- 1.1.r1 - Cost SavingsDescriptionRationale
Initial start up cost of $146,244.35, with future cost of $84,033.60 for an annual savings of $74,595.90.
Resource Type:OngoingExpenditure Category:PersonnelFirst Year Cost/Savings:$146,244.35/$24,335.15Second Year Cost/Savings:$81,033.60/$89,545.90Third Year Cost/Savings:$81,033.60/$89,545.90
Actions/Activities:- 1.1.a1 - Change Dispatch Services
Currently to provide 24/7 dispatching services the District would need to hire a total of 3 dispatchers. This would equate to a total annual cost, which would include salary and benefits, of $170,579.50. This net cost also incorporates additional funds which are paid to the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department for records access and part time dispatching services.
By contracting our dispatching services with Cal State San Bernardino, we would have 24/7 emergency dispatching services, which would provide a safer working environment for our officers; as well as create a safer District environment for the community. At an estimated start up cost of $146,244.35, and thereafter costing $81033.60 per year. Ultimately the District would save $89,545.90 annually.

Actions/Activities:-
1.1.a1 - Change Dispatch Services
To provide this same service utilizing 3 dispatchers the annual cost for salary and benefits will be approximately $135,330. Additionally we will eliminate dispatch services with the San Bernardino County Sheriff''s Department which would save approximately $13,000 for just part time dispatch services.
By contracting emergency police services with Cal State San Bernardino it would provide 24/7 emergency coverage which would provide a higher/professional level of safety for all police, employees, students, staff and faculty.
