Police Department MEMORANDUM Item ~ 3.5. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Jeffrey A. Beahen, Chief of Police May 19, 2004 Hiring of new officer We have started the hiring process for the two new COPS positions and have a candidate ready to start employment. He is Paul Scbulte, who is currendy employed as a corrections officer for Anoka County. Paul was offered a job last year but was unable to accept the position as his military unit was deployed overseas. Upon his return in April, he was sdll interested in being hired. He has completed all phases of his pre-employment screening, and is available to start June 1, 2004. He would start at the first step pay grade according to the patrol union contract and would be on probation for a period of one year. We are accepting applications for the second position as well as the desire to establish an eligibility roster for future openings. I predict that in the near future we will have an opening due to retirement as well as another potential unpredicted retirement that may occur in the next fe~v months. I have also been informed that three of our current officers have applied for lateral entry positions with the Minnesota State Patrol. This does not indicate that these officers will either be accepted or that they will take positions if offered, but we could experience an unexpected shortage of officers should these three individuals accept these positions. I am asking your permission to hire Paul Schulte now, and to continue on with our eligibility process for the next position as well as any other future opening that may occur.
