Police Department
FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET
Town of Waterford
BUDGET FUNCTION
24/7/365 public safety and community outreach agency. As the Police
(
~“rne Waterford Police Department is
k, we are able to assist other agencies with their needs.
Department is staffed around the cloc
ent employs 49 sworn officers, 17 part time Community Service Officers, 5 support staff
The Police Departm
personnel and 1 custodian.
The Animal Control Officer is a split cost with the Town of East Lyme.

Police Department
Fiscal Year 2022
Town of Waterford
FY2022 BUDGET SUMMARY
The Waterford Police Department prides itself on being an integral part of our town, and our municipal
government. We strive to be more than just a professional police agency, we do everything we can to
assist all town departments and the board of education in delivering any services that make our town a
better place to live and visit.
This year has been a trying one for the police department. COVID-19 brought special considerations
that we have never dealt with. While still dealing with COVID-19, the death of George Floyd in
Minneapolis brought intense scrutiny to police departments across the country, the Waterford,
Connecticut Police Department is no different. What makes Connecticut far different from other parts
of the country is state legislation - the first in the country - that mandates how police officers train for
and react to nuanced use of force situations and mental health calis that we deal with daily.
The Board of Police Commissioners, at its meeting held on November 16 2020, approved the FY
2021/2022 budget for the Waterford Police Department and hereby submits it to the Board of
Selectmen for consideration. Important numbers for this year’s budget;
1303 employees budget increase - two years retroactively 
2.25%
Training budget increase - payroll/education 
20.83%/15.23%
Retired Officers - calendar year 2019-2020 
8
Items removed from WPD budget - Electricity, Fuel Oil, Water and 
$89,200
Sewer, Building maintenance 
'
East Lyme Police cell block and evidence storage charge (general fund) 
$50,950
School Resource Officer reimbursement from BOE (applied to training) 
$50,000
Road construction cruiser rental fees (general fund) 
$79,650
This budget represents a 1.05% increase over last year’s request, explained below. If the money that
East Lyme Police gives Waterford for prisoner services, and the police cruisers rental for construction
jobs was funded directly to the Police Department budget, our request would be -1.3 %.
The Police Department never closes; as part of emergency services for the Town of Waterford we are
open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Our staff is always present, with a
supervisor on at all times. The police building is always open, our vehicles run constantly, and we
have a never-ending need for information technology. Changes in legislation over the year’s mandate
recording of racial makeup on traffic stops, in car and body cameras, and recording use of force
incidents, all of which use computers.
Some of the higher profile requests in this year’s budget request are explained below;
Training: This legislation is not resolved as we write this, leaving the police in an untenable position -
we have increased our training budget by 20.83% for training wages and 15.23% for training tuition,
due to yet another unfunded mandate set forth by the state legislature. Training offered by the Police
Officer Standards and Training Council is minimal, but the “Police Accountability Bill” mandates that all
officers train in de-escalation, fair and impartial policing, crowd control, implicit bias and liability, as
well as body cameras, then continue that training annually. Private training vendors have rushed to fill
this void, increasing training rates dramatically. The WPD had several in-house trainers retire last
year; those roles have to be filled with younger officers, who have to train to that standard.
Regardless of legislation, the Waterford Police Department has always made staying ahead of the
curve paramount when training its officers. Trained and educated officers make better decisions,
which is why our officers use force sparingly and appropriately, resulting in very few civilian complaints
against our department.

$302.00
Requested training cost per officer, 2020-2021 
$750.00
Retirements: During the previous calendar year, Waterford had eight veteran officers retire. For
several, this led to large-scale retirement payouts that come directly from our operating budget. We
expect to have two officers with large payouts retire this upcoming fiscal year, but cannot project this
in this budget. As Waterford trains with many in house personnel, this leaves training and experience
gaps for firearms, accident investigation, marine patrol and other areas that younger less experienced
officers need to train to fill.
Law changes: Changes in legislation affecting search warrants, juvenile laws, and search and seizure
have fed to an increase in crime in our community. Car thefts and thefts from cars have increased
dramatically.
Animal Control: Up 100%. The Finance Director will have further information regarding this account.
Waterford and East Lyme have operated as a multi town animal control for decades. This account has
been in deficit for several years as the $30,000 does not cover the salary and expenses we split with
East Lyme.
Animal Control Officer salary FY 2019 
$55,924
Animal Control Officer salary FY 2020 
$56,582
Our series changes (up and Down) are expiained below:
51000 series, representing roughly 90% of the Police Department’s budget, is up 2.03% due to
contractual raises and contractual pay grade step increases. The replacement overtime line item has
remained the same from last year, despite slep increases, and the regular overtime line item is up
0.02% from last year’s request.
52000 series, the Training and Education line item increased by 1.8%, the largest area is due to PPE
needs for the COVID-19 pandemic in the OSHA line item. Training has gone up 15.23% due to new
legislation.
53000 series, decreased by 6.57%, due to gasoline prices being lower this year. It should be noted
that the Animal Control went up 100%, a $30,000 increase.
54000 series, this line is up by 84.01%. This line item varies yearly depending on items requested.
This year we are proposing to replace cameras in the cell block, shields for civil unrest, and a laptop
computer for roll call.
The Police Department works to present a stable budget. As 89% of our budget invoives personnel in
currently agreed to union contracts; a zero percent budget is not feasible. This year the State
legislature made sweeping changes to the way police conduct themselves and train, without planning
for the financial ramifications this will cause municipalities. This puts the Waterford Police Department
in a position of meeting legisiative standards without knowing the compiete costs of that mandate.
We are a community based and community involved police agency - we care deeply for the town we
serve and ensure that our standards of conduct reflect accordingly.

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 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 the third busiest
police department in New London County behind the cities of New London and Norwich. 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 seventeen Community Service Officers (CSOs) in a part-time capacity.
CSO's monitor the police building, are the first point of contact for complainants, and process and watch prisoners
brought to the department by Police Officers for litigation purposes. CSO's are scheduled 24/7/3665, totaling 168
hours per week or 8.736 hours 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 return to
patrol immediately, and WPD administration the ability to monitor the CSO's job performance. Several current
WPD officers were hired after performing well as CSOs.
The average pay per CSO is currently $15.26 per hour, totaling $133.311 for the year. When.a new CSO is
hired, they require approximately 9 shifts of training as well as a state mandated 3 day COLLECT training.
These additional shifts equal 96 hours per hired CSO. In addition, periodic training to ensure compliance
with. changing police standards and policies is necessary. A quarterly training of 4 hours per 17 CSOs, totaling
68 hours is requested.

Replacement overtime figures were reached after researching the number of shifts replaced in FY 2020-21.
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.

Line Item 10129-51830 TRAINING WAGES

officer. This requirement also applies fo 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.
Included in this line item is COLLECT/NCIC training and certification, OSHA mandates, CPR training, Advanced Impaired
Driving training and others. Also included is firearms training to include pistols and patrol rifles.
