Perhaps the structure of the police <br />department needs to be reviewed because of the high turnover of part-time officers. Her concern <br />was not with Tony Wittke but with the use of part-time officers. <br />Moorse explained.the process works well because the City is given the opportunity to view their <br />work performance before hiring them into full -time positions. <br />Peterson expressed concern that we are educating officers only to be hired by other cities. <br />Moorse explained the turnover in part-time officers has been due to moving them into full -time <br />positions in the Orono Police Department. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated the process is cost - effective. <br />Moorse indicated money spent on training part-time officers has not been wasted as most of them • <br />have been moving into permanent positions for the City. <br />10 <br />
