Police Officer recruits were allocated to the Trainee classification until they had completed the Saint Paul Police Academy. The Police Trainee class is no longer used for incoming Police Officer recruits; the recnut position aze now allocated directly to the Police Officer class while assigned to the Saint Paul Police Academy. The reason the Police Trainee ciassification is no longer used is two-fold. First, the pay rate for the Police Trainee class is ten dollars per hour artd too low to amact new recruit officers. Secondly, the Police Trainee class specification does not adequately describe the current duties of the Police Trainee position. The Chief of Police identified significant qualifications, duties and responsibilities for revision of the trainee classification to allow the police department to amact and expand the applicant pool to fill Police Officer positions. The Chief of Police is starting a new program unique in the State of Minnesota in that the City of Saint Paul will wark in conjunction with Metropolitan State University to provide Peace Officer Licensing for City of Saint Paul Police Officers.
