GLYNN COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT Chief John Powell HEADQUARTERS ISLANDS SUBSTATION 157 Public afety Boulevard 1965 Demere Road Brunswick, GA 31525 Sr. Simo ns L·l and, GA 31522 912-554-7800 Dispatch: 912-554-3645 912-2 79-2891 www.police.glynncounty-ga.org To: Board of Commissioners Via: Personnel Committee From: John Powell, Police Chief Subject: Request to Reclassify CSO Position Date: July 9, 2019 Statement of the Issue: In 2018, the Police Department underwent a study by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. One recommendation of the study was to create a full-time position of Crime Analyst. Crime analysts review all police reports every day with the goal of identifying patterns as they emerge. Analyses of these trends, patterns, and hot spots provide the who, what, when, where, how, and why of emerging crime in our community. The police department will use this information to develop effective tactics and strategies, interceding as soon as possible, preventing victimization, and reducing crime. This position was requested for FY20; however, funding was not available to add the position at that time. To meet this very important need of the community while responsibly managing the current funding available, I have developed a plan to provide this service with minimal financial impact. The duties of Crime Analyst will be assigned to the current Lieutenant over Training. The duties of the Training Lieutenant will be assigned to the current Lieutenant over Professional Standards. These changes are a reallocation of responsibilities only and do not affect pay grades. To accomplish the duties of Professional Standards, I am requesting a reclassification of one Community Service Officer (CSO). The department was fortunate to recruit a candidate for CSO who is highly qualified for a position as Programs Analyst overseeing Professional Standards. The duties of this position include: • Policy review, revision, and implementation • Conducting internal affairs investigations at the direction of the Chief • GACP State Certification Program compliance CSO Stephen Sarnoski's current annual salary is $20,056. The annual salary difference is $36,859 which includes all benefits. The proposed staffing adjustments provide the citizens and visitors of Glynn County a higher level of service through the establishment of a dedicated Crime Analyst as recommended by the IACP study while also responsibly managing the available funding and maintaining the current number of sworn positions. Please consider approving these changes. Alternatives: 1) Approve the reclassification of one Community Service Officer position to Programs Analyst over Professional Standards. 2) Do not approve. Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative #1. Recommended Motion for the Personnel Committee: I move to recommend that the Board of Commissioners approve the reclassification of one Community Service Officer position to Programs Analyst over Professional Standards. Recommended Motion for the Board of Commissioners: I move to approve the reclassification of one Community Service Officer position to Programs Analyst over Professional Standards.
