Chester to advertise for police patrol‑officer civil service eligibility list
Summary
Council asked for clarification on Resolution 84, which would authorize advertising to begin the process of establishing an eligibility civil‑service list for patrol officers in the Chester Police Department; staff said the measure starts the formal process to create a hiring list.
Council members sought clarification on Resolution 84 during the City of Chester’s deliberative meeting on Monday, July 21. Resolution 84, as presented on the agenda, would authorize the city to advertise and begin the process of establishing a police civil‑service eligibility list for patrol‑officer hiring.
At the meeting a council member asked for clarity for the community, and a city official explained the resolution “authorizes advertising to begin the process of establishing a police civil‑service, eligibility list.” The official said this is the first step in creating a new list the city would use to hire additional police officers going forward.
The item was listed on the agenda for final passage at the council’s Wednesday meeting; no final action occurred at the deliberative session.
