Ubaldi append the motion for the location of the written examination at St. Clarence Church and the location for the Oral Assessment will be at North Olmsted Police Department. Address Details for Police Sergeant Promotional Test The Promotional Police Sergeant's written examination will be on Saturday, May 22, 2010, at 10:00 AM and the Oral Assessment will be on Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 9:00 AM, Passing score for the written examination will be set at 70%; extra credit/seniority is in accordance with Rule III, Section 7 and tie score is pursuant to Rule IV, Section 3. In 2007 the weight was 75% for the written and 25% for the oral. Police Chief Wozniak previously noted that the book smarts of the Sergeants and Lieutenant's was more important at that level. As you raise up the ranks the character or leadership skills becomes more important and suggested when you have a higher rank you give more weight to the assessment. A suggestion was made to give the written a weight of 60% and the oral assessment 40% because it is lower in rank but it is a little more common rather than having a.larger percentage spread. Candidates for the oral assessment may not exceed six (6). The Commission does have a means of drawing that line should there be a tie score and is believed that the Commission is borrowing from entry -level's tie scores time of test completed. This issue was cleared when the Commission held the last promotional safety force examination. The posting should be posted 30 days prior to the testing and that there should be a meeting between the Safety Director, Human Resour-ees-Direetot -and-Po4i"-C–lti,ef-to-discuss-thy; references anebtiieJob-analysis-Ms Ramsey met with Safety Director Thomas and the new Safety Director Ritenauer this afternoon and with Human Resources Director Farver earlier this evening.
