Which group is eligible for a 10% assignment pay?

• A. SWAT & EFF
• B. PBIA deputies with assigned vehicle
• C. FTOs in specialty units (UTO)
• D. FTOs on road

Answer: (C)

Assignment pay is meant to reward officers who take on duties outside their normal role, especially when those duties involve additional training, specialty knowledge, or operating in a unit environment beyond the standard patrol assignment. In this context, the 10% uplift is designated for field training officers who are assigned to specialty units (UTO). This reflects the greater scope of responsibility and the specialized work they perform, such as mentoring new deputies, applying advanced techniques, and contributing to unit-level operations. The other groups don’t fall under that specific 10% assignment-pay category because their roles, while important, are covered by different provisions or supplements in the CBA. SWAT and EFF typically have their own special pay structures tied to high-risk or elite operations; deputies with an assigned PBIA vehicle might receive allowances tied to that assignment rather than the 10% uplift; and FTOs on road who aren’t in a designated specialty unit don’t receive the 10% assignment pay unless another special-pay provision applies.
