I. RECOMMENDATION:
City Manager recommends Council Authorize City Manager to Amend Police Department Sworn Job Descriptions
II. BACKGROUND:
AB 846 requires that peace officer job descriptions be updated. The job descriptions must be reviewed and make changes that emphasize community-based policing, familiarization between law enforcement and community residents, and collaborative problem solving, while de-emphasizing the paramilitary aspects of the job. That is as specific as the bill gets, and there are no exact language requirements in the bill. It gives the City the room to update their job descriptions as they choose, as long as they reflect the changes stated above.
III. DISCUSSION:
This item authorizes the City Manager to make the necessary job description changes.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
None. It is required by AB 846.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
None. | | |
