Select Board approves promotion to sergeant, reclassifies police administrative assistant
Summary
Town police promoted an officer to sergeant and the Select Board approved reclassification of a police administrative assistant from grade D to E to reflect expanded duties; the chief described a validated promotional process.
The Select Board on Aug. 5 appointed a police officer to the rank of sergeant after the department presented a completed promotional process. Chief Sartell described a multi-stage selection process that began in March and included a validated written examination and an independent oral board of chiefs from neighboring communities.
"We began this process in March. 4 qualified officers participated in the process," the chief said, outlining written and oral components and an administrative review. Sarah Logan moved to appoint Officer Dylan (transcript variants appear) to the position of sergeant with the effective start date shown on the employee action form; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The board also approved a reclassification of the police department's administrative assistant from grade D to grade E to reflect increased responsibilities, with the chief noting the change can be absorbed within the FY27 budget.
