FIRE AND POLICE BUDGET INFORMATION
Fire Services and Police Services are the largest part of the City operating budget. In 1991 the Fire Service had 1514 employees and a budget of $58,723,253. The 2005 projected budget is 1770 employees with a budget of $106,140,744. This is an increase of 17% in number of employees but an 80% increase in spending. The consumer price index for this period is 38%, less than 1/2 of the increase for the fire services. In 1991 the Police Services had 1822 employees and a budget of $72,310,133. The 2005 projected budget is 2680 employees with a budget of $177,900,080. This is an increase in number of employees of 47% but a 146% increase in spending. The consumer price index for this period is 38%. Even with the increase in employment, overall budget increase is twice what it should be considering the CPI for the period. This is total mismanagement and lack of financial controls. | FIRE AND POLICE NEWS | PARK SERVICES | CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE | PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING DIVISION | FINANCE DIVISION | SALARY & BENEFITS | APPOINTED CITY EMPLOYEES | MEMPHIS SCHOOL SYSTEM | RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT CORP | INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOARD | HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | MEMPHIS SHELBY COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY | | Return Home | 2009 NEWS | MEMPHIS CITY GOVERNMENT NEWS | MEMPHIS CITY COUNCIL NEWS | MLG&W NEWS | SHELBY COUNTY GOVERNMENT | CONTACT US | |
