We are only just over 400 sworn, but we normally have 3. CFA and CALEA.
Non sworn -AM/Supervisor (Oversees the process, policy revisions, builds files for assessment, etc.)
Assistant AM (Builds files for assessments, keeps up with time-sensitive items, etc.- Doing all of the below for now also)
and a sworn staff inspector (Just retired, so need to fill-but did all staff inspections and audits, kept line inspections PowerDMS people entries/deletions)We are in the process of some additional updates to add clarification for training, but this is our current policy. If you are interested in the draft changes, please reach out.
We use coplogic for citizens to report certain crimes online. We have a kiosk in the lobby, but I don’t think it is used much. This policy outlines what reports are accepted. We then have a Coplogic admin in CIB which filters through these and some are assigned via the Sgt. Other are not.
Our watch commanders have a list of officers who are willing/able or would like to be called to work additional shifts. They use that list when needed to start calling extra staff. We do not have anything in place to simply call officers in for extra staffing. It is voluntary. Obviously a critical incident would be a different scenario.
Our City Hall has contracted security. There is a metal detector and an X-ray scanner at the entrance door to City Hall. When there is a Commission meeting, they set up an additional metal detector at the meeting entrance and conduct a bag search.
Previously we had a Lt who was solely the FTO coordinator. After a restructure, the Training coordinator LT is also the FTO coordinator.
