Who runs the LP Records Bureau? Is it supervised by an officer, or by a civilian?

With all due respect to the present supervision, I bet I could make some revenue for the City of LP. I'm not full of myself (most of the time ), but I've been trained at the police academy and have had plenty of experience bringing in the dough.

I've seen some openings in other communites, but don't feel a personal connection to go above and beyond the call of duty. Being a past resident, I have a place in my heart for LP, and would love to make a difference for your community.

Do you think it's possible during these tough, economic times to bring in a new person? One who could relieve a much needed officer to do the job intended, instead of paperwork?

I've long thought about it. I was wondering what the members/Council would think of such an idea. I mean no disrespect for whoever is doing the job at this time.

Accountability for all, big or small, is what's needed this fall.

An office staff runs that department, NOT on-duty police officers. The person in charge down there is also who handles the FOIA requests for the city. She's a very nice lady. Her name is Colleen Snethkamp. Their offices are at the end of the Police Department that is closest to City Hall.

If my memory serves me, I've spoken with her before about FOIA. When I first starting doing FOIA, if I had a question, I was advised to call Lincoln Park PD Records. The woman there was the best at FOIA. Kudos to you, Colleen!

Thanks, Wolverine. Some cities have civilians, and some have officers. I was curious, as I really do care about LP.
