NOTES:
1. For projection purposes, it is assumed that sworn hiring will counteract attrition of 495 and add 249 officers to attain a
force of 9,750, including 104 officers funded by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Agency
(LACMTA). Sworn attrition assumptions factor in the impacts of DROP. For civilian staffing, it is assumed that hiring will
counteract 288 out of 288 anticipated separations.
2. Salary adjustment for civilians and sworn employees are based on adopted Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or
MOUs pending adoption. For these purposes, no salary adjustments beyond those negotiated to date are included in
the annual cost. If salary adjustments are made, the increase in cost is compounded in future years.
3. Projecting the source of funds for on-going years is not possible as State and Federal grants fluctuate significantly over
time. It is assumed, however, that the majority of these costs will be a General Fund expense except those reimbursed
by the LACMTA for 104 sworn officers ($6.7 million) and 26 civilians ($1.14 million) and the Local Public Safety Fund
($45.12 million) for 372 sworn officers.
4. Funding required is for direct costs only and does not include increased funding levels that would be required for
benefits.
