NEW POSITION INFORMATION FORM Department: POLICE Date: 04/07/03 Division/Branch: Area I & II Field Operations # of Similar PaY Fund Pos. in Class Title Grade Salo Source De t. Police Officer II TEMP (b positions) PO-7 $ 3,252 Federal mo l . Give reasons how new duties arose (statutes enacted, ordinances, newly authorized programs, basis for increased workloads, etc.): The Police Department was awarded athree-year grant to establish a School Resource Officer Program with the Department of Education. This program will work in conjunction with our Community Policing Officers to focus on creating and maintaining a safe school, conducive for teaming and safe community environment. In addition to this challenging mission, we hope to promote and develop a more positive attitude of the police role in the community and inform students of their rights and responsibilities as citizens; establish a positive working relationship with the students and all parties involved within the Deportment of Education to prevent juvenile delinquency and assist in student development. Due to our budgetary restraints, additional officers are needed to concentrate on the ice epidemic and domestic violence/sexual assaults that are plaguing our island. Therefore, the above programs and ideals are considered "nice to have", but not a high priority when reviewed for our deportment's annual budget. However, with grant monies and a pro-active approach of educating and molding our young citizens during their formative years, we hope to reduce the problems of drugs, alcohol, and unlawful behavior in the early stages. 2. Can new duties be assigned to existing positions or handled in other way such as short term contracts, etc. Yes, this is a short-term contract, which will be used os a pilot program to provide our County with funding until such time that we can find funds to cover the expenses.
