Summary of Proceedings

Metropolitan Police Department Super Service Board Meeting - October 22, 2026

The board convened on October 22, 2026, to approve routine items and discuss a personnel matter. The meeting included roll call, approval of prior meeting minutes, approval of the consent agenda, and consideration of a probationary extension for an employee.

Consent Calendar

Approval of Minutes: The minutes from the regular meeting of September 24, 2026, were approved by motion and second, with the motion carrying.
Consent Agenda: The board approved 10 civil service lists: 5 open competitive positions (police recruit, corrections recruit, cadet, forensic lab aid, crime analyst) and 5 promotional positions (accounting specialist for payroll, accounting specialist for accounting section, community outreach coordinator, senior crime scene analyst, corrections captain). Discussion noted that the corrections recruit list historically has low numbers; only one person applied, consistent with past years (e.g., 2 in 2020, 5 in 2023, 1 last year).

Public Comments & Testimony

No members of the public offered comments during either public comment period.

Discussion Items

Probationary Period Extension for Mr. Vanderpool: The board considered a request to extend the probation of an employee promoted on March 8, 2025. His probation ended March 8, 2026, but he received scores of 14/30 and 15/30 (both “does not meet”) in his first two evaluations. He was extended six months (September 8 to December 8, 2026) but continued to struggle despite a performance improvement plan, coaching, and training. He requested and was approved to reduce to his prior role (police dispatcher professional), effective November 7, 2026. The extension was requested to ensure a smooth transition. A board member noted he had no performance issues in his previous role, attributing the problems to a lack of supervisory skills.

Key Outcomes

The board approved the minutes of September 24, 2026.
The board approved the consent agenda, including all 10 civil service lists.
The board granted a second extension of Mr. Vanderpool’s probationary period. All motions carried without dissent.
