Let the poaching games begin. 🚓 National City's bonus is the most lucrative for police academy graduates or existing police officers in San Diego County, paying up to $30,000. 👮
It’s the most lucrative of such bonuses for police academy graduates or existing police officers in San Diego County. Morrison said it’s money well-spent, given it costs $75,000 a year to send a new hire to academy.Even if they do, the mayor said graduates still need supervision and training on the job before they’re ready for patrol. A lateral transfer has a much shorter transition.
“You’ve saved probably at least a couple hundred thousand dollars in training to bring up a person from scratch,” said Morrison.Right now, the mayor said they have two openings, but a number of retirements are looming — it's problem that’s plagued other agencies. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department recently launched a major ad campaign in hopes of recruiting new blood. The county is short hundreds of deputy positions.“I know that it seems like we’re really busy," said San Diego Police Lt. Adam Sharki in an interview with NBC 7 regarding last week's."We are. We’re short a couple hundred officers in the City of San Diego.”
There are now seven police agencies in San Diego County offering a lateral hiring bonus, though none are as big as National City’s. Plus, their bonus comes with one of the highest starting officer salaries in the county: from $85,000 to $108,000 a year. “If you’re paying less," said Morrison."If you’re farther down on the scale, you’re not going to get the kind of officers you really want.”
