From POA bulletin March 2012
As we mentioned in last month‘s issue of
the Bulletin, we had discussed the need for
some changes and improvements in Community
Watch with district management and had
been assured that changes were indeed about
to be made. Implementation of these changes
is now in progress.
In a letter to all Community Watch Personnel
sent out February 15, 2012 Scott
Wilder, head of Community Watch, reviewed
the steps being taken to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the Community
Watch organization. Patrol and dispatch will
now transition from six hour shifts to eight
hour shifts. Mr. Wilder specifically requested
employee involvement in determining how to
best staff the Morse North and Morse South
gates as well as playing a role in identifying
key components and suggesting methods to
smooth the organizational transition.
The roles and responsibilities of the Manager
of Support Services position are being
reviewed and revised. The posting for this
open position is forthcoming. On a further
management note, Carl Kemp, Assistant Director,
is expected to remain on disability
leave for quite some time.
Chief Wilder‘s note asked all Community
Watch employees ―to work together, grow
and function as a team to provide improved
communication and better organization.‖
We wish Chief Wilder and the Community
Watch team our heartiest best wishes for
a successful and effective transition.
