They have 21 civilian <br />vacancies, 13 of which are school crossing guards. It's very difficult to retain the <br />guards because they only work two hours a day, one in the morning and one in the <br />afternoon. They have 8 radio dispatcher vacancies on continuous recruitment. It's a <br />high stress job with a lot of multi -tasking. They do a realistic job interview, and this <br />is where they lose a lot of applicants. Commissioner Hu suggested turning over the <br />school crossing guards to the schools. <br />
