Memorandum 15-090
TO:
City Manager Koester
FROM:
Mark Robl, Chief of Police
DATE:
June 18, 2015
SUBJECT:
Jail Officer Certifications
It is important for us to ensure our jail officers are certified by the state and conform to state standards for Municipal Corrections Officers. Having our officers certified helps to reduce liability for us and conform to the state jail standards for jail operations. The state passed AS 18.65.290(5) which requires us to adopt an ordinance under AS 18.65.285 to require our officers to meet Alaska Police Council Standards for municipal officers if we want them to be certified. Our city attorney has drafted an ordinance to accomplish this. I recommend we ask council to approve the ordinance.
