Incumbents in these part-time, non-safety <br />classifications will be assigned duties currently performed by full-time <br />sworn personnel, and will allow the Department to deploy the latter in <br />other police activities. <br /> <br />Background Investigator will be used as needed to conduct background <br />investigations on applicants for both sworn and non-sworn City positions. <br />These duties were previously performed by full-time Police Officers who <br />have been reassigned to Field Operations to increase the number of sworn <br />posi tions performing patrol duties. The reassignments in turn have <br />created a backlog of background investigations that must be completed in <br />order to hire additional Police Department personnel <br /> <br />Jail Transportation Officer will be used to transport inmates from the <br />jail to court, medical facilities, and other destinations for which an <br />armed escort is required. Currently, a sworn off icer is removed from <br />patrol duties to perform this assignment, and these occasions have <br />increased as the need to transport inmates has increased. The creation <br />of this part-time classification will allow the Department to continue to <br />.fUlfill its obligation to transport inmates without reducing the number <br />of Police Officers who are assigned to regular Police Officer duties 0 <br /> <br />55C-1 <br />
