San jose police chief eddie garcia is turning away a chance to get temporary help as he tries to fill 200 openings in his department. Maria medina is live at san jose pd headquarters to explains who is pitching the idea. Reporter a City Council Member proposed this idea last year saying why not use cops from the Santa Clara Sheriffs Office and the chp to patrol areas here in san jose and give out tickets . But the citys top cop is simply saying no and the chief has several reasons why including labor contract issues. He also says it would bring down the departments morale and potentially scare off recruits. Now, sjpd went from 1400 cops nearly 10 years ago down to 900. It is in the process of hiring a couple of hundred more officers but that will take a while so the City Council Members say until then, why not get help from other agencies . We have 2300 miles of streets in san jose and theres no Traffic Enforcement so its unsafe speeding near the hundreds of schools we have, churches, et cetera. Reporter all right. So the City Council Member says the money to pay for it would come from the nearly 200 openings that sjpd already has until those recruits are ready to deploy. So later today the chief is expected to bring his ideas why this is not a good idea to the City Council Member during a regular meeting at 1 30. Maria medina, kpix 5. Live at sjpd. Campaign news now.

They are in the process of hiring 200 other officers but that could take a while so the City Council Member says until then, why not get help from other agencies . Lets augment on a temporary basis by contracting, for example, the Highway Patrol to give out tickets within the city and then when the police force rises in its number then you no longer have to do that. And as far as paying for it well, the City Council Member says the money to pay would come from the nearly 200 openings that sjpd already has until those officers are ready to get on the streets.
