MEMORANDUM
To: Manager Jeremy Allen From: Chief Gus Medina
Date: 11 /28/2022 Regarding: Detail Rates
I have completed assessment of detail pay for surrounding agencies. Please see the below information.
Palm Beach Gardens PD charges $50/hour for each officer and $55/hour for each sergeant. They
require a three (3) hour minimum. For Holidays &Special Days an additional $10 per hour will be
charged.
North Palm Beach PD charges $53.97/hour for each officer.
Juno Beach PD charges $45/hour for an officer and $55/hour for a supervisor.
Starting October 1, 2023, Jupiter PD will charge $55/hour for an officer and $62/hour for a supervisor.
Holiday detail pay increases the charges to $70/hour for an officer and $75/hour for a supervisor.
Starting on October 1, 2024, Jupiter PD will increase their detail rate to $60/hour for an officer and
$69/hour for a supervisor. During a holiday, the charges are $75/hour for an officer and $80/hour for a
supervisor.
Currently our rates are $35/hour for an officer, and $45/hour for a holiday detail. If needed, a supervisor
receives $40/hour and $50/hour on a holiday.
I am requesting that starting January 1, 2023, Tequesta Police Department's special detail rate
increase to $45/hour for an officer and $50/hour for a supervisor. Our holiday detail rate should
increase to $50/hour for an officer, and $55/hour for a supervisor. On January 1, 2024, Tequesta Police
Department's rate should increase to $55/hour for an officer and $60/hour for a supervisor. If the detail
is on a holiday, the detail pay rate should be $60/hour for an officer and $65/hour fora supervisor.
The detail rate has not increased in a minimum of six years. This increase will make our detail rates
comparable with other departments in the north end of Palm Beach County.
