83-F - Procedures.

§ 83-f. Procedures. a. In  making  recommendations for the appropriate  rank  to  which  present  police  officers  will  be  assigned  to   the  consolidated  department, consideration will be given to the examination  from which the present incumbents received their permanent civil service  status, the length of time served in their present  position  and  other  related factors which will be established and promulgated by the board.    b. Where  there may not be sufficient vacancies in the organization of  the consolidated police department for all persons  to  be  assigned  to  their  rank  as  determined  by  the board, the board will determine the  persons to  be  selected  for  existing  vacancies  in  accordance  with  criteria  established  by the board.   Those persons not selected to the  rank to which their previous position has been declared equivalent  will  be placed on a preferred list for that specific rank.  Such persons will  have  priority  in  appointment  for the next lower rank position in the  organization.   Such appointment will not affect  their  status  on  the  preferred list in the higher rank when subsequent vacancies develop.
