Police Chief Kilcullen asked the Board of Aldermen on Sept. 15 to refer proposed edits to Title 23, Chapter 1 of the city code — the Police Department chapter — to the Charter and Ordinance Committee. Chief Kilcullen said section 401 currently requires applicants to be no more than 45 years old and at least 5 feet 8 inches tall; the department requested the referral so committee members can consider changes to those hiring standards.
Aldermen voted to send the matter to the Charter and Ordinance Committee for review; Chief Kilcullen indicated the referral would allow the city to bring hiring requirements into compliance with current practices and legal standards.
No ordinance change was adopted at the meeting; the matter will be discussed at the committee level and returned to the full board as appropriate.
