This change would better describe the duties and responsibilities of the individual in this newly created position which ,resulted from some recent reorganization. Please see the attached draft of a new organizational chart we are currently working on for where this position is situated. The primary benefit of this change is that it civilianizes the Property & Evidence operation, which does not require a full time employee position and let us reassign the officer that formerly handled it and crime scene processing back to the street in Patrol.
