Summary
Prescott approved a Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Agreement to sponsor candidate Zoe Nawrot through basic training in exchange for a 36-month employment commitment. Chief Eric Michaels said the city previously sponsored two officers who completed the program.
Police Chief Eric Michaels summarized the city's Law Enforcement Reimbursement Agreement program, which sponsors candidates through basic training at the city's expense; in return the candidate agrees to a 36-month employment commitment. If the candidate leaves before fulfilling that term, the candidate must reimburse the city for training and related employment expenses.
Chief Michaels said the department has had success with the program, citing two previously sponsored officers who completed their commitments and remain employed by the city. The council voted to approve the agreement for candidate Zoe Nawrot. Alderperson Sorenson asked whether Nawrot is from the area and if the agreement was included with the online application; Chief Michaels said she is not local and the agreement was not included in the online application. The motion passed without a negative voice vote.
