Qualifications and Facilities of Grantee The existence of a city•personnel department does not diminish the need for an active police oriented recruitment program as conditions of service and personnel traits required for police officers differ from other city departments. Thus, a positive recruitment effort, - based on sound police experience, is needed to attract qualified applicants. The Corpus Christi Police Division, with full coopera- tion of the City Personnel Department and the Public Information Division, desires to make the best possible effort to attract more minority police officers with a sound, effective recruiting program. Because personnel selected to participate in the program are currently employed by the Police Division, salaries, office space, and other ex- penses incidental to their employment will be absorbed by the City. The Project Director, formerly the Director of the Police Academy, will provide valuable experience and perspective in recruitment and selection techniques. As Director of the Academy, he was a member of the oral interview board which is responsible for one phase of selection of qualified applicants for police employment. The Police Division, in cooperation with Texas A 6 M University, is currently involved in an ex- tensive survey to determine job descriptions for all levels and assign - ments within the Police Division, and it is forseen that this will pro- vide valuable information for use in recruitment. 5 -g 2.

In the Corpus Christi Police Division, as well as in the majority of other police departments throughout the United States, minority police officers are under — represented in comparison to the population pattern of the com- munity. The Police Division desires to increase fhe number of minority police officers through a positive, active recruitment program. The objec- tive of recruitment is to employ a total of forty minority officers by )--he end of the extended project year, August 1975. An effort will be made to attract the•minority college student with recruitment efforts in a number of colleges and universities located in high minority areas over the state and offering law enforcement programs. A 16 mm color and sound recruitment film and a 35 mm solo- sound on slide presentation, with emphasis on minority recruitment, will be produced by the City of Corpus Christi Public Information Division. One sergeant will be assigned 25% time to the project and four police officers will be utilized in selected recruitment activities.

