Such funds are not currently <br />budgeted in the General Fund operating budget of the Police Department in Fiscal Year 2017-18. <br />The Police Department recognizes the need for officer mental and physical wellness. The <br />department has 10% of its sworn workforce currently on a worker’s compensation related injury. <br />These sidelined officers directly impact staffing and service delivery levels, which has an adverse <br />impact on employee morale. Police Administration believes implementing a wellness program <br />designed specifically to address these types of job-related injuries will have two distinct benefits: <br />1) proactive injury prevention and education; and 2) positive impacts on officer morale. The <br />department also intends to send at least four officers to a conference focused on wellness and <br />job-related trauma for frontline personnel. The staff attending the conference will bring the lessons <br />learned back with them to enhance the CISM team’s knowledge related to handling stress, <br />especially from critical events. <br />The Police Department has an on-going need for storage of digital evidence that staff did not <br />anticipate. The SLPD Jail van needs to increase storage capacity to ensure footage is not <br />deleted due to storage limitations. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/10/2017 <br />61
