MARSHAL A. KENNICCTT LETTER. The Clerk read the following letter:
•
The request made for an additional Lieutenant and one more Sergeant,making a total
of three Lieutenants and four Sergeants is to insure that there will be a man on
duty at all times to take the responsibility for the actions,of the police
department.
Situations arise daily in dealing with our business men and the general public
that requires an immediate decision and it is important to the administration,
the public and the Police Department that a qualified man be available.
The growth of the City has increased the need of more men being detailed on
traffic duty, clerical work, and investigations. In my opinion it will require
three more men for the efficient operation of the Department.
It has been fifteen years since there.has been a reduction in hours for the
department and I would like to have you consider a plan by which the men can
be cut to forty hours when possible without interfering with the operation of
the Department. This will attract a better group of applicants to fill vacancies
and should insure that the City will continue to have a department that will be
a credit to this fine city. •
Thanking you for your past cooperation.
Respectfully yours,
/s/ A. Kennicott
Marshal
