2. Results of Police Department Organizational Review.

approximately half of the police officers and support staff to gather information regarding
how effectively the department is operating. He also met with the mayors of the cities to
which the Police Department provides police services. He reported the feedback from the
mayors was that the Department is doing a good job of providing police services. He also
is reported that there are some problem areas that are keeping the department from moving to
the next level of effectiveness. These relate to some officers feeling they are not a part of the
