Here is copy of the job search for the new Chief of Police for Minneapolis. If someone you know is interested, they are encouraged to apply. The deadline is October 27th. A copy of the search brochure is available at the attached link. http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/jobs/docs/PChiefBrochure.pdf
An interesting note: One requirement of the new chief is at least 10+ years of at executive command experience. If literally interpreted, it would seem to shut out most, if not all, of the internal candidates. The job search also makes notice of the fact that the Mayor is seeking a variance from the MN State public employee salary restrictions. It begs the question: Why, in light of the city�s current budget, is Minneapolis willing to spend nearly $250,000 to employee two chiefs of police? The Park�s Director of Public Safety and the MPD Police Chiefs job have essentially the same mission. Both are asked to reduce crime, collaborate with the community and other criminal justice system partners, and to keep our city safe and secure. Granted, city charter changes would be needed. Currently the two separate police departments are funded from two separate taxing authorities. But why continue to fragment job function and the public safety mission? Combine the job, combine the police departments and save money (perhaps to hire new diverse officers). Would appreciate other list members opinions on their new police chief.

Ignore obvious flame-bait. ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
