The Intern receives an overview of the K9, Patrol, Investigations, SRO, SWAT, <br />CSO, and Administration/Support areas of the PD. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />The Intern program allows Police Department Staff an opportunity to view potential candidates for Police <br />Officer openings; and, gives the Intern an opportunity to achieve an internship, earn wages, and discover <br />the meaning behind the Mounds View Police Departments core values: Integrity; Service; Commitment. <br /> <br />Staff recommend the Police Intern position compensated at $19.28/hour. This is a 4% increase from 2025. <br />The HR Committee supports the request for the Police Internship program to continue. Funding exists due <br />to the Evidence Technician reducing hours from full-time to part-time effective March 30, 2026. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Create a culture where employees desire to work. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />None, currently there is funding available as the Police Department recently reduced the Evidence <br />Technician from full-time to part-time status. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 10222, Authorizing a Recruitment Process for the Police Intern <br />Position. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> _______________________ <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resource Director <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment: Res.
