Winnipeg Police Service

Remove OT as pensionable income. Most other sectors do not have this included in their pensions. Also, restrict OT for traffic court tickets to be paid as single ti me OT or maximum time and a half instead of double time. Police officers should attend court on work time for traffic incidents. There is no reason for traffic officers to be making more money than the Mayor or higher officials in the Police department.

Agree 100% with Tracy. The police know how to abuse the OT system and all take advantage of it. Also, eliminate the defined benefits program and replace it with a defined contribution plan. Finally, create a new agreement with the police admin staff and don't allow them to bargain under the police force. Separate the 2, one it in the field the other is behind a desk, therefore separate contracts.

Winnipeg needs cost efficient, quality community based policing, police services are the biggest expense in the entire budget. Most want nothing to do with curbside tax collection, but they are expected to generate some income to help cover the cost of the ballooning expense. Police should not be expected to generate income, they should be responding to and deterring criminal activity.
