STAFFING GOALS 2019 Staffing goals for 2019 Financial and Coverage Considerations • Wages and Salary includes the addition of a Full-Time Position of Sergeant/Investigations/Community Outreach Officer • Wages and Salary includes the addition of a 32 hrs per week Community Service Officer (CSO) Reason for Positions • In my 2018 budget I included the addition of a Promotion for Sergeant. Due to some unforeseen events in 2018 I decided that I would not fill this position. After further review of department and city needs I have created the position of Sergeant, Investigations, and Community Outreach Officer. This position would be open for application for any Officer that is employed either as Full-time or Part-time. As the city continues to grow my focus is to provide the best possible service to our residents. I have seen this past year that my role as Chief of Police has changed significantly and requires much more focus on the administration side with scheduling, performance reviews, meetings, reporting, training requirements, technology advances, policy writing, budget process, and etc. • The City has seen an increase in both zoning and city code violations being reported. Currently Alec or I take on the role of a CSO sending out letters and doing site visits which can be very time consuming. I would start the position as a part-time position of 32 hrs and week and also cross train them to be clerical when the secretary is sick or on vacation.

FUTURE STAFFING GOALS • 2020 – 1 or 2 Full-time Officer depending on Brockton Interchange and timing for completion. Would be mid year hire so training is complete by Interchange completion. • 2022 – Full-Time Investigator Position • 2022 – 1 Full-Time Officer • Other potential considerations would be additional office staff and additional officers depending on the level of increase in calls for service and office workload.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER • • • Increase in population of neighboring cities Calls for service Changes in types of service calls Improvement in Coverage Officer Safety considerations Society Changes Brockton Interchange Level of service expectations Changes in housing – Apartments, senior housing, etc. While this is only some of the factors that go into deciding staffing levels we continue to see a change in law enforcement that will require officers to take more time with residents at service events.
