FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A PLAN TO UTILIZE A PART-TIME POLICE CONTINGENT DURING PEAK CRIME HOURS WITHIN IDENTIFIED HIGH CRIME AREAS, GIVEN A CITY AUSTERITY PROGRAM PROHIBITING EMPLOYMENT OF ADDITIONAL FULL-TIME PATROLMEN.

Abstract

THE DEPARTMENT PROPOSES TO EMPLOY 40 PART-TIME OFFICERS, WHO WOULD BE SELECTED, TRAINED, AND ASSIGNED DUTIES IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE FULL-TIME FORCE, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THEY WOULD WORK NOT LESS THAN 12 NOR MORE THAN 20 HOURS PER WEEK AND WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE WORK SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS IMPOSED BY THE UNION CONTRACT. PERSONNEL WOULD ALSO BE PERMITTED TO CONTINUE THEIR CIVILIAN EMPLOYMENT. THE CONSULTANT INDICATED THAT, WITH APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE PLANNING AGENCY, THE NEW HAVEN POLICE DEPARTMENT COULD AMELIORATE SEVERAL CONSTRAINING ISSUES AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGE TO DEVELOP A PROJECT APPLICATION. A COPY OF THE PROPOSED PLAN IS APPENDED....ELW
