E1 MEMORANDUM TO: Police Civil Service Commission FROM: Terrie Rameaux, Human Resource Coordinator/Staff Liaison DATE: April 20, 2017 SUBJECT: Consider Approval to De-certify Current Police Officer Eligibility List Introduction/Background Police Chief Schnell is requesting that the Commission de-certify the existing police officer eligibility list. Under Section 10 (d), as amended in December 2013, “an eligibility list will be maintained from the date approved by the Commission until a recommendation from staff to de-certify the list is brought before the Commission for their consideration.” The list was certified on October 28, 2016. Recommendation It is recommended that the Police Civil Service Commission de-certify the existing eligibility list dated October 28, 2016. Attachment 1. Current Police Officer Eligibility List dated October 28, 2016—Commissioners only E2 MEMORANDUM TO: Police Civil Service Commission FROM: Terrie Rameaux, Human Resource Coordinator/Staff Liaison DATE: April 20, 2017 SUBJECT: Consider Approval and Acceptance of Exam Results from Suburban Law Enforcement Police Trainee Process, Establish and Certify Eligibility List Introduction In accordance with the Police Civil Service Rules and Regulations, Section 10(b), Police Chief Paul Schnell is requesting that the Commission review the attached exam results from the Suburban Law Enforcement Police Trainee recruitment process and accept the results, establish and certify the eligibility list. Background The interview process for the Suburban Law Enforcement Police Trainee program has been completed. This unique, non-traditional recruitment process was a joint effort initiated by the cities of Bloomington and St. Louis Park. Maplewood, along with Eagan, Hastings, and the Metropolitan Airport Commission joined later in the process. Maplewood’s participation started by finishing up the last two days of first-round interviews. Then, a Maplewood Police Department panel conducted second round interviews on the top 41 candidates, based on the candidates’ scores from first- round interviews. Based on the average score from Maplewood’s Police Department panel, the top 11 candidates participated in a Chief’s interview with Police Chief Schnell and Commander Shortreed. Due to the urgency of needing to commit to participating in this joint effort, no pre- determined components and weighting were established by the Commission. However, the six entities involved agreed that the list from which they would hire would be based on the last interview they conducted with their selected candidates. For the City of Maplewood, that is the Chief’s interview. Police Chief Schnell has sent background packets out to the top seven candidates at this time. The Chief will provide a status update at the meeting. Attached are the detailed exam results from Maplewood’s second round interviews, the final scores from the Chief’s interviews, as well as the final eligibility list for the Maplewood Suburban Law Enforcement Police Trainee. Recommendation Staff is recommending the Commission 1) approve and accept the exam results for the Suburban Law Enforcement Police Trainee process, and 2) establish and certify the eligibility list.
