In addition to the police officers, key dw|han position are currently being recruited which include
emergency dispatchers and crime scene investigators among others. The attached table shows the
various key positions and the current stage in the process of recruitment. Ten emergency dispatchers
(ED) went through the Onp/ stages of the recruitment process In the past week. We anticipate their start
date atthe beg|nningmfthe next pay period (3-11'13) |fthere are no problems with the results oftheir
physical exams and toxicology reports. These ten ED hires will 0| all of the currently vacant ED
positions. Since ED Positions have m high turnover rate and in order to prepare for the next group of ED
vacancies, I have authorized further selection activity to begin from a current eligible list of applicants.
Moving the ED recruitment process ahead of anticipated vacancies will curtail the number of open
vacant dispatcher positions in the future, strengthening this critical work environment.
Although the civilian selection and hiring process has been slow with the additional resources and the
renewed focus ofmanagement onthe issues surrounding the recruitment and hiring process, we have
full confidence that we will meet the challenge ofreplacing the employees that will be retiring lnthe
coming years.
