cti~n e ~ jested Requesting that the Council approve the replacement of Detective Dave Hurd wha has announced his retirement effective April 30, 2014. a,ck r®unl iscussian Detective David Hurd has submitted his resignation with the intent to retit•e effective Apra 30, 2010. Dave is currently assigned as a Criminal Detective within our department, He was f~xst a Reserve Ufficer with our department, and after completing his schooling, was hit•ed as a full time officer on October 19, 1987. He has been assigned the positions of Patrol officer, Patrol Corporal, Firearms Instructor, S'~iIAT Team Member, Defensive Tactics Instructor, Crisis Negotiator, and finally Criminal Detective. ~Ie will bring Dave bacl~ before the Council far recognition for his years of services as his retirement nears. with this pending retirement, we would life to begin the process of identifying a replacement for the opening as a Criminal Detective. I would life to fill this assignment effective April 5. During the last four weeks here Detective Hurd will close out his current cases, and he will not be assigned any new cases. It would be extremely advantageous to start his replacement at the beginning of April, so the new detective can start to learn from Dave about case assignments, equipment, and specific job details. This will create an opening in patrol. we currently have a Community Service officer, Jesse Smith, who has completed his formal education and training and is eligible to be hired as a full time police officer. He was a reserve officer for us and was hired as a CSC on G-18-OS. City Admizaistratot• Lori Johnson and I have spoken about promoting Smith to the position of Patrol Officer as soon as possible. I-Ie will have to undergo the formal 1 ~-week field training process before he is ready for solo patrol. If we could start him naw, he would be fully trained and on his own around the third weep i.n June. If we wait to promote him until after Apri130, he would not be out on patrol until the end o£ September, Tieing chart a patrol officer any longer than we have to, with the injuries and illnesses we have seen, is a great stress on this department, I would like to asl~ Council's approval to start Smith's training process now promoting him to patrol officer starting March 12. Lori and I agree that we would hold off on replacing the CSC position, a less essential position, until we can review that position and make a recommendation at a later date to the Council on how we recommend we fill that slot.
