PROPOSED ORDINANCE 3-15-01S IN AMENDMENT OF TITLE 2.16 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CRANSTON, 2005, ENTITLED ‘POLICE DEPARTMENT’

It is ordained by the City Council of the City of Cranston as follows:

Section 1. Title 2. Chapter 2.16.010 entitled POLICE DEPARTMENT- Composition, is hereby amended to read as follows:

A. The police department of the city shall consist of sworn officers.

B. The sworn members of the police department shall be as follows: one chief of police who shall hold the rank of colonel, two majors, six captains, one captain first class, eight lieutenants, nineteen (19) sergeants, and one hundred seventeen (117) police officers.

C. A police department patrol officer who is permanently assigned as a police department prosecution officer shall be known as an inspector of police while serving in this capacity.

D. In the event of a transfer of a police department patrol officer from the position of inspector of police, police department prosecution officer to another permanent patrol officer position within the police department, such police department patrol officer will no longer be known as an inspector of police but this title will be assumed by his or her replacement.

E. The Captain first class position is created as a vacant placeholder pursuant to a negotiated memorandum of understanding with the union for the exclusive use and benefit of one individual promoted to Major in February 2015. Said position is to be filled by that person only and under the limiting specific circumstance of that particular appointment losing his current major position as a result of the major’s position being defunded or eliminated by the council. These positions are not to be filled by anyone other than the individual (named in the aforementioned memorandum of understanding) appointed to the position of major in February 2015.

F. Once aforementioned major reaches retirement eligibility said Captain First class position shall be abolished without any need for further ordinance by this Council.
