Commission approves reopening police chief promotional process and hiring Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police for assessment
Summary
The Civil Service Commission approved reopening the police chief promotional application process, forming a selection committee and contracting the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police to conduct assessments.
The Stow City Civil Service Commission voted to reopen the application process for the police chief promotional search and authorized hiring the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police to administer the assessment.
A Police Department representative told commissioners the selection committee will include the mayor, the representative, the chief, the law director and the chief of staff. The representative said the process will accept internal and external applicants and that the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police has previously been used and performed well.
Commissioners discussed whether civil service should participate on the committee; the representative and commissioners said the committee structure can be raised with the relevant committee for further consideration. The commission then approved a motion to start the promotional examination process and to retain the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police to conduct the assessment.
The transcript records the motion, a second and unanimous affirmative votes from commissioners present. No costs, contract numbers or exact candidate counts were recorded in the meeting transcript.
