Richard Loveall, Police Services, presented the staff report. He said the Crime Action Task Force proposed the City hire two specialists to respond to certain types of enforcement situations not requiring police officers. He said the Department of Public Safety has hired three specialists. However, he said it is the opinion of the department that the specialists lack the authority to carry out their duties. Lt. Loveall said the ordinance would give the specialists the ability to enforce noise violations as well as parking, abandoned vehicle, and animal regulations. He said the ordinance only gives the specialists the authority to cite offenders. They will not be able to issue traffic citations. Ms. Ehrman asked what kinds of uniforms, if any, the specialists will wear. Lt. Loveall said the specialists will wear grey uniforms. Police officers currently wear blue uniforms.
