City ?Tanager
SUBJECT Police Officer Brian Glaccum
SRO ht Joe Carollo A L�' REFERENCES:
Commissioner �ttt cZ
ENCLOSURES:
The City's handling of the non promotion of Police Officer Brian Glaccum must have left
our citizens wondering on what kind of logic the City is using.
By all accounts Officer Glaccum served well enough and passed the necessary exams to be
promoted to Sergeant. By all accounts he has served long and effectively in the troubled
Overtown section of our City.
Logic would seem to indicate that since he (1) is devoted enough to his duties in Over -
town to give up his promotion if that means leaving the area and (2) that the continuing
Overtown problem obviously indicate the dire need for new initiative and leadership that
Brian Glaccum serving in Overtown as a Sergeant will be able to accomplish even more
than he did as a rank and file officer.
I'm sure the bureaucracy can come up with a hundred reasons why something this sensible
can't be done.
Please report to the City Commission on the next meeting of July 18, 1983 on one way it
can be done.
