Mr. .L.D. Pollock,

- City of Port Coquitlan,
2272 McAllister Street,

Port Coquitlam, B.C.

Dear Sir:

This is in reply to your request for further particulars on
the R.C.M.P.'s request for additional civilian staff. I have
discussed this matter with Inspector Young and he concurs
with the following. a , ;

The request is for: additional permanent Dispatcher/Clerks.

; additional Clerk 1 in the Records Office.
additional Clerk-~Steno 2 in the Traffic
Office. _

additional Clerk-Steno 2 in the General
Office.

Clerk-Steno 2 in the OIC's office.
additional Telephone Operator-Typist for
Relief purposes.

Dispatcher/Clerks

At present we have six permanent Dispatcher/Clerks who cover our
radio operation on the basis of two persons on poth day and
afternoon shifts Monday to Friday. We have two part-time casual
employees who work with a permanent Dispatcher/Clerk to cover
poth day and afternoon shifts on Saturday and Sunday. On the
midnight to 8:00 A.M. shifts the Dispatcher/Clerks are relieve
by an R.C.M.P. member taken off the street.

The two additional permanent staff would enable us to place two
permanent Dispatcher/Clerks on all shifts and thus give better
office back~up to our units on the street.

In actual fact the total cost increase is 1.2 persons as we
.could then eliminate the two part-time employees.
