Department Budget Summary

The Police Department’s FY 2025-2026 budget totals $30,532,097, an increase of 10.65% over the prior
year. The rise is primarily due to higher personnel and operating costs that support expanded patrol
services, enhanced training, and specialized enforcement programs. Personnel expenses increased
10.18%, reflecting targeted salary adjustments for public safety officers, while operating costs grew 13.78%
due to software upgrades, vehicle maintenance, and uniforms and equipment for new personnel. The
Police Department increased by five Patrol Officers during the FY26 budget process. Mid-year FY25, an IT
specialist position was moved from the Fire Department to the Police Department, resulting in a net
addition of six FTEs. Personnel realignments, such as the addition of a K-9 officer, contributed to
individual division increases. The Task Force budget was increased to more accurately reflect anticipated
expenditures, which are partially reimbursed through grant funding. The budget reinforces the
department’s commitment to public safety, operational readiness, and community engagement
through investments in personnel, training, and modern policing resources.
