Title: A Different Shade of Blue: An .Evaluation of the Civilian Detective Concept and Its Impact on Police Capabilities Summary: Financial distress and shrinking police candidate pools have diminished cities' abilities to protect the public. This thesis examines the manner in which cities have adapted by using civilians to perform the duties of sworn detectives-specifically, whether this practice enhances cities' contributions to public safety. Nine law enforcement organizations across the country that applied this policy were analyzed. It focused on cost implications, impacts on investigative and emergency response capabilities, job qualifications, training standards, scope of duties, and overall efficacy. Similar themes include the ability of cities to reduce costs and to achieve equivalent work output from civilian personnel. Dissimilar themes surrounded the reasons cities adopted the policy and how they trained the personnel. From the analysis, this thesis determined that the use of civilian personnel does enhance cities' contributions to public safety. This thesis also identified a need for a uniform national framework for policy adoption and for state peace officer accrediting commissions to develop guidelines for training and certification.

Author: Maryland. Office of Legislative Audits Title: Department of State Police - Workforce Civilianization. Opportunities Exist to Increase Civilian Employment Summary: Scope In the April 2016 Joint Chairmen's Report, it was noted that certain non-law enforcement positions within the Department of State Police (DSP) are performed by sworn troopers and could be performed instead by lower cost civilian personnel, freeing up trooper positions for law enforcement. The budget committees requested the Office of Legislative Audits (OLA) to study the personnel policies of the Department of State Police (DSP) and make recommendations on how to increase civilianization at DSP. The recommendations were to include classifying each job type as best being performed by sworn personnel, civilian personnel or either; the number of sworn trooper personnel functioning in positions that could be performed by civilian personnel; and an estimate of cost savings to be realized. Finally, the Report requested that the results of our review be submitted to the budget committees by November 1, 2016; however, in September 2016, the Joint Chairmen extended the submission deadline to January 2, 2017. Objectives Our objectives were: 1. to assess any DSP personnel policies related to the use of sworn trooper and civilian positions for performing functions within the various DSP Bureaus and units; 2. to identify non-law enforcement positions, such as administrative and support related, within DSP performed by sworn troopers that could be performed by lower cost civilians; and 3. to determine if DSP periodically conducted a similar civilianization analysis. We did not assess the justification or need for those identified positions and functions presently filled by sworn troopers within the context of DSP's mission.
