The Commission upheld HRD’s decision that the Appellant was ineligible to take the September 2023 readministered Statewide Police Sergeant Promotional Exam because he had not been employed as a Cambridge police officer at least three years prior to November 2022.
Reclassification appeal; GCI I to GCI II; appeal denied; Appellant did not meet minimum entrance requirements and did not perform duties of higher classification a majority of the time.
Having determined that a Peabody Police Sergeant was incorrectly awarded 2 preference points reserved for those with 25 years of service as a police officer, the Commission ordered the eligible list to be corrected and encouraged HRD to review the potential applicability of a related Appeals Court decision.
Promotional bypass appeal denied. The City has shown that the selected candidate's experience provided reasonable justification to bypass the Appellant for the position of Fire Captain.
