Case/Project No.:
Submitted by: Chief Matt Davis | Resolution 24-54
ITEM 6.B. | Council Action: 2/26/2024 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Resolution authorizing the City to award a $10,000 hiring bonus to police officer candidates certified by the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy. |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
This Resolution is a renewal of an existing Resolution set to expire on June 30, 2024. The $10,000 hiring bonus for certified officers was originally initiated to address difficulties in hiring qualified police officer candidates. It remains a challenge for the Council Bluffs Police Department and other law enforcement agencies nationwide to hire qualified officers. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation
Approval of this resolution.
Renewing this Resolution ensures the Council Bluffs Police Department would not be placed at a competitive disadvantage with other Iowa law enforcement agencies. |
