Tuition Re-imbursement from Spring of 1976 (Required procedural law couse-reimbursement given to officers not covered by LEEP. $120.00 i Costs for training schools shown above are low because of supplemental State and Federal funding applied for and re- ceived. This is also true of Educational Tuition costs which during Academic year 76-77 have been totally covered by Federal monies. Anticipated decreases in these supplemental funds resulted in increased budgetory request in this category for ?7-78 fiscal year. ~r <~ 4 ~~ r-ate F w.~ TRANSPORTATION/TRAINING EXPENDITURE JUSTIFICATIONS Continued Administrative and Legislative support for support of advanced officer training received at schools outside local area is justified for the following reasons: 1. Training opportunities, as well as local educational oppor- tunities, made available to the officers have resulted in greatly reduced turnover as officers realized they could continue career development and advancement with KPD. This ~ has resulted in considerable cost savings to the City. 2, fRith retention of qualified officers, and advancement of their expertise through training, the citizens of Kenai have benefited measurably in areas of crime suppression, crime ' resolution, and general service provided. The overall ef- fect has been that the professional image of the department has been enhanced and has contributed to officer retention. 3. To date forty-one man days of specialized training have been received outside the local area (with exception of one 10 week school, for which the officer signed a 2 year continued employment contract). Through reduced turnover in the last two years this is a drastic reduction from the 4-8 man months ~ expended annually from 1972 through 1974 in sending officers to basic police academies. These forty-one days were not all chargeable to the available man- hours of the department. A high proportion was on officers days off, for which no additional compensation was paid, or time off given. :~
