RE: June 2010 Monthly Report
Dear Mayor,
The monthly report for the month of June, 2010 appears that we have had a down turn in our calls for service. This is not the case as you should realize that we have been one officer short for the month of June, plus Chief Owen was on vacation for 10 days and was gone an additional couple of days for the DARE conference. Leaving only one officer to answer and generate calls.
We have begun our employment search during the month of June and I have completed the background check on an individual that I am making a recommendation for hiring Wyatt Bertram for our third officer position. Wyatt attended the same police academy as Officer Dixon and was hired by the Grafton Police Department in North Dakota. He has 8 months of police experience and has passed his complete background check. Wyatt and his wife and children have already moved to the Baggs. He will be able to begin immediately. His prior certification from Minnesota will be transferable to Wyoming and he will be able to obtain a one year temporary certification upon employment. With approval of the Town Council he will begin his employment on July 14, 2010 and will be paid $16.00 per hour until he attains his full Wyoming Certification. Wyatt has an educational background and worked as a teacher for 6 years with experience in special education, and coaching of football, track, and basketball. I believe he will not only be an asset to the police department but an asset to the community at large.
We are currently processing the letters to go out for Weed Violations and we have hopes of getting back on track with the abandoned vehicle impounds by mid July. We continue to see criminal violations and investigations taking up a major part of our time. With the addition of the third officer and after his FTO time we should be in a position to become even more proactive in our community policing efforts.
