Subject: AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE
COPS FAST OFFICER
As part of the year 2000 budget process, I had asked for authorization
to fill our last remaining COPS FAST grant position. I am of the
understanding that this request has been tentatively approved.
One (1) of our police reserve officers has recently completed the
necessary training and is eligible to be hired as a police officer. In
fact, he w-as offered ajob w-ith the Minnesota State Patrol in the past
w-eek and turned it doW"D because he is hoping to get hired by the Elk
River Police Department.
I am, therefore, requesting authorization to elevate Stephen Sarazin
from the position of police reserve officer to a full-time police officer
position. This w-ould be contingent on Stephen successfully
completing all aspects of the selection process.
.
I believe that Stephen w-ould be an excellent addition to our full-time
ranks and hope this request is approved. If you have any questions,
please give me a call.
