TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2023 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT
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 is a split cost with the Town of East Lyme.

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2023 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT
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 great place to live, work and visit.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has created challenges for law enforcement across the country, to
which Waterford is not exempt. As our agency developed new response methods in order to
maintain the high standards our community expects, our planning must ensure the ability to
maintain safe staffing levels as officers are required to quarantine for the safety of the public
and fellow officers.
In addition to the pandemic concerns, the State of Connecticut Police Accountability Bill has
mandated numerous actions, several of which create increased financial burdens to the
Waterford Police Department operating budget.
Waterford Police Officers, like every other officer in the state, must now submit to drug
screenings and mental health evaluations in order to remain certified as a police officer in the
State of Connecticut. These requirements, which are mandates, must be funded through the
police department’s operating budget. Currently, for each officer, the drug screening costs
$136.00 and must be completed every three years. The mental health evaluations for each
officer, costs $180.00 and must be completed every five years. These increases are reflected in
the professional fees line item found within this fiscal year budget request.
As the police department attempts to be completely transparent in the presentation of our
request, the following factors are critical elements to consider:
The collective bargaining agreement between the Waterford Police Union and the Town of
Waterford expires in June of 2022. Therefore, the wages used in this request represent the
wages from the agreement that is currently in place and set to expire.

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2023 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT
The collective bargaining agreement between the civilian staff who work at the police
department, Local 1303, also expires in June of 2022. Therefore, the wages used in this request
represent the wages from the agreement that is currently in place and set to expire.
Other major influences on this year’s request:
53090 Fuel & Lubricants 
Increase of $43,195 due to the town’s price guidelines for fuel
51420 Patrol 
Increase of $83,166 due to contractual step increases
51210 Clerical/Technical
Decrease of $53,722 due to IT personnel moved from police budget
52040 Service Contracts 
Decrease of $3,721 due to transfers from PD budget to IT budget
51435 CSO Program 
Decrease of $13,169 due to three year analysis of staffing
As we highlight the significant changes in the line items, we should also bring attention to a few
of the anticipated funding sources that the police department generates for the town. These
funds either supplement the police budget bringing an overall savings to the annual request or
go directly to the town’s general fund.
WPD Cruiser charge/road jobs 
$117,000 to the general fund
Pistol Permit fees 
$18,000 to the general fund
FOIA Fees 
$2,500 to the general fund
Fingerprinting services 
$3,165 to the general fund
DRE Grant 
$34,700 to offset police expenses
Impaired Driving Grant
$8,700 to offset police expenses
Board of Education Agreement
$63,000 to cover partial expense of SROs
Permitting and licensing
$9,500 to the general fund
Other high profile items in the budget request are explained below:
Training: The State of Connecticut Police Accountability Bill has had a major impact on policing
in Connecticut. Likewise, the Connecticut legislation on Cannabis has also resulted in mandated
training for all Connecticut police officers to remain certified in the state, (ARIDE). As more
topics become requirements for police training, we have kept the annual training cost at
approximately $750.00 per officer, per year.

Retirements: The police department has been impacted by numerous retirements in the past
few years. For a few, large-scale payouts are made due to contractual obligations, and must
come from the police department’s operating budget. Although there is the potential for
additional retirements in fiscal year 2022-2023, the payouts cannot be projected in the budget
request.
Criminal Activity: The crimes being investigated are becoming more regional in nature. Rather
than a local resident committing a local crime, our investigations are becoming more complex,
connected with more municipalities and even crossing state lines. These types of investigations
require significantly more time to investigate and demand partnering with various law
enforcement agencies.
Replacement Overtime: This line item has remained flat for a few years. Although the
collective bargaining agreements approved by the town increase rates of pay, we have held this
line item in an attempt to stabilize the budget requests. Although the line item appears stable,
it is artificially flat as the cost to replace an officer out sick, away on personal time or required
to quarantine, has risen during the years. This effort has caused staffing levels to be below full
complement.
Community Service Officers: The Community Service Officer program nol only benefils the
residents when entering the police department seeking direction, but it allows the higher paid
officer to remain on the road while they process prisoners, secure property and monitor the
building and prisoners being held. As the East Lyme Police Department is anticipated to end its
use of the Waterford Police Department building in 2022, this program continues to be a
significant cost savings to the town by having them working, rather than a high-paid officer
restricted to the building.
The Waterford Police Department works to present a stable budget. As 91% of our budget
involves personnel in collective bargaining agreements approved by town boards, a flat budget
request is not feasible. That being said, we closely analyze all expenditures each year and look
for ways to find savings when possible.

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 on in which
the presence of a large military base is the dominant influence, jus 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
-attempting any comparison of law enforcement employee rates, the data user must consider
_nese 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 the fourth busiest
police department in New London County behind the cities of New London,Norwich and Groton.
While activity remains high the Waterford Police Department doubles the county average and
almost triples the state average when it comes to solving crime.

The Waterford Police Department employs (17) seventeen Community Service Officers (CSOs) in a part-time
capacity. CSOs monitor the police building, are the first point of contact for complainants in the lobby and
process and watch prisoners brought to the department by police officers. CSOs are scheduled 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, 365 days a year. The CSO program has been in place since the 1990s, serving as a low-cost on-
the-job training for potential law enforcement officers, allowing sworn higher paid officers to remain on patrol.
Several CSOs have been hired after performing well in the part-time role.
The average pay per CSO is currently $15.79 per hour. When a new CSO is hired, they require approximately
(9) nine training shifts as well as mandated training such as COLLECT, CPR and Naloxone deployment. These
additional shifts equal (72) Seventy-two hours per CSO. In addition, semi-annual training for (4) four hours per
CSO is held for updates in policy, law and defensive tactic training.
The total request for Community Service Officers is $123,688. This request is a $13,169.00 reduction from the
2021-2022 budget. In an attempt to remain fiscally responsible and transparent, we conducted a three (3) year
review of staffing ability, required shifts and budgeting priorities to bring this line item in at the current request.

Replacement overtime figures were reached after researching the number of shifts replaced in the previous (3)
three fiscal years. Weekends are the police department's busiest times; we staff these at five Officers. As stated
in the 2000 Long Range Financial Management Plan our full complement is 5 Officers and a Supervisor per shift,
yet we often run under that amount to stay within the budget.
**Ail employees wages are computed out of 21-22 wage scale due to no collective bargaining agreement
being in place at time of submission.**

This line item covers the mandatory Connecticut Police Officers Standards and Training requirements. The POST
mandated core curriculum training requires a minimum of 60 hours of training per officer during a three-year cycle. The
Police Accountability Bill outlined additional mandatory trainings for sworn officers, some which must be conducted
annually. The Law Enforcement Council provides 40 of the required 60 hours, leaving the department to train an
additional 20 hours per officer. This requirement also applies to the supervisors and administrative staff. POST has
significantly reduced training and as a result, efforts to obtain the required training is being hosted at the department or
sought throughout the state.
This line item includes the mandatory trainings; COLLECT/NCIC training and certification, OSHA mandates, CPR
- training, Crisis Intervention, Advanced DUI, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement, Human Trafficking,
Use of Force, Sexual Assault, Juvenile Crimes, Bigotry/Bias, Implicit Bias, Fair & Impartial Policing, Domestic Violence,
Cultural Awareness, Citizen’s with Special Needs, Procedural Justice training and others. Also included is firearms
training to include pistols and patrol rifles, as well as specialized trainings for assigned and promoted officers.
