enjoy social interaction. The volunteers share city resources and keep the lines<br />
of communication open, which enables the agency to be proactive instead of reactive<br />
to problems as they emerge. Through this communication they address<br />
any concerns or problems the citizens may be having at the time and provide<br />
assistance through various programs.<br />
Exit Interview with CEO:<br />
On July 20, 2012, an exit interview was conducted with Chief Pearson and<br />
approximately ten additional members of his staff. Chief Pearson expressed his<br />
appreciation for the team and the manner in which the assessment was completed.<br />
Chief Pearson was informed that all standards were found in compliance and that no<br />
conflicts between the assessment team and his staff had occurred. Chief Pearson was<br />
informed of two very minor corrective actions (See Section G), but that overall, the<br />
assessment was near flawless.<br />
Team Leader Pate advised Chief Pearson that the team would be recommending<br />
to the Commission that the <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Police</strong> department be reaccredited at<br />
the next Commission meeting.<br />

Chapter Summaries (Selected)<br />
Chapter 6 Civilian Volunteer Programs (Assessor Pate)<br />
The Civilian volunteer programs administered by the <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Police</strong><br />
Department reflect the commitment to the community and making it a better<br />
place to live. Almost all of the programs utilized by the department are discussed<br />
in the Exemplary Programs section of this report. While the agency does not use<br />
any sworn auxiliary or part-time members, their cadre of volunteers exceeds the<br />
number of full-time employees. Assessor Pate spoke with Volunteer Robert<br />
Becker who displayed a very loyal and passionate level of service to the agency<br />
and to the city.<br />
Chapter 7 Fiscal Activities (Assessor Pate)<br />
Assessor Pate met with Finance Director Manager Brenda Raver who confirmed<br />
that the police department has consistently met all of their obligations with regard<br />
to fiscal responsibility. She provided additional audit information that confirmed<br />
that they are following their policies. Interviews with employees also confirmed<br />
that all areas where fiscal accountability is needed are being strictly followed.<br />
