Operating Impacts (Routine or Recurring Annually)

MPD Traffic Unit (Sergeant and Patrol Officers – Total 4): Reinstatement of the Morrisville Police Department Traffic Team, which existed until 2010. Their sole function was to respond to major traffic collisions, coordinate traffic initiatives, participate in Governors Highway Safety Program initiatives and conduct educational seminars focused on traffic safety. As the town and roadway infrastructure has grown, patrol officers are not able to keep up with the demand for enforcement due to 911 calls for service and other service requests. Proposed half-year (January 2021) for FY2021 and full year ($337,800) beginning in FY2022. Connect Morrisville > Public safety readiness and Operational excellence Multiple Objectives. Fire Captains (3): Three firefighters that are part of the long-range Quint concept plan approved in 2012. The addition of these officer positions (one per shift) for the promotion of existing staff to captain and subsequent promotions to hire three new firefighters, increases safety. The addition of the officer positions provides the necessary staffing level to keep smaller rescue units in service not always available now because of staffing levels and reduces the need to holdover staff to meet minimum staffing.
