Overview: During the recent Chelsea School Committee meeting, the discussion was dominated by a focus on the Chelsea Police Department’s budget and staffing challenges. The department’s budget reflects an 11% increase year-over-year, driven primarily by personnel costs, which have risen by 10.3%. This uptick is linked to the addition of a new sergeant position intended to support a new scheduling system. The police department currently maintains 124 full-time equivalent positions, with the budget accommodating necessary adjustments for departmental needs, such as $25,000 allocated for capital projects like taser purchases and camera replacements. The introduction of a new scheduling system is designed to increase officer deployment during critical times, a move attributed to recent retirements that resulted in the loss of over 200 years of collective experience. The department has made efforts to recruit younger officers to sustain operational effectiveness.
