Commissioner Knierim also discussed making revisions to the current hiring SOP. He requested that Chief Viles start on that SOP and present it to the Commission in the future. Chief Viles advised the Commission that an officer is currently involved in the hiring process for the IMPD. Commissioner Knierim asked about the remaining candidates on the list.
