was his understanding that our present entrance examination for police applicants
will be used and that if the candidate made a score sufficient to admit him to
the oral examination, but less than the regular passing score, he would,
subject to his meeting all other requirements, start his one year probationary
appointment and, at, the end of such probationary period, he would agaLn take
the present written test. If he passed, he would be eligible for permanent
appointment and if he failed the test, his employment would be terminated.
Mr. Young said this was not his understanding and he felt sure it was not the
understanding of the other members of the study committee. He said his under-
standing was that the present test would be discontinued and a new verbal and
numeric,al reasoning test substituted. Deficiencies would be pointed out to the
candidate, who made a score sufficient,to admit him to the oral examination
but'less than the normal passing point and thus give him the opportunity to
study during his probationary period. At the end of such period, he would again
take the same test and, failing to make a passing score, would be terminated.
Mr. Whitehurst said in that case he would have to withdraw his support of the
committee report. Some discussion ensued relative to further meeting of the
committee for clarification purposes but Mr. Whitehurst said he thought the
matter should be tabled and 60 moved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Falzone
and carried. Mr. Whitehurst then submitted a chart for the record which depicted,
graphically, his thinking on the matter.
