Title
GPD Staffing Study (B)
This item will give an overview of the Staffing Study Implementation Team report to fiscally implement the recommendations made in the original staffing study by the Police Executive Research Forum. **ESTIMATED STAFF PRESENTATION 20 MINUTES**
Explanation
The rationale for the staffing study was to identify and examine core business practices and functions, workload and staffing analysis, organizational analysis, and leveraging resources (human and financial). The goals of the study were to determine if GPD has appropriate staffing levels in all areas of the department and to identify opportunities to add civilian staff as a cost-savings measure in addition to freeing up sworn personnel to be deployed for those activities requiring sworn officers.
GPD staff gave a presentation to the City Commission of the Staffing Study findings on December 19, 2013. At that time, staff was requested to draft a report proposing methods by which GPD could fiscally implement the PERF recommendations. A team was developed comprising of union representatives, a Police Advisory Council representative, and community members.
Fiscal note
None at this time. Future costs would be contingent on which recommendations the City Commission chooses to put into practice.
Recommendation
