Promotional Process for Supervisory Ranks. The promotional process for the ranks of Lieutenant and Captain shall consist of two (2) phases in which points are awarded based on the achievement of the individual candidates. The first phase is the Promotional Examination in which a total of 100 points could be achieved. The second phase is the Assessment Center in which a candidate could earn up to 100 total points. Each applicant’s Promotional Examination points and Seniority points will be totaled to determine the thirty (30) highest scoring candidates who will appear before the Lieutenant’s Assessment center and the twenty (20) highest scoring candidates who will appear before the Captain’s Assessment Center. Seniority points are calculated based upon ½ point for every completed, continuous year of service with the department, beginning with the candidate’s last date of hire with the department. A candidate for either Assessment Center will not be allowed to participate in the Assessment Center if, on the date of the beginning of the Assessment Center, that candidate is on disciplinary probation or disciplinary suspension. In the event of a tie for the 30th position on the Lieutenant’s test and 20th position on the Captain’s test, placement at the 30th position for Lieutenant and 20th position for Captain shall be determined by (1) date of position or rank, (2) date of employment, (3) recruit school class standing. Should any of the candidates for either Assessment Center become ineligible to participate in the Assessment Center, their position will be filled by the next highest scoring candidate, up until two weeks of the scheduled start of an assessment center. Vacancies occurring within two weeks of the scheduled start of an assessment center will not be filled. The points achieved in the Promotional Examination will be combined with the points achieved on the Assessment Center, to obtain the rankings for the final Lieutenant’s Eligibility List of thirty (30) and the final Captain’s Eligibility List of twenty (20). The promotional examination and seniority points will count 1/3 and the assessment center will count 2/3 toward the final composite score.
