Currently, under Rule 8.08, applicants that fail to obtain a passing score on the oral board interview must wait six months before re-applying with the department. Our request is to adjust the time frame from six months to 90 days, applying this to both entry and lateral candidates. We debrief every candidate that fails an oral board interview, advising them on areas that they were difficient. Our intention is to make them better candidates in their future opportunities. With this knowledge and the benefit of a shorter wait time we hope to benefit from this process with better prepared applicants. Proposed rule change language for your consideration: Rule 8.08 FAILURE TO PASS ENTRANCE EXAMINATION: a. Any candidate who has failed the oral board interview for cadet, entry level, or lateral police officer shall not be entitled to re-submit an application six months 90 days of the date they failed the oral board. b. Any candidate who has been removed from an eligibility list may re-submit an application after one (1) year from removal on the list if he/she would like to be re- considered for the position again. c. Any candidate whose name has expired from the eligibility list may re-submit an application as soon after his/her name has expired from the list. AGENDA ITEM #6. f) Page 27 of 27
