The Administrative Assistant (AA) will provide assistance in scheduling and organizing meetings and conferences for the department front office staff. Attendance at these meetings is welcome but there is no requirement to participate or record minutes, etc. The AA will schedule meetings on a daily basis.

There are established SOPs for things to do when officers arrive/depart - the AA will not have to create these. The AA will submit requests using the sponsor access tracking system as well as other sponsor access requests. The AA will set up sponsor video meetings with internal and external stakeholders and troubleshoot connectivity issues and understand the process coordinating with VOC to create bridges when necessary. The AA II will ensure timely compliance of time and attendance records of all officers in the department utilizing a working knowledge of leave regulations and payroll policies ..
