fryer=. <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />COPY TO: <br />NORTH OLMSTED POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION <br />Chief George Ruple <br />Entry Level Police Exam <br />Date: October 8, 1998 y N <br />TO: Civil Service Commission <br />The last test given for entry level appointment to the police department required the <br />applicant to have Ohio Peace Officer Training Council Certification as a Police Officer to take the <br />test. This requirement resulted in excessive paperwork for the secretary and confusion as to what <br />constituted certification. This requirement also eliminated many potentially good candidates from <br />taking the test. <br />I feel that Police Certification is a valuable addition for a candidate but should not be a <br />requirement to take the test. I am requesting that the Commission consider removing this <br />requirement as outlined on page 6, section 7, subsection E of the manual. In addition I am <br />requesting that the commission consider giving extra credit for Certification in the amount of 3 <br />points under section 2, page 13 of the manual. <br />George Ruple <br />Chief of Police <br />
