As of now the overtime from other units to come work is purely voluntary however we were bringing in 30 a day sometimes to fil our positions. It’s slowed down lately because of our recruiting efforts and the staff quitting has slowed down as the staffing goes up. The unit staff is on a voluntary overtime basis unless the ten spots can’t get filled then it’s mandatory but there is no mandatory requirement for them to work a certain amount of days. Houston is only 2 hours away and those officers gladly drive from there to Beaumont to help out without a per diem or a hotel room.
