OCEAN SHORES, Wash. — The Ocean Shores Civil Service Commission on June 25 approved an entry-level police officer eligibility list from testing conducted June 20, 2025, and two eligibility lists for EMT/firefighter candidates from testing June 18–19, 2025.

The lists were presented during a special meeting at the Ocean Shores Fire Department by the commission’s chief examiners and department chiefs. Chief Examiner Christian Jones introduced the police eligibility list; Chief Logan and members of the oral board that evaluated candidates included Councilmember Lisa Scott, Sergeant Denny and Interim Deputy Chief Tony Viera. After discussion, commissioners voted to approve the 06/20/2025 entry-level police officer eligibility list.

Chief Logan said testing included two separate exams and that "the average of their scores, they have passed, to be eligible to be on our hiring list." For the EMT/firefighter lists, Chief Examiner Kristen Jones and Chief Ritter presented results from June 18–19 testing for lateral and entry-level EMT/firefighter candidates. Chief Ritter told the commission he was "extremely impressed with the feedback that I got from the evaluators, and I'm extremely impressed with the candidates that we have applying for our organization. So we're we're headed in a really great direction." The commission approved the 06/19/2025 entry-level EMT eligibility list and the 06/19/2025 lateral EMT eligibility list.

Commissioners recorded no opposing votes during the motions as called; each motion was approved after the commission asked for those in favor. During discussion of the lateral list, presenters noted there were two candidates who did not pass the evaluation process.

The approvals certify candidate eligibility for hiring processes but do not itself appoint or hire any candidate. The meeting record does not specify subsequent steps or timelines for extending conditional offers, background checks, or certification by hiring departments.
