FYI- staff chiefs have many years of service. As such, they accrue plenty of leave time and plenty of comp time. It can take a long time to expend those leaves and finally exit the active payroll.

Sounds a good job pity we all couldn't get it, thanks for reply.
Not so good ......they accrue comp time in lieu of cash payments when working ordered overtime & often are denied being able to utilize it during the years resulting in having a large amount accrued at the end of their career....some just leave it on the table & the city recoups it.....a shit system.....people should be paid in a timely manner for the time they have to work .

And I believe the comp time is hour for hour not time and a half. I know some guys said they would take a pay cut being promoted from Capt to BC because of the lack of OT pay

Finally, after about a year, Chief of Department Richardson has retired on 3/30/23.
What's he been doing all that time?
So now there are only two Chiefs of Department left.
