PHONE 254-6161 VOLUME 12-NUMBER JANUARY 10, 1972 PRICE-DAILY lOc-SUNDAYJJJs. Police promotion tests slated By KEN MILSTEAD The first promotion examinations to be given under Civil Service since it went into effect here for police and fire Nov. 1 will be conducted for the police Ian 17. A total of eight rank hikes are up for grabs. The exams will be given to all men through lieutenant and patrolman rank with 2 year or more service who decire to take the test.

The new positions were created by the death of Capt. John McCabe in November, the allotment in the new city budget for another lieutenant, and the recent resignation of Det. R. W. Smith which left a slot open.

Three senior lieutenants, John Weaver, Richard Holden and Tracy Bush, are eligible for the examination. This will create a opening plus the new position allotted in the budget, meaning two sergeants will be promoted to lieutenant. Two corporals will be promoted to fill the vacancies, and three patrolmen will be stepped up in rank to fill the two corporal openings plus the additional vacancy created by Smith's resignation. A list of men eligible for the tests is being prepared by the city personnel department and is expected to be complete later today. The exams will be given in the new police assembly room on the recently expanded and remodeled second floor of the police and court building.

The test will conducted from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.; lieutenants, 11 a.m. to 12 noon; sergeants, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., and corporals, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Tests for the exams are being prepared by the city personnel office from information supplied by Police Chief Leonard McCarley. The tests will be reviewed by the local Civil Service Commission, which must approve them and will also make arrangements for someone to conduct the examinations. On grading the tests the commission will turn over to McCarley the results for the top three men in each category of competition to determine the men to be promoted. About 70 per cent of a total score is determined by the written test, with about 30 per cent based on the record of past performance. Each man also receives 1 point for each year of service up to a maximum of 10 points.

Although local police and fire are under state Civil Service, testing and promotion are handled on a local level through the Civil Service Commission; Joe Jenkins. Milton Sturman and John Morris. Irving voters went to the polls in August and chose Civil Servic for local fire and police. The election was sparked by petitions collected by fire and policemen, who contended that It would remove politics their jobs and prevent trary actions against the! their supervisors.
