There's an even simpler answer. If your job doesn't require issuing citations, making arrests or interviewing suspects or witnesses, or supervising those who do, then it could be handed off to civilians. There's at least 200 people in spots that could be easily handed off to civilians, retirees or outside contractors. That includes Media-Public Relations, Community Events, Community Policing, and every sworn spot below Lt Col except for Inspections in the administrative bureau. If a 100% desk job requires the powers of a law enforcement officer for paperwork purposes, they could be sworn in as a special peace officer after a few weeks of easy training.
