Divisional Rank (if any):

Position description (please provide details about the position need):
[form will expand as needed]
The Coordinator is responsible for planning and directing all instructional activities in the
academy. The Manager is also expected to develop and maintain professional relationships with
law enforcement and regulatory agencies at all levels of government.
Statement of Need (Justify the need for the position)
This position is required by POST if we are going to have a Basic Law Enforcement Academy. For
about the past four years, we have been using a hodge-podge mix of part-time personnel. We
have tried one part-time coordinator several times, but these have usually been different people
for succeeding classes, two part-time personnel splitting the academy day (someone in the
morning and someone in the afternoon), and most recently using a retired PERS annuitant
coordinator who is splitting his time (960 hours) between the Fall and Spring classes, trying to fill
the coordinator role. None of these have proven satisfactory, and a cost review showed hiring
the full-time position would actually be more cost effective for the College.
Link with Institutional Goal/Assessment Results (Describe):
This position is vital to maintaining the College Core Value of Education Excellence and
Innovation. This person is responsible for the ongoing planning and implementation of needed
changes in the program and helping move the program toward excellence.
