B. POLICY REVIEW
Policy #920 – Master Designation: Chief Spears presented to the Board the proposed
policy of Master Designation for officers. This policy allows officers to achieve
advancement and recognition within their rank of officer, and includes professional
achievement through leadership training and community involvement. The Master
designation can be achieved by patrol officers and detectives, who do not hold a
higher rank, but will be compensated when the Master designation is achieved. This
will allow officers an alternative to applying for a promotion merely as a means to
increase pay, and still have a leadership role within the department.
Commissioner Rosenfeld made a motion to approve Policy #920, Master
designation. Commissioner Garrett seconded the motion. All in favor. The motion
passed with a vote of 4-0.
