REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />TO ITEM NUMBER <br />Ci Council 3.3. <br />AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br />Consent March 21, 2011 Ca fain Bob Kluntz <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By <br />Request for Authorization to Attend Out-of--State Training <br /> REVIEWED BY <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />The Police Department is requesting Council approval to send Detective Joe Gacke to a training course <br />at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.. <br />BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br />The course, entitled "Police Photography," is offered through the FBI Virtual Academy and takes place <br />from Apri14, 2011 through April 15, 2011. This course focuses on investigative photography and teaches <br />techniques and their application to crime scenes, accident scenes, surveillance, and other investigative <br />areas. <br />The knowledge gained from this course would have a direct impact on the day to day activities of the <br />police department. Some of the most valuable evidence collected at scenes, are the photographs <br />documenting the condition of the scene during the investigation. The added skills obtained through this <br />training will only help to make the detective unit more capable when documenting and presenting the <br />scene at the time of the initial investigation. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The financial impact to the City will be minimal. The FBI pays the students travel expenses, lodging, and <br />meals while attending the training. The only cost to the City would be any incidental travel expenses and <br />the employee's normal wage. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ None <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />C:\Users\jjohnson\AppData\L,ocal\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\SFWAYSNS\Request for Action Gacke 03- <br />2011.doc <br />
