What is Executive Staff?
The CSPD Executive Staff is made up of three different divisions: CSPD Human Resources, Police Finance, and Research & Development. These divisions are staffed by civilians who help keep the day-to-day operations of the police department going and aid in strategic planning for the future.
CSPD Human Resources
There are two sides to CSPD's Human Resources Team. First is the employee services side. This section helps oversee general benefits, employee retention, as well as the court liaison unit. The second section is Recruiting and Advancement. This section includes the background investigators, the polygraph unit, and the recruitment office.
Police Finance
The Police Finance division oversees the budget and spending of the entire police department. They work closely with command staff to determine budgetary needs from year to year. They also work with the city finance office to advocate for those discussed budgetary needs. This team also oversees any grants the police department receives.
Research and Development
The Research and Development team helps CSPD stay in best practices for policing by staying up to date on national & local data, analyzing legislation, and helping advocate for the police department at the policy level. They help inform and craft CSPD policies so we align with both legislative demands and best practices.