Co ition Sheet P? a DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. GOALS 1. Nature of Problems The Corpus Christi Police pivision, as well as the majority of other police departments throughout the United States, has a problem in the recruitment of minority police officers. Both the National Crime Commission and the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders urged police departments located in areas of substantial minority population to vigorously recruit minority group police officers in order to gain the general confidence and acceptance of a community. Because contacts with the police represent the most common encounters with the criminal justice system for the average citizen, a police department should be representative of the community as a whole. Employees must re- flect the population pattern of the area. Failure to employ an adequate and significant number of minority group members creates serious problems in law enforcement, including problems in police- community relations. The City of Corpus Christi, included within the Corpus Christi Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, has a current population of 213,648. Of this figure, the 1970 census reflects a 40.6% Spanish Language or Spanish Surname population and a 5.1% Black population. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area,including Nueces and San Patricio Counties, reflects a somewhat higher per- centage of Spanish Lnnguagve or Spanish Surname population of 44.5 %. 0 Pa- ° -b The Black population for the SMSA is reduced slightly to 4.12 of the total population. The Corpus Christi Police Division currently employs 285 Com- missioned Law Enforcement Officers. Of these, 191 or 67.01% of the force are Anglo, 85 or 29.83% of the force are Spanish Surname, and 9 or 3.162 of the force are Black. These figures indicate that our department is not representative of the popu- lation pattern of the community which it serves, in that minority races are not adequately represented. These low minority representation percentages hold true in the number of applications for police officer-employment. Since December 1969, a total of 1,091 applicants•have.completed initial applications for the position of police officer. Of these, 600 or 55.02% were Anglo, 460 or 42.14% were Spanish Surname, and 31 or 2.84% were Black. Applicants were then required to pass a written examination, medical tests, agility tests, and personal interview as provided for in the Rules and Regulations of the Civil Service Commission in compliance with Article 1269m, Vernon's Annotated Revised Statutes of Texas. Applicants qualifying for employment and placed on eligibility rosters numbered 173, with 128 or 73.982 Anglo, 43 or 24.852 Spanish Surname, and 2 or 1.162 Black. Those actually employed from the rosters, de- pendent on budgeted vacancies existing-during the duration of the eligibility rosters and applicant acceptance of the position, from December. of 1969 to present, totaled 141, with 97 or 68.792 Angle, 41 or 29.08% Spanish Surname, and 3 or 2.132 Black. +h 0 Pag 2, Target Groups These low percentages of minority applicants and employees, in relation to the minority population pattern as documented above, point up a critical need for an affirmative recruitment program which would attract both Mexican - American and Black employees into law enforcement. Special efforts must be made in this area in order to make the police truly a "citizen's police agency" in which con- dition there is an effective cohesive relationship between the agency and the entire community which it serves. 3. Goals and Objectives The goal of this project is to implement an affirmative recruitment tionate number of-Mexican program in order to increase the propor American and Black police offi.cers'withi.n the Corpus Christi Police Division. Active minority recruitment and minority employment can be of vital value, both externally and internally,for the police agency, and the presence of more minority officers will improve police and citizen relations. Fear and distrust which many minority groups feel toward law enforcement agencies can be significantly dis- pelled by increasing the number of minority law enforcement officers. "The objective of recruitment effort is to increase the number of This minority police officers by approximately 32% by August of 1975. = will necessitate the hiring of 34 Mexican- American officers and G Black officers in order to maintain or exceed the proper minority representation in the Police Division, as reflected in the population of the city. Recruitment effort will require an 'estimated minimum of K9 4. Page of 3,000 man hours spent in actual contact with potential applicants in college campuses and in community organizations and referral settings. B. METHODS 1. It is estimated that a minimum of thirty to forty -five days will be required in preparation for recruitment contacts. During this initial stage, a 22 minute film, with emphasis on recruitment, will be produced by the City of Corpus Christi Public Information Division at cost of materials and processing only. This film will be 16 mm, sound and color and of high quality. Also to be produced by the Public Informa- tion Division will be a 35 mm color, sound on slide presentation,with emphasis toward minority recruitment. Format for multi -color recruit- ment brochures will be finalized and 20,000 brochures will be printed. Contacts with various colleges and community organizations will be made and schedules set -up for on- campus recruitment efforts, organiza- tional programs, and community presentations. Cost of film materials • and processing will be incurred during this period, as well as print- ing costs and other supportive expenses such as telephone calls, postage, travel expense in preparation for actual recruitment. All of the above activities will be under the supervisor of the Project Director and one (1) Police Sergeant- assigned 25% time to the project. During the first 45 days of the project, selection and plans for assignment of additional personnel to assist on a part -time basis in specific recruit- : ment areas will be approved. It is estimated that an additional four officers will be utilized on special assignment basis during rccruitment activities. Also, during this time, staff meetings within the Police q* Pap- and with the City Personnel Division will be held to finalize a written outline of. program activities to ensure maximum effort. It is forseen that direct recruitment contacts will begin by September 15, 1973, in preparation for a Civil Service Examination to be given during November 1973. A minimum of ten universities and college campuses will be visited at least once during the remaining ten months of the project year, in addition to local recruitment efforts on a continuing basis. Each of these colleges and universities offer Law Enforcement and Police Science programs and are recognized by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education. Tentatively, the following campuses have been selected for recruitment effort: a. East Texas State University, Commerce b. Pan American University, Edinburg c. Sam Houston State University, Huntsville d. Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos e. Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches f. Henderson County Jr. College, Athens g.

Thus, a positive, recruitment effort, based on sound police experience, is needed to attract qualified applicants. The Corpus Christi Police Division, with full coopera- tion of the City Personnel Department and the Public Information Division, desires to make the best possible effort to attract more minority police officers with a sound, effective recruiting program. Because personnel selected to participate in the program are currently employed by the Police Division, salaries, office space, and other ex- penses incidental to their employment will be absorbed by the City. The Protect Director, currently the Director of the Police Academy, will provide valuable experience and perspective in recruitment and selection techniques. As Director of the Academy, he is a member of the oral interview board which is responsible for one phase of selection of qualified applicants for police employment. The Police Division, in cooperation with Texas A & 11 University, is currently involved in an ex- tensive survey to determine joN descriptions for all levels and assign- ments within the Police Division, and it is forseen 'that this will pro- vide valuable information for use in recruitment.

