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. ~O~U, ~~re~or~, ~~ t1r Orba~fttte~ ~ ~~ ~OmmOtY flLOlttt~iZ 0~ f.~~ ~f~~ 0~ ~i01t~ ~~, ~1X~f~lt~, as follows: Section I.
