POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Customer Service & Satisfaction — Request Approval.
Dir. McFarland explained the Police Department intended to provide "Customer
Service" training in 2005 for all employees in an effort to develop and refine
interpersonal communication skills. Unfortunately, this task was not accomplished
due to timing. The Police Department and Finance Department would like to
collaborate efforts for both departments to receive the training. The training would
include 40 employees for a cost of $9,600 with services provided by Griggs
Achievement Academy. Following discussion, the Committee recommends
approval of retaining the services of Griggs Achievement Academy to provide
Customer Service training for a cost not to exceed $9,600.

and procedure manual for revision and development of new policies.
