The Council or the Commission, at their discretion, may void
an eligible list at any time, but in no case shall any eligible list
remain in effect for a period of more than two years from the date
of its certification by the Civil Service Commission, except that
the Commission may, at its sole discretion, by a vote of the majority
of the Commission at a duly authorized Commission meeting, extend
the list for up to an additional year.
The Commission may appoint a written examination administrator,
an oral examination administrator, a physical fitness examiner, a
medical examiner and a psychological examiner to conduct the examinations
required by these rules and regulations.
All applicants who meet the basic qualifications, including
passing the physical performance examination, will be admitted to
the written examination after providing proof of identification. The
notification document shall service as the admission card to the examination,
at which the right thumb print of the applicant shall be placed on
the admissions card and the applicant shall sign the card. This procedure
shall be followed at each segment of the examination process.
Pursuant to the Veterans' Preference Act, any applicant for the position of patrol officer who qualifies as a "soldier" under the Act, shall receive an additional 10 points on top of their total score if that applicant had received passing scores under §§
A296-35,
A296-36 and
A296-37. "Soldier" is defined as any individual who has served in the regular military, the National Guard or the Reserves since July 1953, and who has completed his military service commitment and has received (or will receive) an honorable discharge from such service at the time they take the civil service appointment examination. An "honorable discharge" may include a general discharge under honorable circumstances. Applicants claiming veterans' preference must submit satisfactory proof of service and honorable discharge with the application, specifically Form DD-214.
