L <br /> Part Time Officers <br /> I am requesting that the City Council authorize the hiring of 2 part time officers to join <br /> the Police Department. <br /> These 2 officers will share hours depending on needs and what works with their <br /> schedules. <br /> Pay rate will be $14 per hour, which is consistent with Breezy Point and Cross Lake <br /> Departments. These officers will not receive city benefits as they will not exceed 1040 <br /> hours in a calendar year. <br /> The funds from the restorative justice grant will cover their wages for this summer. <br /> These officers will work along with Full Time Officers until I determine that they are <br /> capable of working by themselves. <br /> These officers will be used primarily on weekends and to fill in for other officers who <br /> take leave. <br /> The two officers whom our department feels would best fit our needs are as follows: <br /> Katie Peterson- She was an intern for our department and comes very highly <br /> recommended from our city employees. She has excellent reference letters from her <br /> instructors at Brainerd Community College. Katie is set to finish up her schooling in May <br /> of this year. I have met with her several times and I see no reason why she will not <br /> become a great officer. <br /> Brian Madison- Brian was an intern with our department and comes highly <br /> recommended as well. He is currently working 20 hrs a week for the Motley Police Dept. <br /> I called the Chief of Motley and he told me that he would hire Brian as a full time officer <br /> if the opportunity came up. I have talked to fellow officers from Todd Co and Staples Pd <br /> about Brian and they have no hesitation on his abilities. <br /> Both Peterson and Madison have had background checks on them and have nothing in <br /> their files that would stop them from working for the Pequot Lakes PD <br /> qfully, <br /> B aam <br /> of Police <br />
