RE: CLASSIFICATION STUDY RESULT
We have completed our study of the Chief of Police position held by 3ohn Harrington. We
have reviewed relevant job information, discussed the position with HR Administration, and
compared the position with related classes and positions. Intemal department director
comparisons include the Director of Public Works, General Manager-SPRWS, City Attorney
and Fire Chief classifications. A market analysis was also conducted, comparing the position
to the Chief Enforcement positions in large, metropolitan jurisdictions.
This study indicates that the position performs functions associated with a higher salary
grade than currently assigned. Therefore, the Chief of Police classification should be
assigned to grade 39 of the Non-Represented Employee Crroup salary schedule. Internal QES
analysis indicates the position performs broad management functions with an expert-level of
understanding in a range of administrative roles. This position provides strategic leadership
and management far law enfarcement and community policing in the City of Saint Paul. The
depth of understanding required for aspects of planning and program management, technical
expertise, conununication, and staff management competencies exceed the competency
levels associated with some director posations such as the Parks and Recreafion Director,
Library Director and Director of PED classifications.
In addition, market comparisons were made with the metrapolitan county and city Chief
Enforcement positions. Market evaluation revealed that on average the comparison positions
are compensated higher than the City Chief of Police position. These comparison cities and
counties have populations slightly lower or slightly higher than the City of Saint Paul.
Upgrading the studied position by one salary grade would bring the compensation close to
the comparison positions.
Given the difference in population size, distinctions in policing methodology, and
enforcement needs of each jurisdiction, the proposed new salary rate seems appropriate. The
new compensation level would place the City Chief of Police position just below the
compensation levels for Hennepin County Sheriff, Anoka County Sheriff and Ramsey
County Sheriff positions. Also, this position remains below the Minneapolis Chief of Police.
An Affumative Action Equal Opportunity ADA Employei
Should you choose to reallocate the position, City Council approval of the salary grade
change is required before a Reallocation Certificarion can be sent through the required
Auman Resources process.
