Date:Mays, 1997 To:Ron Moorse, City Administrator From:Gary Cheswick, Chief of Police RE:Sergeant Promotion I am requesting permission to replace a vacancy of the intermediate command position. This memo is intended to list the need for that position and clarify the reason for increased supervision in the management chain of command. This position was previously that of a Sergeant, and more recently a Lieutenant. Currently there are three shift supervisors, titled as Corporales. These positions provide supervision on a limited basis. The Corporals' position relate to minimal managerial responsibilities and mainly provide for shift work only. The position of Sergeant provides assistance in reviewing job performance, evaluation of job productivity and handling personnel related problems (ie. complaints against officers, direction for internal affair, monitoring investigations etc.). As in the past this continues to be necessary in the proper management of a public safety unit. The Sergeant position would provide for street supervisor as well as helping with in house managerial responsibilities. The Sergeant will have good technical knowledge of state laws, city ordinances, department policies, and state and federal case laws. ! f The Sergeant will be abe to write clear reports and articulate to subordinates all the elements of a crime and details necessary for proper follow up investigation. The Sergeant will be able to direct proper response to calls for service and proper initial investigation of crime. The Sergeant will be self-motivated and self disciplined to strive to be professional. The Sergeant should be willing to put the concerns of the citizens and the good of the department first. In addition as you had requested a list of job tasks , a job description and information relating to the Sergeant position have been delivered. Please review and contact me if you need anything additional.
