MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa w,ight
From: James Bamett, Assistant Chief of Police
Sub,ject: Addition to the Police llepartment
Date: February 5, 2002
Chief Louis recently assigned Sgt. Danny Huff to work as the Sex Offender Tracking
Officer under the recent grant. He transferred Sgt. Shane Boatwright from patrol to
criminal invesiigation to replace Sgt. Huff.
This left a sergeant position open in patrol. He is requesting an additional sergeanYs
position be added to the Police L?eparhnent to fill this opening.
When approved this would mean our department would Consist of one Chief of Police
and the following number of offrcers in each rank:
1. 1 Assistant Chief of Police
2. 3 Police Lieutenants
3. 11 Police Sergeants
4. 3 Police Corporals
5. 49 Police Patrolmen
This would be 66 members and one chief for a total of 67 officers.
In regards to number 5 we would like to change the rank from Private back to Patrolman.
