The CONTRACT for the NEW COP

The new Chief of Police will be on probation for 12 months.  This is the standard time frame for new hires off a Civil Service List.  The new COP will also be evaluated in writing every 30 days.  That is NOT standard.  Actually that is excessive.  It is like having someone looking over your shoulder every minute.  I do not know about you, but when I am doing something new,  I do better when I am given some space.  Mistakes are a learning tool......don't you agree?  The VB has made this a High Profile position by their actions or non actions.

Add a contract to this new position and who ever takes this job is doomed to failure.  The contract was discussed at last nights meeting and can be heard in the audio COP Meeting Part II.  Scroll down or Click This Link to listen to it.  The discussion starts at 11minutes:50seconds.  The VB says that each candidate was made aware of this contract and its guidelines.  Each candidate was also told that first they get a warning and then the second infraction is immediate dismissal.  Sounds like a hostile work environment to me! None of the candidates were given a copy of this contract because supposedly Attorney Gebo is drafting it up.  I say BOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLSHIT.  To quote a friend of mine........These are Draconian Measures created to break the Civil Service list ......
