The City Manages commented on the concept of public safety and how it is
handled in other cities. He introduced Ibbert Dennett, Director of Public
Safety and Jerry Bick, Fire Services Comnander of lbhnert Park. They `Mould
explain to Ccunoil how their public safety department works and answer any
questions Council may have.
Mr. Dennett gave a brief overview of their public safety department which
Rchnert Park has bad for approximately 17 years. The department had a full-
time staff of 43 people and approximately 20 volunteers. (Potnert Park has
a population of about 25,000.) He noted that recruitment was not a problem;
the diversification of fire/police appealed to many. Fludammental training
sessions were required for volunteers and the 'buddy system' was Toyed in
that a rookie was assigned to a veteran firefighter. The city contracted out
with an ambulance service. Mr. Dennett emphasized the basic premise of public
safety - one can cross train people effectively.
In response to several questions frcrn Council, Mr. Dennett and Mr. Bick

ment needed. They further noted that there were continual training sessions
