2.Chief’s Update
Developed plans and goals for the Strategic plan.
Goal #1 is staffing in 2013 we lost 7 officers, the majority were ones who did not pass field
o
training or probation. Currently 69 positions are filled, 6 in background, of them are 5 lateral
candidates. There are currently two open positions for non-commissioned personnel.
View recruiting video, the video can be found on U-tube by searching “Tukwila Police
Recruiting Video.”
Changes were made in the strategic plan so now it goes back to the consultant, then back to the
o
City Manager, Mayor and Council for their information. This is not something the Council
approves; however the City Council will be kept informed of the PD Strategic Plan.
