The San Jose Police Department is short on patrol officers because of a surge of COVID cases and exposures.
This weekend, SJPD asked officers to voluntarily fill in for patrol shifts.
Starting next Monday, that's going to be mandatory.
The department will start having officers pickup an extra shift as part of their schedules.
