Kent Police Department October 10, 1989 To: Jan Banister Acting Civil Service Secretary/Chief Examiner From: Captain Jim Miller Subject: Status of Applicant for Current Testing of Lateral Entry, Kent Police Department At the completion of the Oral Board for the current testing process for lateral entry applicants there were four candidates remaining. Based on the scores received in the Oral Board those candidates were ranked as follows: 1. Hoflen, Kent G. 2. Preysz, Miklos P. 3 . Patterson, David 4. Cinkovich, Mark Douglas (Failed Medical) To date each of the candidates have also participated in three additional phases of the testing process, Polygraph test, Psychological test, and a Medical Physical. Each of these three phases are PASS/FAIL. All of the above candidates successfully completed both the Polygraph and Psychological testing. Mark Cinkovich FAILED the Medical Physical portion of the testing. Dr. Paul Tueffers in his report cited two areas for which he disqualified Mr. Cinkovich (1) Nystagmus & (2) Overweight. MR. Cinkovich was advised of the above by Dr. 'Tueffers at the conclusion of his test. I have advised Mr. Cinkovich that based on Dr. Tueffers report his name was being removed from the qualified applicant list. Mr. Cinkovich advised that he has set up an appointment with an Ophthalmologist for 10-11-89. It is his intention at this time to challenge his disqualification. I advised him that to do so he needed to contact you for the purpose of requesting to have his request to appeal placed on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled Civil Service Meeting. He was provided with your name and phone number.
