Description
The City of Harper Woods had operated traditional police and fire service delivery. With declining revenues and the need to reduce expenditures through staffing reductions the ability to provide adequate services was significantly diminished.
A hybrid public safety concept was developed that significantly reduced staffing for the fire department by cross training police officers as police fire fighters. Negotiations were held with both unions and agreements were obtained that accomplished the following goals:
Elimination of Police and Fire Chief and creation of Public Safety Directors position.
Reduce number of full time fire fighters with a guarantee of minimum number of full time fire fighters to remain on staff.
Cross training of all police officers to include fire fighting duties.
Agreements with fire fighters to work in unison with fire trained police officers.
Joint training to insure increased efficiency and operational stability
Barriers:
Process involved negotiations with three separate unions to adopt contract language that would permit consolidation of operations. Initial reluctance from public and local politicians had to be overcome.
