Item A: Police Auditor Recruitment Process

Home Browse Search

7. The greatest challenges for this assignment stem from the limited numbers of professionals who have the appropriate background and experience in this field. The National Association of Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement (NACOLE) lists 137 entities engaged in some formal level of citizen review, police advisory or police auditor activities. These range from simply advisory boards to formal police oversight functions. Challenges of a more generic nature are related to the current public sector recruitment market a Demographics reflect an aging public sector- workforce with a high representation of "Baby Boomers" who are nearing retirement. The net effect of this situation is a high level of qualified public servants who are leaving the workforce with a far smaller number available to fill open positions. We have also experienced a greater hesitancy to relocate based on the current housing concerns and other personal factors. Despite these challenges, we feel the City of Eugene is a highly desirable and attractive city, and are confident of our ~bility to provide a highly successful recruitment outcome.
