Actually all steps through Step ±�4 were carried out except for those which pertain to the 2nd Lt . position. As soon as the Lt . ' s eligibility exam is given, we will be able to fill that position. This temporarily leaves us with one patrolman over our authorized strength of 21. The fifth Sgt. was also authorized at this meeting and is being placed in the ordinance at this time. In brief, we have one more patrolman than authorized and one less Lt . than authorized . Purpose of this ordinance is to bring our ordinance in line with department strength. After the Lt . examination, then a new ordinance will have to be passed increasing the number of Lt. ' s to 2 and reducing the number of patrolmen back to 21. Step #5 of our Organizational Objectives for the 174-75 year has been shelved temporarily in an economy measure . Respectfully yours , K G. Car ill Manager 1s OAK BROOK. POLICE DEPARTMENT 1974 - 1975 ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVES The objective of the police department is to provide a service to the residents and their guests . These services include protection of life and property and for their safe use of the roadways . Police duties include general preventative patrol , traffic contacts and enforcement, accident prevention and investigation , criminal investiga- tion and apprehension , involvement will juveniles and general law enforce- ment. Proposed personnel for the Oak Brook Police Department for the fiscal year 1974-75 includes twenth-nine sworn personnel , six civilian radio operators , two civilian clerks and one civilian secretary . The department will operate ten patrol vehicles ; four marked , four unmarked and two marked combination patrol/ambulance vehicles , all of which are radio equipped and carry emergency equipment. The increase in personnel requested will enable the duties of the department to be more evenly balanced . Starting at the top will be two Lieutenants , each will head a seperate function of the department. One of these Lieutenants will be in charge of operations . Operations include patrol , traffic , ambulance and juvenile functions of the depart- ment . He will be directly responsible to the Chief for the operation of the department in these areas . The second Lieutenant will be in charge of Administration and Services . This area includes criminal investigation, court liaison , intelligence , communications , records , reception , public information , public relations and services , which include maintenance and supply , jail and laboratory operations . Under the Lieutenant in operations will be four Sergeants . Three will be Shift Commanders and the fourth will be a relief Shift Commander when the Shift Commander is off duty . Under these Sergeants will be eighteen Patrolmen who will perform the functions required in patrol , traffic , ambulance and juvenile areas . Under the Lieutenant in the Administration and Services area will be a Sergeant in charge of investigation who will be responsible for co-ordinating the Detective function of the department. A civilian Sergeant will be in charge of the Communications function. Two records and reception clerks to keep the files and records updated will also be in this section . The changes in the department structure will be accomplished on a five step program over a six month period as shown in the following explana- tions and diagrams . PLAN OF IMPLEMENTATION STEP 1#1 PRE MAY 1st 1974 Fill our present authorized table of organization before the new budget year . Fill the Lieutenant vacancy from our present eligibility list. This Lieutenant will be in charge of operations and would be responsible for the co-ordination of all uniformed personnel . He would have immedi - ately under his command , three Sergeants who will each be in charge of a duty shift. Under the Sergeants command would be seventeen patrolmen assigned to pat- rol , traffic and ambulance duties . The patrolmen would be assigned to particular duty assignments by work load at that particular time . When the Sergeant is moved to the Lieutenant position , it will create a vacancy in a position of Sergeant. At this time promote one patrolman , who is on the eligibility list , to the position of Sergeant. With the promotion of this patrolman , there will be an opening in the position of patrolman. At this time hire a man from our patrolman eligibility list. This will put us at authorized strength , as authorized by the 1973-74 budget. See Figure #1 . STEP #2 MAY 1974 We will be authorized under budget for a total strength of 38 persons . At this time one new patrolman shall be hired . This will bring the number of patrolmen to 21 . See Figure #2. STEP #3 AUGUST 1974 At this time our Lieutenant and Sergeant eligibility list will have expired . It will be necessary for promotional exams to be given for Lieutenant and Sergeant . One Sergeant will be promoted to Lieutenant and one Patrolman to Sergeant. A new man will be hired from the patrol - man eligibility list. See Figure #3 . l STEP #4 SEPTEMBER 1974 At this time one more Sergeant position will be created on the Depart- ment . This position will be necessary for the supervision of the Detective Division function . A patrolman on the Sergeants list shall be promoted . This promotion will leave a vacancy in the patrolman ' s classification , at this time we will hire one more man off the patrol man list. See Figure #4 . STEP #5 OCTOBER or NOVEMBER 1974 At this time we will hire our sixth Communications Officer and second Clerk. Hiring them at this time will enable them to be trained for the approaching busy season . We also will have a large amount of con- densing of records to do for our approaching new building . At this time the Department will be at full authorized strength . See Figure #5.
