Since the Appellant has also filed a discrimination complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, the Civil Service Commission is dismissing this appeal until MCAD has issued a final decision on the Appellant’s complaint.
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.
