SUMMARY
The City of Hayward Police Department requested a review of the duties of two incumbents in the classification of Crime Prevention Specialist, to determine the appropriate classification based on assigned duties and responsibilities. Based on the analysis provided by an outside consultant, it was determined that the current incumbents are performing professional level duties that require an increase in independence, scope and education required. Additionally, the job audit findings resulted in a recommendation for the City to flexibly staff the classification, providing an entry and journey level for the class series.
