SUBJECT:
Hiring of new officer
I am requesting permission from the Council to hire a replacement officer to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Officer Paul Schulte.
The candidate who has completed all phases of the hiring process and is now eligible to be
hired is Adam Bebeau. Adam resides in Anoka and is currently employed by the Champlin
Police Department. He has been an officer there for two years. Prior to that he was an
officer with the Willmar Police Department where he worked for over four years. He also
has experience working as a non-sworn security officer with the Anoka Police Department
where he performed security functions at the Anoka Metro Treatment Facility. He is a
graduate of North Hennepin Community College with an A.S. degree in Criminal Justice.
Adam is Intoxilyzer certified and brings to our department training and experience in
investigating computer crimes, advanced interviewing skills, special response tactics and
hotel security programs.
Because of his training, certifications and experience, I am requesting that he start at the first
year step according to the patrol union contract, and that he continue to progress through
the steps accordingly, reaching the second step at the end of his first year of employment
and top patrol at the end of his second year, as long as all conditions of probation, field
training and employment are met.
Adam will be a very valuable asset to our department as our next new officer, and I hope
that you support my request to both employ him and start him at the first year pay step.
His first date of employment would be during the second week of January, 200S-depending
on the 200S patrol schedule.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this new hire.
