Is open to considering police signing bonuses and night-shift pay differentials to help with recruitment, guided by the police chief.

Council also discussed potentially adding signing bonuses for new officers and providing officers with higher pay for night shifts.

“I’m very open to a dialogue around signing bonuses, I’m open to a dialogue around if we need to do a pay differential at night—I’ll take the chief’s lead on that,” Massingill said. “I’m open to all those dialogues if it helps in the recruiting process.

Said the city contributed additional funding to help hire police cadets.

“Unfortunately, it’s nationwide,” Chief Muñoz said, referring to the shortage of new recruits. “We are looking for certified officers but we actually are going in front of some cadets next week at the academies to also attempt to recruit from there.” The city has contributed additional funds to assist the department in hiring these new cadets, Massingill said. In addition to this, the department is also looking into potentially seeking additional help from the constable’s offices of Austin Precincts 2 and 3 to supplement patrols.
