 10, 2023, a formal
request was submitted to the First Selectman’s office detailing the request. This increase, if
approved, factors into several line items as it impacts salary, equipment, training and benefits.
The back-up information referencing the need and initial costs for this increase have been
included with this year’s budget request to ensure full transparency as it is being reviewed. (See
attachments following this summary)
In addition, the collective bargaining agreement between the Waterford Police Union and the
Town of Waterford was approved by the Representative Town Meeting (RTM) on November
14, 2022. This agreement impacts this year’s budget request by representing a wage increase
for every Waterford Police Officer of 2.75% effective July 1, 2024.
The collective bargaining agreement between the civilian staff who work at the police
department and the Town of Waterford was approved by the Representative Town Meeting
(RTM) on November 14, 2022. This agreement also impacts this year’s budget request by
representing a wage increase for every civilian employee of 2.75% effective July 1, 2024.

These wage increases, approved by the RTM, in addition to the hiring of three new officers
cause the F.I.C.A. line item request to rise by $23,508.
To summarize, the 51000 series increase in our budget request is $326,309, whereas the 52000
series increased $16,444, the 53000 series decreased $17,126 and the 54000 series was
reduced to SO,
Other high profile items in the budget request are explained below:
Replacement Overtime: The replacement overtime request in the police department budget
has been flat since the 2018-2019 request. Although each officer who needs to be replaced has
received contractual increases of a combined 11.75% in the past five years, and has also
received step increases from the same agreements, we have artificially held the line flat in an
attempt to present a stable budget. The line was increased in this year’s request to allow us
the ability to fill an additional 50 vacant shifts (at Officer 1 pay rate), as we routinely staff below
the needed level. (see page 25)
Vehicle Maintenance and Repairs: Our department has faced significant challenges with our
fleet. Not only does it take between 12-24 months to acquire a new vehicle when needed and
approved, but the vehicles we do have are in need of constant repair. The strain on our
vehicles when others are out of service or delayed in being replaced, compounds the challenges
and results in additional repairs and maintenance. We have increased the vehicle maintenance
and repair line items after considerable review of past spending, current trends and forecasted
availability.
Equipment: Our agency continues to need updates in various areas, however we have reduced
this line to zero this year as we prioritize staffing requests.
Board of Education Agreement: In an agreement between the Waterford Police Department
and the Waterford Board of Education, the School! Resource Officer program will see modest
increases in funding from the BOE. In 2024-2025, the department will receive $57,500 to offset
the School Resource Officer positions and an additional $11,500 to offset the police services
requested at school functions and sporting events. This is an increase to the department of
$3,000 from the previous year. This transfer of funding is listed in the Training Wages line
(51830). Although this funding supports the SRO program, it does not cover the cost of two
full-time officers nor does it accurately portray the dedicated security our agency provides to
every school throughout the year. As this is the final year of the agreement, and we anticipate

changes to the School Resource Officer program, a new agreement with the Board of Education
will be negotiated in the near future.

manage several major concerns, most notably traffic enforcement and school safety,
The Waterford Pollee Department is currently authorized forty-nine (49) sworn officers. Since the mid 1980's, our
department has only Increased In size by two (2) officers. The department, which remalns one of the busler
departments In eastern Connecticut, has an incredibly positive relatlonship with the community, handles calls for
service Ina professional manner and makes every effort to prevent, Interrupt and solve crime in our jurisdiction,
As our department manages the changlng laws in the State of Connecticut and the Impact of those laws on how
pollce officers work to reduce criminal and motar vehicle violations, we are also planning and preparing for the
future needs of our community, Over the past year and a half, we have reviewed policies, procedures,
assignments, staffing and long standing challenges In our community, For many years, wo have continued to shift
patrol officers from thelr main function In an attempt to positively Impact school safety and traffic concerns In
town, Those efforts have not resulted In long lasting results and have reduced effectiveness In other areas, of
which patrol officers should be focused on. Although Waterford Is a safe town to live, worlcand visit, the
residents have also made It clear that school safety and motor vehicle enforcement are priorities,
Beyond the school safety anc! traffic concerns, our department Is planning for the significant amount of
development currently being constructed and other projects that are approved and will likely be built In the
followlng areas:

