CHULA VISTA APPROVING EXTENDING AND ADDING
ADDITIONAL LATERAL INCENTIVE PAY FOR NEW
LATERAL POLICE HIRES

is, in part, the result of the difficulty in recruiting; and
WHEREAS, the difficulty in recruiting police applicants is not unique to the Chula Vista
Police Department; and
WHEREAS, Police Laterals are Peace Officers who have completed a POST-approved
academy and have prior experience in law enforcement with another police agency; and
WHEREAS,the City of Chula Vista's Police Officer Association MOU currently provides
$10,000 as lateral incentive pay to encourage Police Laterals to become Chula Vista Police
Officers; however, recruitment nevertheless remains difficult; and

Vista Police Officers, Council approved increasing the incentive pay (an additional $10,000) for
Police Laterals who become Chula Vista Police Officers ("Enhanced Lateral Incentive Program")
during the period August 13, 2021, through June 30, 2022, and have the required POST certificate
to be a Peace Officer and at least one year of law enforcement experience; and
WHEREAS, to continue to encourage Police Laterals to become Chula Vista Police
Officers, the Chula Vista Police Department seeks to continue the Enhanced Lateral Incentive
Program (the additional $10,000) for Police Laterals who became Chula Vista Police Officers
through October 20, 2022; and
WHEREAS, in order to further encourage Police Laterals to become Chula Vista Police
Officers, and be competitive in the market, the Chula Vista Police Department seeks to increase
the incentive pay for the Enhanced Lateral Incentive Program (an additional $5,000 to $15,000)
and apply it to new Police Laterals hired between October 21, 2022, and June 30, 2024.
