Budget Office Financial Impact Analysis

This ordinance creates two new classifications: the Investigative Crime Analyst and the Digital Forensics Unit. Both positions have a salary range between $67,205 and $96,762.  The Police Bureau’s FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget added 5.0 Analyst II positions to support the Investigations Unit and 4.0 FTE Analyst II positions to be assigned to the Digital Forensics Unit. These positions are budgeted at mid-range salary of $89,055 in the FY 22-23 Adopted Budget. If the starting pay exceeds the amount budgeted for these positions, the Police Bureau will need to use vacancy savings to cover the additional cost.