With this goal reached, minority representation in the Corpus Christi Police Division will exceed mini- mum standards for being representative of the community which it serves. -L•9 •� Pa, -i 2. Significance The need for competent minority group officers is more than a symbolic one. The characteristics of personnel within a police department have a direct bearing upon police - community relations. The President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice and the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders place major emphasis on the need for specialized minority recruit- ment programs. This project seeks to develop an effective recruit- ment program by seeking out the most qualified minority members from college and university campuses over the State, as well as from the local area. Concurrent with this project;-the U. S. Civil Service .Commission will be conducting a study on the City's present entrance and promotional examination content and methods under authority of the Inter - governmental Personnel Act of 1972, in an effort to upgrade present testing procedures. The study is being made at the request of the Personnel Department, and data gathered by the recruitment project staff will be utilized in this study. 3. Dissemination Detailed records will be kept on number of potential applications con- tacted, number receiving applications, number tested, number qualifying, and number employed for use in evaluation of the total project.

A high potential contribution to the professionalizin , of police operations is believed to ; be possible from this prototype program s concept, content and methodology. This article Will dscr:bc i only the highlights of the program and its evaluation by this writer. The planning and design of this program were en- trusted to James F.

Layton of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police has sumnhari7ed the benefits which he believes his of7iccrs derived from the first two courses as follows: Parucip.,rim had an opportunity to compare their own caper;ences a% supen•I%0T, and mnnngcr, with the experience, of others and with formal principles of managcincra. Participants gained an awareness and an apprecia- tion of current thinking on the functions of manage- ment. Participants had an opportunity to understand their own roles and their own responsibilities as a part of a total management team c;Tort. Participant, were given it netter understanding of the decision- mskinc process and the fundamentals of im. proving decisions. Chief Lavion further stated that "The most sig- nificant byproduct of the program was the oppor- tunity for the officers to develop personal inter- changes among themselves; they had the opportunity to sit together and to objectively discuss mutual problems In an environment where there was neither pressure of business nor parochial interest to influ- ence discussions and decisions." A questionnaire, administered to about Half of the parti :iparts, asked for responses to six ques- tions. Thz evaluation's purpose, it was explained, was not to criticize or praise: rather, it attempted to determisc:dh.: :her there had in fact been an achieve - Mem of titz objectives of the program.

Some re- spondents mentioned that more use of case studies in a police setting might be indicated. All agreed that the principles of scientific management applied to police procedures equally as well as to operations of business, industry and government. The consider- able amount of police "know -how" evidenced by the directors and faculty was appreciated by many. 5, you have been introduced :o new concepts in management and the literati :re of manaceinen! through the book reports. llas this been valuable? A number of respondents were outspoken in graise of the book report procedure which was to e an analysis of the books read in terms of their usefulness to law enforcement administrators. The members liked the reports and gained from pre- paring their own reports in a competitive setting with their classmates, each trying to do a creditable review. This overview of management litcrztura would perhaps have been impossible for the faculty to provide in any other arrangement. To stimulate reading is a most valuable outcome of any educa- tional program. Many stated they fully intended to read a number of the references about which they had learned through the reviews of their classmates. 6. The seminar has attempted to be a vestibule, an introduction at a fairly sophisticated level to scientific ntanagenient as a business specialization. Has it been successful in this goal? No pretension was made by the directors or faculty to the effect that anything more than art introduction to scientific management was intended in the brief time allotted for the seminar. The con- cepts were novel to most participants; the value cf these concepts was recognized. A fresh look wss gained toward solving many cont men iy held prob- lems. Many said they were inspired to :care more of management's "know- how," and that they %vcre convinced of the potential practic:a value o: these concepts. \b'ithout exception responses indicated a coriviciian that this objective hits peen tdhicsed. The uniformly favorable reactions from tihz officials who attended this series of benl,nars inmcate that they have been convinced o, its % ";Uc. and t,.... it need exists for police training in scientific M1ana ;e- mcnt and executive development.
