Employees who belong to more than one specialty team shall not receive multiple stipends, with the exception of which group?

• A. FTOs
• B. Captains
• C. Allied members
• D. Volunteer

Answer: (A)

When someone serves on more than one specialty team, the usual rule is to avoid paying multiple stipends for overlapping duties. The reason this is the exception for Field Training Officers is that their role inherently involves training and evaluating new officers across multiple teams and shifts. This broad scope requires extra time and responsibility beyond a single team’s duties, so continuing the stipend acknowledges that additional workload. Other roles like Captains, Allied members, or Volunteers don’t typically involve the same cross-team training responsibilities, so the exception doesn’t apply to them.
