SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
As discussed in a City Council Workshop on January 11, 2010, the Police Department is requesting that its existing
Internal Affairs/ Public Information Officer position be up -graded from the rank of Patrol Officer (Detective) to
Sergeant. This upgrade is consistent with the complexities and responsibilities of the assignment in question, which
is customarily filled by supervisory level personnel in the overwhelming majority of law enforcement agencies. The
cost of up -grading this position is anticipated to be approximately $3,864 for the remainder of the fiscal year and
would be absorbed by the Police Department's existing budget. Up -grading this position will require an amendment
to City Ordinance 1285 (3194).
