M E M O <br /> DATE: January 13 , 1998 <br /> TO: Chief Engstrom <br /> FROM: Lt . Dominic Cotroneo <br /> RE: Justifications for Additional Officers <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> - More scheduling flexibility <br /> - Would allow special details to be run at times when specific <br /> areas are being hit <br /> - Involve department in Task Forces <br /> - Make it possible to give Investigations continuous help <br /> • Rotating position <br /> • Assigned position <br /> Given additional mandates, make it easier for training and <br /> filling shifts <br /> More involvement by officers in Crime Prevention programs . <br /> Officers would be able to spend a little more time organizing <br /> block/community/business groups. <br /> - Additional manpower allows any and all of above listed <br /> duties/details to be done "on duty. " This would reduce <br /> overtime expenses for these activities . This would also make <br /> department more pro-active, which would continue to keep areas <br /> served as some of the safest to live in. <br /> - Also, enacting some/all of these programs, would add another <br /> level of career enrichment for officers . . This may keep. <br /> turnover low, which also keeps hiring/training equipment costs <br /> lower. <br />
