SUBJECT: OFFENDER TRACKING TASK OFFICER
DATE: DECEMBER 19, 2001
The Adult Probation Department in conjunction with Allied Counseling
has been awarded a two - year grant in the amount of $250,000.00. As a
part of the grant, they were awarded money for one police officer to be
funded as an Offender Tracking Task Officer. This woWd entail all seg
offender registration, tracking, enforcement, web - site information and
maintenance, etc. They have offered to donate $44,165.83 a year
towards this officer's position to the City of Paris Police Department.
Sgt. Danny Huff, who has been our investigator assigned to aggravated
offenses against children would very much like to have the opportunity
to be assigned this position. This would allow us to move one of the
eaisting Patrol Sergeants to Danny's vacant position in CID and give a
promo6onal exam for an additional Sergeant, which is sorely needed.
This would then create a Corporal's position which could also be tested
for and allow for some upward mobility within the department. As you
may know, we have not added any personnel to CID since 1990 when I
became Chief. Lt. Tuttle and Sgt. Huff had atready asked me several
times to add another investigator because of the incre$sed case load. I
have held off until now, but with the assistance of this grant for at least
two years, (and the possibility of an eatension), I believe this is the right
time to initiate this process. The money from the grant would almost
pay for another Sergeant's salary and benefits. This would be an
outstanding opportunity for our City and the Department.
The case load has increased by the thousands since 1990 and our arrests
have gone up from 1955 arrests in 1990 to approaimately 3000 arrests
by the end of this year. These are significant increases and the need
exists. This would be a golden opportunity to increase our manpower
with minor increased costs on behalf of the city. I appreciate your
consideration of the acceptance of this money and an opportunity to
assist the citizens with the additional investigator if possible.

Karl, I placed this on the agenda after I got a copy of your memo. Is this something the City Council
applied for and now we're accepting?

Lisa,
I don't know if you have been informed or not so I thought I would bring this to your attention. It
may already be on the ageada, I don't know. We will need an item for the City of Paris to accept
$44,165.83 for a position entitled Offender Tracking Task Officer from a grant applied for by the
Lamar County Adult Probation Office and Allied Counseling. There is no match required by the
City to accept this grant. This is a grant which has recentiy been approved and all we have to
do is accept the funding to add a position. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
Karl Louis
Chief of Police
