Civilian Positions. (a) BOISE CITY may utilize a 13:1 ratio of Sworn Officers to civilian Community Service Officer (CSO) positions to perform routine duties customarily performed by sworn officers. Such duties may include but are not limited to handling of reports, crime scene investigations, investigative follow-up, found property, abandoned vehicles, or other low risk/low priority calls, etc. This agreement does not prevent BOISE CITY from adding additional civilian positions which are not currently held by sworn officers and not customarily performed by sworn officers. The Union agrees BOISE CITY may round up to the nearest whole number when calculating this figure.
Civilian Positions. The parties agree that certain civilian positions may be created within the Vancouver Police Department. The City of Vancouver may establish and fill the civilian positions. The City may also establish and fill such volunteer (unpaid) positions as it deems necessary. The duties of civilian employees and volunteers shall be determined by the City of Vancouver, provided that their duties will not include work that is currently performed on a regular basis by members of the Guild without the agreement of the Guild. The parties further agree that civilian employees or volunteers will not carry firearms or have powers of custodial arrest. Job descriptions for each civilian position shall be available for inspection. The parties agree that civilian employees may:
(1) Respond to priority 3, 4 or 5 calls at the discretion of the supervisor or precinct commander.
(2) Respond to priority 1 or 2 calls in a support capacity at the request of the supervisor or precinct commander.
(3) Be granted limited commission authority for: parking enforcement duties related to parking violations (e.g., writing parking citations, facilitating the towing of vehicles, and other parking related tasks). When these civilian employees are not available, sworn officers may still respond to such calls based on the availability of sufficient staff at the time of the call at the discretion of the supervisor or precinct commander. Duties of civilian employees and/or volunteers may also include:
(1) Graffiti abatement.
(2) Crime prevention education.

Civilian Positions. The Association proposed changes to salaries of three civilian positions, that of the Court Case Manager, the Media Relations Officer and the Information Technology Officer. The Association submitted that these positions are usually uniform bargaining unit positions, but in this bargaining unit are civilian positions. The members in these positions were formerly uniform members, and moved to these positions when each was being accommodated. The Association proposed that these positions which are currently paid $50,494, be paid at the rate of 90% of the First Class Constable rate, which if had been applicable in 2004, would have resulted in a salary of $58,745. Although the duties may have been performed by persons who were formerly uniform members, an interest dispute is not the right forum to dispute the salary received after accommodation. Aside from rectifying an accommodation in the manner proposed by the Association, historically, these positions have been civilian positions in this bargaining unit, and the data did not support a change in the treatment of these positions. Therefore I deny the Association’s request. The Association proposed that the salary of the Information Technology Officer be increased from the current $55,543 to $65,000 in 2005 and $75,000 in 2006. As the Information Technology Officer has applied to the Ontario Civilian Commission on Policing (OCCOPS) to be considered as part of the newly formed Senior Officers Association, I will remain seized of the resolution of the salary for this position, should this position remain in this bargaining unit. However in the interim, the Information Technology Officer is to receive the same percentage increase as the other civilian members.
Civilian Positions. The Parties understand that there are civilian positions that would be necessary to support the Sheriff in its police protection and presence. The Town will establish and fill civilian positions to assist with the additional clerical/records management of the Xxxxxxx City Police District and maintenance. The Sheriff will supervise crossing guards, which are Town employees. The Town will be responsible for bingo inspections, checking parking meters, and repair functions/positions.
