Officers are responsible for the remainder of their equipment and uniform. The handgun issued is either Glock model 22 or 23. Both are .40 caliber. The cost of uniform maintenance is borne by the individual. There are a variety of plans from which to choose and include dental, orthodontic, and vision coverage.
Coverage begins on the first day of the next month after an officer is hired.
Employees receive 12 holidays off per year with pay. Because the Department provides police services 24 hours a day every day of the year, officers are sometimes required to work holidays. If they work a holiday, they may then schedule another day off with pay. On certain holidays officers are compensated at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay. Sick leave accrues at approximately one day per full month worked and may be used to care for parents, spouses, and children under age 18.
