Authorize the expenditures of $52,916 for the purpose of reorganizing and decentralizing specific investigative functions in the Police Department. DISCUSSION• During fiscal year 1986-87, the Police Department began a process o effect a more community-centered approach to law enforcement by decentralizing uniformed patrol activities. Patrol functions were decentralized into territorial-based commands by creating patrol divisions in the North, South, East and West quadrants of the city. This territorial--based .approach has produced tangible results for the department allowing the public to have greater access to police services and enhanced police visibility in the community. In October 1989, Chief Thomas R. Windham established a Police Decentralization Task Force to develop the second phase of decentralization whereby specific investigative functions and personnel would be placed in each Patrol Division. The task force developed a decentralization plan utilizing existing Criminal Investigation Division personnel from General Assignment, Theft, Robbery and Burglary. Each new investigative section in the Patrol Divisions will be staffed with 1 Lieutenant, 1 Sergeant, 14 Corporal/Detectives, 2 Officers and 1 Clerk Typist III. The major component of this plan requires an additional bureau, the Executive Services Bureau, to be created and splitting the Uniform Services Bureau into geographically-based Field Operations Bureaus. Those bureaus will be the North/East Field Operations Bureau and the South/West Field Operations Bureau. The current Investigative Services Bureau will be renamed the Special Services Bureau. The Decentralization Task Force identified the following needs for personnel and equipment necessary to accomplish this reorganization.
