SUBJECT: Part-time and Auxiliary Police Officers
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members
of the City Council with information to consider amending Chapters
2 . 56 "Part-time Officer" and 2 . 57 "Auxiliary Police Officer" of the
Elgin Municipal Code.
BACKGROUND
The Police Department utilizes part-time and auxiliary officers to
assist with operations . They are used to provide security at City
rHall, the Hemmens, the Library, and in situations to supplement
other resources related to traffic matters for some special events .
They are not used to permanently replace full time officers for
regular duty or to reduce overtime opportunities for full time
officers as this is prohibited in the PB PA Unit 54 contract .
There are currently 15 positions authorized in the City of Elgin
Police Department budget . The training standards are established
under State Law for part-time officers, and are similar to the
standards for full time officers . The Police Department has
applied for accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation for
Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) . The process is ongoing with
policy development . The Police Department is reviewing and
updating all policies to include the hiring standards related to
any part-time or auxiliary officers . The standard requires that
part time members be filled through a selection process based on
skills, knowledge and ability for the assignment to include
education, experience and special skills . The existing ordinance
provides for these positions to be filled through a Mayoral
appointment, not including a selection process similar to that for
full time officers . The amendment has been requested to comply
with the CALEA standard and utilize the same standards for hiring
part-time and auxiliary officers that are used for full time
officers .
