Background The existing police officer eligibility list was established on June 6, 2018. The City recently hired two new police officers from this list. At the June 6, 2018 Police Civil Service Commission meeting, the Commission approved the participation in the 2018 Pathways to Policing recruitment program. In order to establish an eligibility list for the Pathways to Policing police trainee, the Commission must decertify the existing police officer eligibility list. This action is provided under Section 10 (d), as amended in December 2013, “an eligibility list will be maintained from the date approved by the Commission until a recommendation from staff to decertify the list is brought before the Commission for their consideration.” Attachments 1.

Participation in this program will help the City in its efforts to achieve its racial equity initiatives as well as help staff the Police Department with employees more reflective of the City’s demographics. Background The interview process for the Pathways to Policing Police Trainee program has been completed. This unique, non-traditional recruitment process was a joint effort with the cities of Bloomington, St. Louis Park, Columbia Heights, Eagan, Plymouth, Shakopee, Inver Grove Heights, the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the University of Minnesota Police. Maplewood’s participation started with two days of second-round interviews followed up with final interviews by the Police Chief. Maplewood’s interview panel conducted second round interviews on the top 16 candidates, based on their scores from the first-round interviews and their agencies of interest. Based on the average score from Maplewood’s panel, the top six candidates moved on to the final Police Chief’s interview. Attached are the exam results of the second-round interviews and the Police Chief’s interviews along with the proposed eligibility list for the Pathways to Policing Police Trainee. Attachments 1.

The background summaries have been labeled randomly, A through D, for anonymity. Recommended Action: A. Motion to approve background summaries for Candidates A, B, C and D. B. Motion to certify the names of approved Candidates A, B C and D for vacancy. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No ☐ Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s): ☐ Adopted Budget ☐ Budget Modification ☐ New Revenue Source □ Use of Reserves Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: □ Financial Sustainability □ Integrated Communication □ Targeted Redevelopment  Operational Effectiveness □ Community Inclusiveness □ Infrastructure & Asset Mgmt. Approval and certification of the four background investigations will allow the Police Department to move forward in making job offers to two candidates to fill the two new police trainee positions. Background Due to the timing of the completion of the interview process for this recruitment and when official job offer letters are required per the Pathways to Policing timeline, which is August 17th, the City moved forward in backgrounding the top four candidates shortly after the Chief’s interviews. Normally that backgrounding process would start after the formal establishing of an eligibility list by the Commission. Once the backgrounds have been approved and names certified for vacancy, conditional job officers will be made to two of the candidates recommended by the Police Chief, contingent upon passing the psychological exam as well as the pre-employment physical/work performance agility exams.
