Motion passed unanimously. Promotional Police Sergeant Examination There is a valid Police Sergeant Promotional Ranking List with two candidates remaining who will be promoted sometime this year. There is a Lieutenant's vacancy that will be opened in a week and a Sergeant will be promoted to Lieutenant. That will open up a Sergeant's vacancy immediately; then another Sergeant will be retiring March 3rd. After March 3`d, those 2 candidates will be promoted and then the list will be exhausted. With the upcoming Sergeant retirement in July, that leaves a vacant position. The Administration will need to start the promotional testing process; give eligible candidates time to study for the written portion of the examination. Once the candidates take the written test, the results will be sent to the Commission, which will be certified; then the top passing candidates will go on to the assessment. The Commission will need to determine the passing score, weight the written and oral portion, and how many will move on to the oral assessment.
