Request to Cancel Open-Competitive Police Sergeant Examination - Mayor
The Commission reviewed a request from Mayor Cohen to cancel the open-competitive Police
Sergeant examination scheduled for June 22, 2002. The Human Resources Department
received information from the New York State Civil Service Department indicating that all
of the entry-level requirements for a police officer, including the age limit, would apply to all
candidates for an open-competitive police sergeant examination. As a result, all candidates
aged 35 or older would be ineligible to participate in the examination. Because the Mayor did
not intend to exclude any current IPD officers from participating in the exam, the Mayor is
requesting that the open-competitive exam be cancelled. Commissioner Richardson made a
motion to cancel the open-competitive Police Sergeant examination scheduled for June 2002.
Seconded by Commissioner Eastman. Motion carried 2-0.
CONTINUING BUSINESS
Commissioner Richardson made a motion to go into executive session to discuss civil service
examination matters. Seconded by Commissioner Eastman. Motion carried 2-0. During
