CASE # 7 <br /> <br />HIRING PROCESS FOR ADDITIONAL PATROL OFFICER <br /> By: David Gustafson, Police Chief <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey, along with five other municipalities, conducted a joint police officer <br />recruiting test on November 13, 1999. The results (test scores) will be available to each of the <br />municipalities the week of November 21, 1999. <br /> <br />From that point on, each City will be on its own to conduct whatever hiring process it chooses, <br />independent of the others. As soon as the scores are available, each department will be in <br />competition for those candidates who appear to have the demeanor and capacity to become good <br />officers. In order for Ramsey to formulate a list of candidates to interview and advance to the <br />final selection process, it is important that the Police Chief move quickly once the list is <br />received. <br /> <br />The 1999 budget will accommodate the expenses associated with interviewing, background <br />checking, equipping, and securing medical and psychological exams for the new officer. The <br />year 2000 budget that is now before Council has identified the funding sources necessary to <br />maintain the additional officer for that year. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff is recommending setting the hiring process in motion once the test results are received. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to authorize staff to begin the hiring process as soon as the test results are received. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Police Chief <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 11/23/99 <br /> <br />G.'lusers~lThieli~gl~dOlCOUNCIL& lCITYCOUbll1999WovemberiHirePatrolOfcr, doc 11/19/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
