SECTION 1 OF THE CANTON MUNICIPAL CODE ALLOWING THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT 4 POLICE LIEUTENANTS
WHEREAS, the Legal and Ordinance Committee has determined that it is
necessary and in the best interest of the City of Canton to amend Title 6, Chapter 1,
Section 1 of the Canton Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, the Canton City Council has made a similar determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

executive department of the city government which shall be known as the police
department, and which consist of one police chief, one deputy chief, four (4)
police lieutenants, four (4) police sergeants, and fifteen (14) patrolmen, up to
seven (7) telecommunicators, one noncommissioned code enforcement officer,
one executive secretary, and one department secretary. When any officer of the
police department, who occupies the position of Lieutenant, Sergeant, or
Patrolman, becomes inactive such that it appears that a full time appointment will
be necessary so as to fill an ongoing vacancy and/or an anticipated requirement,
then the police and fire commission may, at its discretion, appoint an officer in a
full time capacity to fill such vacancy. The Deputy Chief, telecommunicators,
executive secretary, department secretary and the noncommissioned code
enforcement officer based upon the recommendation of the Police Chief shall be
appointed by the Mayor with approval of the City Council. Part time
noncommissioned personnel may be used on an "as needed" basis to work as
radio operators, but only to the extent that full time commissioned officers are
inadequate to meet such needs.
2. That this Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon its passage by the
City Council of the City of Canton, Fulton County, Illinois, and approval by the
Mayor thereof.
