Assessment of Performance and Value
Combining the data presented in both of these evaluative materials, we believe that the police department is providing high quality police services at an acceptable level of efficiency and effectiveness.
The University Police Department has proven its value to the university community by continuing to fulfilling its mission and goals, and holding firm to its vision and values.
It has proven that it is a good steward of the funds and asks that the RCM Committee recognize this value by funding its budget at the level necessary to continue this level of service to the university community.
Effects of Any Reduction in Funding
• • • • Primary source of funds affected would be salary dollars, as the budget for other types of expenses is typically insufficient to absorb cuts of any significant magnitude.
Result in elimination of positions associated with each of the major functions within the department including uniformed patrol, community service, investigations, and training.
Proactive services would be reduced or eliminated first in favor of traditional reactive services.
Police services limited to reactive functions only is not the generally accepted standard of police departments within universities having the size and makeup of the University of Florida.
Increase to Base Budget
• • The department requests that, at a minimum in the next fiscal year, it be fully funded at the 90 officer benchmarked standard as determined by the Florida legislature based on a staffing needs assessment following the Danny Rolling murders here in Gainesville in the early 1990’s. The total cost for this addition is $401,672, and it is recurring.
The department requests that the committee carefully consider the following timeline of facts and make whatever financial commitment it can, now and in the near future, to fund an additional 8 law enforcement positions to compensate for the increased demand placed on the department since 1992. The recurring cost of this increase is approximately $485,000, and startup expenses of approximately $130,000.
