About the Organization and Position
The Town operates under a Council/Manager form of government and the Chief of Police reports directly to the Town Manager. Responsibilities include implementing the policies of both the Town Council and the Town of Montreat Police Department. The Town of Montreat is a small community. There is no commercial development in Montreat, not even a traffic light. The typical duties performed by the Police Department are somewhat unique due to the small, primarily residential and other particular characteristics of the Town. The police department is made up of four patrol officers and the police chief – due to the small nature of the department, the chief must be an excellent collaborator and communicator. The department would benefit from the implementation of a career ladder or other opportunities for advancement.
Work also involves a full managerial and supervisory role including the establishment of operations and policy, evaluation and adherence to prescribed standards, and planning for and implementing special law enforcement activities. Work also includes preparing special State, Federal, and local reports, analyzing crime and accident trends; cooperating with other law enforcement agencies, preparing and managing a budget and supervising all department personnel. Work is performed in accordance with departmental policy and State and Federal law. The employee is subject to hazards associated with law enforcement including working in both inside and outside environments, in extreme cold weather, and exposure to various hazards such as proximity to moving mechanical parts and electrical current. The employee is evaluated through observation, discussion and review of reports, and through an appraisal of the general effectiveness of departmental operations.
