圣路易斯警务委员会审议带薪预备警员计划：通过全部招聘筛选者可先领56,732美元年薪等候警校开班，最长四个月
圣路易斯是密苏里州的独立市。据圣路易斯大都会警察局公布，圣路易斯警务委员会定于10月21日周三审议设立「警察预备学员」（Police Pre-Recruit）岗位，帮助该局在下一期警察学院开班前留住合格候选人。
按该提案，已通过全部招聘筛选的候选人可自愿参加该计划、最长约四个月，期间按警察学员既定年薪56,732美元的标准按比例领取薪资与相应福利。预备学员将参加有监督的体能训练、部门介绍、职业发展课程，并轮转到局内各部门；其工作仅限于未完成警校训练、未取得执法资格者可从事的职责。
警务委员会主席 Chris Saracino 说：「我们不能仅仅因为候选人在等下一期警校开班，就眼睁睁失去已准备好为圣路易斯服务的合格人才。」警察局长 Robert J. Tracy 表示，该计划能让未来的警员提前进入状态、在体能与职业上做好准备，并提前认识他们将服务的同僚与使命，是对他们成功与社区长期安全的投资。
St. Louis Police Board to Consider a Paid Pre-Recruit Program on October 21: Candidates Who Cleared Hiring Could Earn the $56,732 Recruit Salary While Awaiting the Academy, for Up to Four Months
St. Louis, Missouri, an independent city — The St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners will consider establishing a Police Pre-Recruit position on Wednesday, October 21, to help the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department hire and retain qualified candidates before their next Police Academy class begins, the department announced.
Under the proposal, candidates who have successfully completed all required hiring screenings could voluntarily participate for an anticipated maximum of four months, receiving the established Police Recruit salary of $56,732 annually, prorated for their time in the position, along with applicable recruit benefits. Participants would complete supervised physical conditioning, departmental orientation, professional development and rotations through department divisions, with assignments limited to duties appropriate for individuals who have not completed academy training or obtained law enforcement certification.
"We cannot afford to lose qualified people who are ready to serve St. Louis simply because they are waiting for the next academy class," said Board President Chris Saracino. Chief Robert J. Tracy said the program would allow the department to keep future officers engaged, help them prepare physically and professionally, and introduce them to the people and mission they will serve, calling it an investment in their success and the long-term safety of the city's neighborhoods.
