(#3309) Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable Financial Impact: No financial impact to establish the position as funding were allocated in the adopted budget for FY 2014-2015. Motion: Adopt the Resolution. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On July 10, 2014, the Personnel Committee approved the proposed item and recommended that the item be forwarded to the Mayor and Common Council for adoption. BACKGROUND: The position of Criminal Investigation Officer is a newly drafted position. The San Bernardino Police Department has undergone an extensive reorganization. The Police Department is experiencing a significant reduction in both sworn and civilian staff. Many employees have retired and/or sought employment elsewhere. In many positions staffing is critically low. We have continued our efforts to backfill those positions. We are currently making every effort to fill the vacancies as soon as possible. Our priority is to provide quality law enforcement service in the field; therefore we have moved several Detectives from the Detective Bureau to the field to assist in this effort. But it has left investigation positions vacant. In order to continue to provide investigative services in a timely and efficient manner,there is a need to create a new civilian "Criminal Investigation Officer" position. The Traffic Unit has also suffered a significant reduction of investigation time for the one Detective assigned in the Unit. The Detective has had to divide their time to supervision and administrative duties leaving little time for investigative follow up. One Criminal Investigation Officer could be assigned to this Unit to increase the ability to investigate and prosecute traffic violations. There would be a total of 8 positions. 7 positions would be added to the Detective Bureau under the Investigation Division and one position to the Traffic Division under the Operations Division within the Police Department's organizational structure. (See attached table of organization) ANALYSIS: l Updated: 7/15/2014 by Georgeann"Gigi"Hanna A Packet Pg. 396 3309 The Criminal Investigation Officer position would be a civilian full-time permanent position assigned to the Detective Bureau. The individuals working in this position will work closely with Detectives in handling caseloads in their area of expertise. These areas of expertise have been identified as Economic Crimes, Property Crimes and Robbery. Collectively,their efforts will provide the ability to investigate additional cases currently not being handled by the loss of the Detectives to field duties and continue to provide a sufficient level of police service to the community. Criminal Investigation Officer $3,183.00 x 12 mo. $38,196.00 (Step 1) Benefits $14,902.17 Total $53,098.17 The proposed job description has been provided to the Business Representative of the General Unit.
