POLICE DEPARTMENT
Personnel Report: Chief Repola reported that applicant testing for
a police officer opening, provided by the COPS Grant, will take
place at the end of the month. Assistant Administrator Widmer noted
that Estes Park was not included in a listing of COPS Grant
recipients. Chief Repola verified that Estes Park is approved to
receive the grant. Officer Charles Rowe has resigned for a position
in Westminster, leaving another opening in the department.
Communications Center Backup Plan: Chief Repola reported that
Estes Park is a Public Safety Answering Point for 911. However,
due to Estes Park's remoteness, it is difficult to establish the
ability to switch to Larimer County facilities. A meeting is
scheduled with Motorola to determine the equipment and location
necessary for this capability. The fiber optics being installed by
PRPA is being pursued as a possible solution to this problem. A
status update will be provided at the March meeting.
