Summary
This report is to inform the Civil Service Commission of action taken by the Director of Human Resources approving three new classification specifications titled Code and Housing Enforcement Official, Public Safety Telecommunications Manager, and Property and Records Manager. In addition, an amendment to the Code Enforcement Field Manager was necessary to align with the classification family. Per Rule IV, section 5(b) the Director of Human Resources shall approve all new or amended class specifications and file with the Secretary of the Commission.
The classification specifications stem from the complex nature of the Police Department’s various service operations, where effective management requires a deep understanding of unique processes, protocols, and regulation. The new Code and Housing Enforcement Official, Public Safety Telecommunications Manager, and Property and Records Manager classifications address this by attracting individuals with relevant experience, proficiency in compliance and regulations, and alignment with the organization’s culture, values, and mission.
