40 Policy Objectives 41 The Roseville Police Department (RPD) is committed to attracting and hiring highly qualified candidates 42 who embody the values and aspirations of our community. Participation in the Intensive Comprehensive 43 Peace Officer Education and Training (ICPOET) program directly supports this commitment by enabling 44 RPD to recruit and develop candidates who align with the city’s mission to provide ethical, efficient, and 45 responsive local government. 46 47 This program helps ensure that RPD can identify and sponsor diverse and well-qualified individuals, 48 equipping them to meet the city’s strategic priorities while fostering trust and safety within the 49 community. With the support of grants like ICPOET, RPD is better positioned to build a workforce that 50 reflects the community it serves and fulfills its critical public safety mission. 51 52 Equity Impact Summary 53 The ICPOET grant funding significantly reduces financial and structural barriers that often prevent 54 individuals from transitioning into a law enforcement career. Without this funding, candidates face 55 considerable challenges, such as the financial burden of returning to school full-time to meet state 56 licensing requirements. These barriers disproportionately impact individuals from underrepresented and 57 economically disadvantaged backgrounds, limiting the pool of qualified candidates. 58 59 By leveraging the ICPOET grant, the Roseville Police Department (RPD) is better equipped to attract 60 and support a diverse and highly qualified workforce. This program enhances equitable access to law 61 enforcement careers and strengthens the department’s ability to reflect the community it serves while 62 advancing its mission of ethical and responsive public safety services. 63 64 Budget Implications 65 The financial obligation and risk to the City of Roseville are minimal, as the grant reimburses up to 66$50,000 per candidate and does not require any agency match. The City will initially cover the costs 67 associated with three ICPOET cadets participating in the eight-month intensive comprehensive law 68 enforcement training curriculum. During their training, candidates will receive a salary funded by the 69 grant. 70 71 Upon completion of the grant contract, reimbursement for all eligible grant activities will be 72 requested. Once received, the grant funds will reimburse internal accounts and other sources. 73 74 Staff Recommendations 75 Staff recommends acceptance of the additional funding through the ICPOET grant. 76 77 Requested Council Action 78 Approve acceptance of additional funding through the State of Minnesota Intensive Comprehensive 79 Peace Officer Education and Training grant (total grant amount of $150,000). 80 81 Erika Scheider, Chief of Police Prepared by: 1.
