Box 1287 Estes Park, Colo. 80517 Dear Chief Racine: Since childhood I have been a staunch supporter of the police and suffered the normal peer rejection because of it. I recieved my degree in law enforcement and have worked with the Denver Police Department as a volunteer. the U.S. Marshals office out of Denver, and have had other civilian jobs working with various law enforcement agencies. The only reason for t.he "back,ground" information is to show that my interest in law enforcement is serioOs. I try to listen to gossip with a deaf ear but I am finding the latest gessip about the EPPD to be to outrageous to ignore, and feel that if nothing else you should be aware of the rumors,( trusting you don"t know about them already and have chosen to ignore it). In the past year you have advertised for a dispatch position at least on two seperate occasions. I know of four very qualified applicants who were never even called for an interview. These individuals have numerous years of experience with Colorado law enforcement agencies including the State Patrol as a dispatcher. They hold degrees, have aught law enforcement at local colleges,they have dispatched, "worked he street" as supervisors as well as patrolmen and needless to say re well qualified. They are all locals and I feel should have at east been given the courtesy of an interview. o add to the insult and the rumors that The Estes Park Police Dept. s not very interested in getting and keeping qualified police personel, is the background and qualifications of some current dispatchers. Not only is their experience far less than other applicants, but the deadly rumor that is spreading is that at least one has a background of drug involvement,(specifically selling of same.) Favoritism and personal considerations is common among alot of businesses, but if this is the case here I think something better be done before the department loses all credibility. Yes, I was one to apply and never be called, but I don"t write this in an attempt for a job, revenge or for any other motive other than I hate to try and support and.defend a department that may legitimatly have some serious problems with credibility. Truthfully, if I were offered a job at this point I would have a very hard time accepting the position knowing now that there are other more qualified applicants interested. You see, I believe in the best person for the job and hiring based on qualif, cations only. I feel more qualified than some you have now. but there are at least two I know of, more qualified than I who would add a bit more professionalism to the force. You have some wonderful officers and your dispatchers should compliment them and not malÂ» their job wore difficult Listening to my scanner, I have been shorked, appaled and angered nt the aititude and upport, backup and information crucial to their job i hope you will accept this letter in the spirit it was intended, I write out of genuine concern and interest. Before making judgements of any kind, I try and go directly to those involved to; 1-learn the 'ruth and 2- give them the benifit of the doubt and assume they are unaware of what is rumored to be going on. There are always two sides to every story and I like to at least try and Â·hear both sides before criticizing and judging. Sometimes hearing the other side is impossible or not worth the problem. But I feel my concerns in this matter are legitimate, important and worth the trouble. I apologise for the length and ramblings of this letter but appreciate your time to read it. I know there are numerous problems you must deal with, and probably the most important of those being officer morale. I wish you luck as it seems that all you have accomplished previously is now seriously threatened. Sincerely yours, tkal.--, 1 1% 0- Catherine B. Burton ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY IP CLINTON POWER STATION. P.O. BOX 678. CLINTON. ILLINOIS 61727 605 North Richard Drive MaMomet, Illinois 61853 August 22, 1988 Estes Park Police Department Estes Park, CO 80617 Attention: Chief of Police Dear Sir: I am writing to commend your police department's responsiveness in general and in particular the helpful, courteous assistance we received from Officer Greg Filsinger. My friend Kim Anderson and I were traveling in the Park last June and had stopped for supplies in Estes Park when I discovered that I had locked my keys in the car. Your dispatcher sent Officer Filsinger to the rescue and we were back on the road in no time at all. Officers like Greg Filsinger should be considered a credit to your organization. Thank you once again for your help.

There are two day care facilities as well as five families with two or more children under the age of six in this neighborhood. This street is used frequently as a short cut between Highway 7 and Highway 36, by motorists as well as commercial vehicles. The traffic goes so fast they are unaware of the number of small children that are present, giving us parents cause for concern. We would appreciate your action on this matter.

Additionally, the billing and tracking of these purchases is expensive in terms of confirming, checking for double billings, and disbursements for those single items. Proposal Civilian All civilian personnel, with the exception of the Code Enforcement Officer, were given new office type apparel in 1988. I propose that the department no longer be responsible for these items, but that civilian personnel (Communications Supervisor, Records Technician, Dispatchers and Secretary) be given an allowance of $75.00 in 1989 and $150.00 in 1990 and that they be given an allowance, the amount to be determined yearly, each year following. Along with that allowance will go the responsibility Of keeping their atire in acceptable condition as per the regulation to follow. Sworn Personnel Purchases in this area were kept to a minimum in 1988. Current uniforms are in minimally acceptable condition. I propose that new uniforms be purchased in 1989. Their shirt colors will change to dark blue long sleeve for fall/winter and light blue short sleeves for spring/summer. Leather items such as gun belts, holsters etc. will be inspected and replaced as needed. Spring jackets will be provided and winter coats be replaced as needed. It is anticipated that this be accomplished in June of 1989. I further propose that after this date, officers receive an allowance of $200.00 per year, $100.00 in December 1989, for the upkeep of their uniform and the attendant responsibility for upkeep of same. This allowance would be paid twice yearly, one half in June and one half in December. Part Time Summer Personnel The department will continue to supply two shirts, one pair of trousers, one cap and one rain coat for these persons. All equipment will remain the property Of the Estes Park Police Department and will be replaced as needed at the onset of each tourist season. PROPOSED REGULATION Civilian Incoming personnel Will be issued the currently authorized attire/equipment for their assigned duties. The department will be responsible for replacement of items which become unserviceable for that first year unless the employee has been grossly negligent in caring for the items. Subsequent to the first year of employment, the employee will receive the current allowance for the replacement and upkeep of their work attire. This allowance will be pro-rated from date of hire to the first day of the following year. Sworn Personnel Sworn personnel in mid 1989 were outfitted with new or serviceable complete uniform issue, including: 2 pair dark blue uniform trousers 2 summer shirts 2 winter shirts 1 spring jacket (dark blue nylon) 1 winter coat (nylon or leather) 1 rain coat 1 inner belt (velcro) 1 outer belt (velcro) 1 double cuff case 1 double speed loader case 1 holster 1 PR-24 baton 1 PR-24 holder 1 bullet resistent vest allowance of $175.00 1 revolver 18 rounds of ammunition 1 Estes Park Police badge 1 name tag and year of service pin Each new officer will be equipped as above. The department will be responsible for replacement for the first year of issue, barring gross negligence. Thereafter, officers will receive the current allowance in twice yearly payments. Officers completing their first year of service in a calender year Will receive a pro-rated amount for the balance of that year. Each officer will be responsible for maintaining his complete uniform in acceptable condition and will have his or her complete issue inspected by the Chief of Police at least once yearly and may be ordered at any time to replace any item deemed unserviceable. All items issued or purchased remain the property of the department. Officers serving in a plain clothes capacity may use their allowance to purchase civilian attire as long as their uniform gear is properly maintained.
