Memorandum
DATE: November 7, 2022
TO: Civil Service Commission
FROM: Jarod Kasner, Assistant Chief of Police
RE: Request for promotional test, Rule 9.01 (a) - Sergeant
I am requesting authorization to conduct a promotional test for Police Sergeant
through Public Safety Testing, tentatively scheduled for December 2022.
Examination will consist of multiple components. The first will be a written
examination which will account for 20% of the overall testing score. A minimum
score of 70% is required to pass. The top twelve (12). including ties, from the
passing score of the written exam will move on to the final two components.
The second component will be a WPR which will account for 50% of the overall
testing score. There will be no minimum core percentage to pass the second
component.
The final component will include an assessment center of four exercises. Candidates
will be evaluated in the following dimensions that will be equally weighted: oral
communications, interpersonal insight, problem analysis, judgment, decisivenessf
planning & organization, and delegation & control. The combined scores from the
four assessment center exercises require a minimum score of 60% to pass the final
component. This final component will account for 30% of the overall testing score.
Respectfully,
Assistant Chief Jarod Kasner
