Des Moines Patrol Chief Proposes Per Diem Cut and Car Reassignments
Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sellers outlined plans to end flat 2.75 dollar per day per diem for 13 Des Moines administrative officers and tighten that pay to patrol officers only when away from the road. He expects 18 of 410 patrol members to be affected, with district captains largely unaffected. Sellers also announced reassigning 16 seldom used patrol cars to road duty and creating a headquarters pool for flexibility, aiming to cut costs without sacrificing readiness. He is revising the patrol promotion policy to emphasize merit and seniority while complying with the law.
