RESOLUTION NO. 2016-027
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING POLICE PERSONNEL TO TRAVEL FOR
MORE THAN ONE NIGHT, OUT-OF-STATE, TO CONDUCT
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AS PART OF THE OFFICER
RECRUITING AND HIRING PROCESS
Exhibit I
WHEREAS, a highly competitive hiring market makes recruiting qualified police officer
candidates within the state increasingly difficult, so that the Police Department has expanded its
search for good quality police officer candidates outside the state of California; and
WHEREAS, the thorough background investigation necessary to screen candidates,
necessitates that police personnel travel to the candidate's home state, which, because of
distance and travel time often requires a stay of more than one night; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to save the department time and expense associated with going
to Council multiple times, the department is requesting Council permission to travel out of state,
as needed, for recruitment purposes, through the end of Fiscal Year 2015-16.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California,
as follows that:
1. The above recitations are true and correct.
2. That out-of-state travel is hereby authorized, as needed, in accordance with city policy
for the purposes of recruitment.
3. The cost of travel out of state, to conduct background investigations, is included in
the Police Department's budget every fiscal year.
