  • Has the power to prescribe, amend, and enforce rules and regulations governing police and fire appointments and promotions.

  • Oversees merit examinations for promotions to higher rank within the departments, and holds appeal hearings on disciplinary actions when appropriate.

The Civil Service Commission meets whenever a new list of candidates is requested, when promotions are planned in the police department, or when otherwise required.
