Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Note: All City of Fort Smith positions require the employee to provide good customer service to both internal and external customers, maintain positive and effective working relationships with other City employees, and have regular and reliable attendance that is non-disruptive. Must show cooperation and respect to fellow employees and supervisors at all times.

  • Maintaining an inventory of uniforms and equipment for the police department.

  • Dealing with vendors and salespersons.

  • Obtaining quotes, submitting purchase requests, and making purchases of needed inventory and other items.

  • Check in all equipment or packages shipped to the department for inventory purposes.

  • Maintain inventory records of departmental assets.

  • Regular attendance and timeliness is required.

  • Assist Fleet Coordinator with the transportation of vehicles to various repair shops, when needed.

  • In addition to all of the regular Quartermaster duties, the Quartermaster must be cross-trained in order to perform all of the duties of the Fleet Coordinator, which need to be done during the absence of the Fleet Coordinator. This would occur on the Fleet Coordinator’s days off, sick time, and vacation.

  • As a part of the cross-training, the Quartermaster must be completely familiar with the operation of all software which is used by the Fleet Coordinator.

  • In the event that the Fleet Coordinator should permanently vacate their position as Fleet Coordinator, it will be the responsibility of the Quartermaster to train a new Fleet Coordinator.

  • Other assignments or duties as needed. 

 

Because the Quartermaster makes many decisions regarding police equipment, prior experience as a law enforcement officer would be helpful in this position, but not required.
