SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a contract with the San Francisco Police Officers Association to deal with a significant staffing shortage.  

The contract will help recruit new officers by making San Francisco have the highest paid entry-level salary for larger cities in the Bay Area, KRON reported.  

“We are currently short-staffed by 562 officers, or approximately 25% short of the 2,182 officers required to meet our workload demands,” Police Chief Bill Scott said. 

The contract sets a 10.75% salary increase over the next three years: 4.75% in year one, 3% in year two and 3% in year three.     

“These new hiring and retention incentives send a clear message: We want more police officers serving San Francisco,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman told KRON. 

Additional items the contract provides for are: 

  • 3% increases for officers at five, seven and eight years of service to improve officer retention. 

  • An advance to the next salary step after one year, instead of two, for lateral officers. 

  • Extension of a pilot program to provide emergency childcare reimbursement for officers held for mandatory overtime, called back to work, or held over schedule. 

Mayor London Breed said the contract is a key step in a long-term recruitment and retention strategy.
