Impact analysis
Adding a deputy chief means new salary and benefits costs, so Burton would likely have to find room in the budget or shift money from elsewhere.
Residents who want a harder push on violent crime—and a clearer chain of command in the police department—could benefit.
Other city services could feel a squeeze if Burton has to pull money from elsewhere to pay for the new role.
