RESOLUTION NO. 2'I2
RESOLUTION CREATING TWENTY (20) POLICE OFFICER I (TEMPORARY)
POSITIONS FOR THE HAWAII COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, due to the increasing number of vacancies within the Hawaii County Police
Department, they have started to conduct two separate recruit classes within a year; and
WHEREAS, presently, with only twenty-three (23) Police Officer I (Temporary) positions and
having extended the initial probationary period from 12 months to 18 months, this has
compounded to a personnel and payroll administrative problem; and
WHEREAS, to accommodate the increased number of recruits during the year, the
department has had to temporarily downgrade Police Officer II positions from the various districts,
assign them to the training division, and then move them back to their former class and location
upon the completion of the probationary period; and
WHEREAS, the additional work of processing the approvals, of revising position
descriptions, of changing the responsibility center, the personnel forms, and the payroll certification
forms, etc. is not efficient, is very time consuming, and has been problematic; and
WHEREAS, the creation of the additional twenty (20) Police Officer I (Temporary), PO-05
positions will allow the department to fill the positions with the recruits in their respective classes,
fund them with through vacancies, and keep them in the proper division (training) instead of
moving existing positions from the various districts to Personnel and Training; and
WHEREAS, funding for these positions will come from vacant position salaries; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 5-1.3(c) of the Hawaii County Charter states that the Mayor
has the power to "Create positions...fortyhich appropriations have been made by the council...".
