SFPD Testing

[simon623]

Soooooo..... Just found out my BI was transferred to patrol at Central without notification. Have to contact the BI unit tomorrow and ask "WTF???". Feels like I'm in limbo.

Anyone hear any chatter about the next upcoming academy? Calcava was telling me to expect the next one around April. I keep checking the POST website for any news, but no new basic academy classes in SF have been announced yet.

All I know is that they've been running them approx every two months. William would better know the specifics

March, April, May, June. Possibly 2 more after the start of the fiscal year.

What do you need?

I have several questions comparing the two departments to help make my decision to move forward with the lateral transfer.

1- the nypd has unlimited sick days. sfpd has 13 paid sick days. If i am injured or become seriously sick would they compensate me for over 13 days? Do the sick days roll over annually? Do they encourage you to use all your sick for the year?

2- how are the over time in sfpd? Is it consistent? would i be able to make over my annual base? If so how much over?

3- I currently have 3 years on as NYPD. If i lateral over to SFPD would i be able to carry over the time?

4- Does SFPD match any 401k? Do they offer a 457 deferred comp?

5- are there resident requirements to work for sfpd? may i reside in san jose and still work in SFPD?


Thank you for your guidance.

#1- We have 13 paid sick days. If you have passed your probationary period and you get injured or become seriously ill, you'd be placed on DP (Disability Pay) which is your tax free salary)
#2-As of now, we have an abundance of OT opportunities available due to the severe personnel shortage. The amount over your annual base pay depends on how much OT you work.
#3- Laterals can transfer their time over to our department.
#4-Retirement benefits: 3% of final compensation per year of service at age 58, with a maximum of 90% benefit based on years of service.
All employees hired on or after January 10, 2009 will be required (pursuant to San Francisco Charter Section A8.432) to contribute 2% of pre-tax compensation to fund retiree healthcare. In addition, most employees are required to make a member contribution towards retirement, ranging from 7.5% - 13.25% of compensation.
#5- There are no resident requirements to work for SFPD.
Some additional info for you-
10 paid vacation days a year during the first five years of service.
15 paid vacation days a year during the next 10 years of service.
20 paid vacation days a year after 15 years of service.
4 floating holidays.
Bilingual pay and special assignment pay.

And, yes the sick days roll over. It accrues at 4 hours per pay check, maximum 1040 hours. No, you are NOT encouraged to use all of your sick days for the year, lol.

Anyone that turned in a packet in January hear back? Also, anyone know how long it can usually take from when you turn your packet in to hearing back from backgrounds?

The key in this process is patience. When I turned my packet in, I didn't meet my BI until about six months later. The whole process could potentially take up to two years to complete. Hopefully that won't be the case.
