Summary

An examinee for the Police deputy assistant chief promotional exam asked to participate remotely from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia; the commission approved the request by motion and voice vote to allow the examinee to rebut exam appeals.

The Civil Service Commission approved a request that allowed an examinee to participate virtually in order to present rebuttal during an appeal. The examinee, who identified himself as Captain Chris Trustee, told the commission he was attending out-of-state training at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia and asked to be allowed to speak remotely.

Staff advised the commission to hear the examinee's request and commenters noted this would be handled as an exception given the appeal. Commissioners moved and approved the request by voice vote so Captain Trustee could present his remarks when the specific exam item was considered. Captain Trustee said, "I have been out of state training at the FBI national academy... in Quantico, Virginia," as the reason for the request.

The commission then proceeded with the appeals and other agenda items.
