Civil Service Commission requalifies police applicants after PoliceApp error and certifies eligibility lists
Summary
At its April 29 meeting the Civil Service Commission re‑qualified Entry Level Police Officer applicants after a PoliceApp error, rejected three applicants for failing to meet minimum requirements, and certified eligibility lists for police, fire captain and maintenance mechanic positions that expire April 29, 2027.
The Civil Service Commission on April 29 re‑qualified and certified several candidate lists after identifying a system error that had incorrectly rejected applicants for the Entry Level Police Officer position.
Commissioner Larry Phelan moved and Chair Susan Ward seconded a motion to reaccept, requalify and certify the Entry Level Police Officer applicants after a PoliceApp platform error led to erroneous rejections. The commission identified applicants #989349, #1008350 and #989940 as not meeting the minimum requirements and rejected those three; the motion accepted all other applicants as meeting the position’s minimum requirements. The motion carried unanimously.
The commission also re‑certified the Entry Level Police Officer eligibility list promulgated April 29, 2026, with an expiration date of April 29, 2027. In separate, unanimous votes the commission certified eligibility lists for Fire Captain and for Maintenance Mechanic II — General Carpentry; both lists were promulgated April 29, 2026 and expire April 29, 2027.
The actions were procedural votes taken by the commission to restore and certify hiring lists after the administrative error. The minutes record Commissioner Phelan as the mover and Chair Ward as the seconder for the motions; the motions are recorded as carried unanimously. No further details about the PoliceApp error or remediation steps were provided in the meeting record.