WATERPORD POLICE DEPARTMENT
41 AVERY LANE
WATBREORD, CT 06385-2819
Mare Balestraced (860) 442-045) TEL
Police Chief mbalestracel@waterfordeturg
® Approximately 400 apartments on Willetts Avenue and approximately 400 apartments on Hartfard

¢ — Latge commercial projects on Hartford Turnpike, Oll Mill Road and potential redevelopment at the site of
the Crystal Mall
© Varlous other proposed projects In town to Include a potential multicultural magnet schoal on Dantels
Ave.
Therefore, lam respectfully requesting an increase to the police clepartment by three (3) sworn pollce officers, If
approved, this Increase will allow the department to Improve in both schaol safely and Waffle enforcoment as we
plan to add another School Resource Officer assignment and form a much needed traffle unl,
‘The new School Resource Officer will complement our current staffing of two (2), which will Increase our presence
Inall Waterford Schools, In additlon, two officers will be assigned to work with our current Traffic Officer to form
an effective traffic unit. The officers assigned to the traffic unt will focus on motor vehicle enforcement such as
speading, distracted driving, Impalred driving, reckless driving and traffic crashes, reducing patrol's heavy tasking
in those areas and allowing them to prioritize calls for service and criminal activity,
As you know, the recruitment, hiring, traning and certification process for police officers can take between six (6)
to elghteen (18) months to complete, Due to thls extended process, |am sceltng authorization of the Increase In
sworn offloers as soon as practicable,
Inan attempt Lo be fully transparent, with current collective bargalning agreement consideratlons, this request
would Increase the operating budget for the police department in FY24 by approximately $234,000 If fully
approved and funded, The Pollce Union CDA states that salarles for police officers will Increase by 2.75% each
year until the end of the contract,
Jagaln thank you for your support of all publle safety efforts In Waterford and appreciate any consideration of this
request,

Excerpts from the Uniform Crime Report
“The requirements for law enforcement service vary greatly from one locale to another based
upon each jurisdiction’s unique demographic traits and characteristics. A small community
situated between two larger cities, for example, may require a greater number of law
enforcement personnel than a community of the same size that has no urban center nearby.
Similarly, the needs of a community having a highly mobile or seasonal population may be very
different from those of a city with a relatively stable population. A community that incorporates
legal gambling establishments will have different law enforcement challengers than one in which
the presence of a large military base is the dominant influence, just as a small college town will
have different needs than one comprised predominantly of retirees.
“The functions of law enforcement are also significantly diverse throughout the Nation. The
responsibilities of state police and highway patrol agencies vary considerable from one
jurisdiction to another. Their duties range from traffic enforcement on state highways and
interstate roadways to major investigative responsibilities for all violent crimes committed
statewide. Nationally, the overall role of law enforcement continues to be expanded and
redefined in light of the constant threat from international and domestic terrorism. When
ampting any comparison of law enforcement employee rates, the data user must consider
these differing service requirements and responsibilities.
In view of these differing service requirements and responsibilities, care should be used when
attempting any comparison of law enforcement rates. The rates presented should be viewed as
guides or indicators, not as recommended or preferred police strengths. Adequate personnel for
a specific locale can be determined only after careful study and analysis of the various
conditions affecting service requirements in that jurisdiction.
New London County is home to 23 jurisdictions with a mix of organized police departments,
constabularies and state police coverage.
The latest Connecticut uniform Crime Reporting statistics places Waterford as one of the busier
police departments in New London County. While activity remains high, the Waterford Police
Department continues to have one of the highest crime solve rates in the county.
