while many of the san jose graduates are now wearing the san jose badge, some of them are already interviewing at other bay area police departments. 0 men and women celebrated a milestone today. they completed san jose police department's four-month academy. today they received their badges and will begin 16 weeks of intense field training to prepare them for solo patrols on the streets of san jose. the question now is how many of them will end up patrolling the streets of other bay area cities. the president of the police officers association says he knows of several graduates who have already applied for jobs in other cities. >> there are some in backgrounds with other cities. i know that for a fact. >> reporter: jim also says he knows why. >> they're actually going to receive the worst police pension in the state. >> reporter: he predicts by this time next year, fewer than 10 of these 40 new officers will still be with the san jose police

department. sergeant heather randall admits other departments have a competitive advantage because they can offer higher salaries and more benefits. she says the department is not aware of any academy graduates who are planning to leave. >> we do what we can. we try to make it a positive work environment. we encourage people to stay. we're looking at career developments. mentoring opportunities for people. and just doing what we can to keep people here and retain those officers. >> reporter: the city spent $170,000 to get 1 officer from backgrounds to training. so he or she can patrol on the streets. so even if one of these graduates leaves san jose, that's money down the drain for the city and a major impact on the dwindling force. the city of san jose pays for recruits to go through the police academy and get the training in the field, they don't require them to sign a contract saying they're going to stay here in the department. so after their training, all of these cadets and graduates are

available to leave to go to another city and we're hearing, we're learning today that some of them are looking at oakland and san mateo. reporting live in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. mu details. keeping qualified officers on the streets continues to be an issue in san jose. new numbers from the police officers association. this year alone there have been 55 resignations. 25 people have retired. if you average the past few years you're looking at 70 r resignations a year. compare that to 2010 when there were only six. new details now on a horrific early morning accident. san francisco police are ftryin to figure out why a speeding driver plowed into a minivan killing a teenager and injuring six others. a short time ago we learned the a out the teen who died, kevin san. he was just 16 years old. police say the driver of an suv slammed into the minivan kevin was inside at pine and gough.

can i bring any passengers? is there a child seat on that? >> rob, you need one of those. you could do that. you're very fit. >> when there's no wind, though. you saw how flat that water was. pretty nice across the bay if you will there on that given day. it was the days where we get offshore breezes that warm things up. even around san francisco today, 75 degrees. 78 in san jose. we get out of summer when we have five or six microclimates around the bay area today with dry mostly offshore winds. everyone's almost got the same weather. upper 70s to low 80s around the bay area. winds are an issue, though. they're still out of the north and northeast at times. the east bay valleys. for that reason, the fire still burning in yolo county still dropping in smoke around the 680 corridor into the tri valley and parts of the south bay into tomorrow morning before the winds turn strongly an onshore. still dry in the hilltops. 19% humidity now in fairfield. the sea breeze strengthens tomorrow, we'll also change the wind direction and temperatures cool off a little bit for the

second half of the weekend. outside right now, still mid 70s in san jose. 68 in san francisco. by this time tomorrow, we'll likely see lower 60s thanks to a stronger sea breeze. between now and tomorrow, still looks mostly sunny. should be fine for your saturday plans. the bigger changes are coming up as we get into sunday. the system drops out of the gulf of alaska. little ahead of schedule for this time of year. normally we see this into early october. there you go. you've got rain chances. highest in the north bay. especially north of the golden gate during the day sunday. if you have plans this weekend including the raiders game, home game hosting washington in town, you'll be seeing numbers close to 70 at 2:00. increasing clouds as that game goes on through the fourth quarter. speaking f increasing clouds, heading into sunday morning, you're starting to see showers up in the north bay but staying mainly north of san francisco. until we get into monday morning. some lighter showers possible. south of san francisco. early in the day monday. before the rain line moves back off to the forth by monday afternoon and tuesday. rain accumulation unlike last weekend where we set records for

rainfall. many places seeing more than a half inch of rain in the north bay. this time around looks like less than a tenth of an inch. see the numbers not moving at all in the south bay. may be enough to briefly wet the pavement and that's it. if you're traveling up north of the bay area this weekend, watch out for some very heavy rain. this is a pretty strong pattern that is setting up tossing a lot of rain and snow into the cascades and at times into mendocino and lake counties heading into monday morning. overnight tonight, areas of low crowds, perhaps around the inner bay. a patch or two. dry out there. 40s and 50s for the morning. areas of smoke possible inland for the tri valley early in the day before the sea breeze picks up and starts to move the smoke into the sacramento valley. 82 for san jose tomorrow. very likely the warmest day of the next seven days coming up for you tomorrow. mid 80s around livermore and pleasanton. low 80s in concord. now the sea breeze dropping that 75 of today down to 72 tomorrow in san francisco. still 80s across the north bay.

we'll see increasing clouds. decreasing temperatures on sunday. looks like those showers should hold off mainly for the north bay sunday evening, early monday probably our best bet for seeing showers south of san francisco early in the day. the numbers start to climb up again. looks like we'll see offshore winds picking up again wednesday and thursday which means warming again as we head toward the weekend. overall, a very fall looking forecast ahead. >> good with you. >> good with me. >> thank, rob. >> sure. >> let's get to sports. piqued jessica's attention because this is a story of a diamond ring that needs to be in his possession. >> nicely done. well done. i like that. let's get to it. there never seems to be a dull moment when it comes to -- >> jim, can we interrupt? that's perfect. >> you needs your microphone. >> you read our lips. >> my producer didn't give me my microphone. >> those producers. >> my producer being me, by the way. >> all right. a do-over. >> exactly. it's a do-over. yes it is. let's get this rolling today. never seems to be a dull moment
