NEW ALBANY POLICE DEPARTMENT Directive 6.1 - Organization 6.1.1 Chain of Command The New Albany Police Department is organized in a para-military structure. An Organizational Chart (see Addendum A) has been created to reflect the formal lines of authority and communication within the Department. The Department head of the New Albany Police Department is the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police reports directly to the City Manager. Reporting directly to the Chief of Police are three (3) Patrol Sergeants and the Administrative Assistant. The three Patrol Sergeants are responsible for the day-to-day operations of their respectively assigned personnel. Reporting directly to the three Patrol Sergeants are their assigned shift’s fulltime sworn officers, their assigned reserve officer(s), and their assigned civilian personnel. Each Sergeant is responsible for performing annual evaluations on their respective subordinates as assigned. Additionally, the School Resource Officer (SRO) and DARE Officer positions report directly to the assigned first shift Sergeant while the Detective and Canine Officer positions report directly to the assigned second shift Sergeant. Mid-watch positions are assigned to a supervisor by the Chief of Police. Each position within the Police Department has a Job Description that outlines the various requirements and responsibilities for the position. These Job Descriptions are updated as needed and are kept on file in the offices of the Chief of Police and City Personnel Officer. Each employee of the New Albany Police Department is assigned a radio call number. The Chief of Police is assigned C-1, the three Sergeants are assigned Supervisor numbers based on seniority (S-1, S-2, etc.), the Police Clerk is assigned PC-1, full-time sworn officers are assigned Unit numbers based on seniority (U-1, U-2, etc). Reserve officers are assigned numbers based on seniority (R-1, R-2, etc.), and full-time and part-time dispatchers are assigned Dispatch numbers based on seniority (D-1, D-2, etc.). The Organizational Chart of the New Albany Police Department is updated annually and included in the Annual Report. The above-listed radio call numbers may be changed in January of each year based upon the needs of the Department and the changing seniority status during the preceding year. Each employee is under the direct command of only one supervisor at any given time. Members of the Police Department shall not bypass their immediate chain of command unless urgent or immediate circumstances dictate a departure from this policy. Supervisors shall have a reasonable number of employees under their immediate command and control. Except under unusual circumstances, this number shall not exceed eight employees. The Chief of Police is ultimately responsible for the performance of the New Albany Police Department. Employees are delegated the authority to perform the duties of his/her job assignment to assist the Chief in the accomplishment of organizational goals and objectives. An employee is responsible for his/her performance and is responsible for the use or misuse of his/her delegated authority. This performance is measured through the annual performance evaluation process. A supervisor will be held accountable for the performance of the employees under his/her assigned immediate supervision. 2
