COMMISSION
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Conducted 21 oral interviews for entry-level Police candidates; 10 candidates passed
the oral interview process. We have made conditional offers to the top 5 candidates
who are continuing through the testing process. Chief Kelly stated this is the last group
of our initial entry-level list and many are not passing the background investigation.
Chief Kelly stated that we are working on a process to pre-screen candidates during the
initial application phase to help identify the top candidates prior to conducting
background investigations. We will be working on the process details in the next few
months.
Cyril Van Selus asked what happened to the two candidates who appealed to the
Commission; Dick Kammeyer stated they did not pursue their appeal any further.
We have 5 lateral police candidates, 1 is moving forward with the testing process and
expected to complete all testing next week. Chief Kelly stated we have 1 opening;
Officer Jeff Carroll resigned last week and has been hired by the City of Lakewood.
Sergeant, Commander, and Assistant Chief lists are all approaching the re-testing
dates (all expire in August). We will start the process for replacing the eligibility lists this
month. Chief Kelly estimates approximately 20 candidates for the Sergeants test.
