Resolution relating to the Electronic Technician 3 eligible list for the Milwaukee Police Department

# What This Resolution Does

This Fire and Police Resolution (FPC212533) approves an eligible list of qualified candidates for Electronic Technician 3 positions at the Milwaukee Police Department. When the city creates a new job category or needs to hire for specific roles, the Common Council must formally approve the list of people who passed the required tests and background checks. This resolution gives official authorization to hire from that approved candidate pool.

# Why It Matters to Milwaukee Residents

Electronic Technicians keep the police department's radio communications systems working—the equipment that allows officers to stay connected and respond to emergencies. By approving qualified candidates for these positions, the city ensures MPD has the skilled workers needed to maintain reliable communications. These are good-paying city jobs (the salary range is $77,204–$95,934 annually depending on experience and residency) that support both public safety operations and local employment.

# What Happens Next

Once this resolution is approved, the Milwaukee Police Department can begin hiring Electronic Technician 3 candidates from the eligible list. The hiring process moves through the Department of Employee Relations, which manages city hiring. Selected candidates will need to pass a medical exam, drug test, background investigation, and other requirements before officially starting work. The resolution is currently in commission, meaning it's being reviewed before a full Common Council vote.
