SF Voters To Decide on Extra Pay For Veteran Cops Amid Shortage

Voters are getting a say in San Francisco’s police staffing crisis.  The department is short 500 officers, leading to daily overtime.  One solution is to have some postpone their retirement by paying them 600 thousand to three-million dollars a year.  The Board of Supervisors approved putting that measure on the November ballot.  Veteran officers would be eligible to stay up to five years starting next July.
