Brentwood Board approves reclassification of detective positions in Police Department
Summary
Following a pay study, the Board approved reclassifications in the Police Department's Detective Bureau to upgrade positions; the police chief said the moves reflect upgraded pay grades and requested formal retitling and staffing authority, which the board approved by voice vote.
The Brentwood Board of Aldermen approved reclassifying positions in the Police Department's Detective Bureau at the Nov. 4 meeting. City police leadership told the board the changes follow a pay study that recommended upgrading detective positions; the requested retitling would convert certain roles (for example, a retail officer title to retail detective and the school resource officer to a juvenile detective title) to reflect the updated pay grade and staffing plan.
The police chief described the requested changes and noted the item had already been considered by the Ways & Means Committee and the Public Safety Committee. "This is a document that's in board docs. It's been to ways and means and also, to the public safety committee meeting," the chief said, adding the committees had already reviewed the proposal.
The board moved to approve the reclassifications, a motion was seconded, and the chair announced the motion carried (voice vote). The transcript does not include a roll-call tally for this item or the exact motion text but records the board's approval during new business.
The action was described as administrative implementation of the pay-study recommendations; the board did not record further details about hiring, additional compensation amounts, or effective dates in the public session.
