AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, AMENDING ORDINANCE N0.8889-98 ADDRESSING TECHNICAL CHANGES
TO THE DETECTIVE CLASSIFICATION FAY
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
On February 23, 1998, the Council passed Ordinance No. 8889-98 at the request of the
then Police Chief. Chief Gunn and his staff were attempting to reorganize the Investigative
Division of the police department in the continuing effort to attract qualified individuals and to
address pay inequities.
The reorganization included the implementation of a tier system and a testing program.
Despite its overall positive intentions, that reorganization has been determined to be insufficient to
meet the goals and objectives of the current Police Department Administration and the overall needs
and goals of the Investigative Division of the South Bend Police Department.
As a result of many hours of discussion and the efforts of a special committee appointed to
address the ongoing issues relative to the reorganization, it has been concluded that a further
reorganization is necessary. All past testing and tier systems would be eliminated. It is believed
that the passage of this ordinance would be in the best interests of the Investigative Division of the
South Bend Police Department, and the City of South Bend, Indiana.
