Process Review Committee Update — Promotional Exams (sworn personnel) Anthony Gonzales provided an update from the Process Review Committee. The committee consisted of HR Supervisor Anthony Gonzales, Assistant Chief Lyle Martin, Officer Ramon Chavez and Officer Alex Patino. On December 16, 2015, HR Manager Christi Tenter gave an overview presentation of the promotional examination process including notification of exam results and scoring of oral interview exams. Tenter advised the Commission that a committee was formed and a series of meetings were held. (The committee consisted of HR Manager Christi Tenter, HR Supervisor Anthony Gonzales, Assistant Chief Lyle Martin, Officer Ramon Chavez and former Detective Todd Dickson.) The committee identified administrative opportunities to build transparency and eliminate subjectivity that is perceived by sworn personnel applicants participating in the promotional examinations. POST has a comprehensive guide with recommendations on how oral appraisal exams should be processed which the committee used as a reference point. POST recommends assessing candidates in several key factors or rating dimensions such as communication skills, technical skills, leadership, problem solving, etc. A listing of rating dimensions will be included in the job bulletin so candidates can prepare for the interview process. Interview questions will be developed to assess and score candidates in each rating dimension. For each interview question, Assistant Chief Martin will provide acceptable responses which will assist the raters in evaluating and scoring the candidates. Raters will be instructed and encouraged to provide meaningful comments for each rating dimension. This process will allow the Chief or his designee to provide feedback to the applicants if they request feedback to improve in the next examination process. Applicants completing the oral examination will receive their oral examination score and their overall total cumulative score which is the weighted oral and written score. Page 2 of 4 When an eligible list is certified by the Commission, the range of scores for those placed on the eligible list will be announced to the commission. Officers Ramon Chavez and Alex Patino have reviewed and support the proposed process. Anthony Gonzales stated the rating sheet for each promotional examination will have several different rating dimensions and the raters will be required to score each dimension and provide comments based on the candidates responses. The rater's comments will remain anonymous. After the examination process the candidate can request feedback from the Chief or Assistant Chief for the next process. Assistant Chief Martin added there will be a pool of raters who will receive internal training for the oral panels. Oral raters will be selected based on availability. The Assistant Chief will also meet and brief the oral panel on the day of the oral appraisal interview. Anthony Gonzales added if there are outside raters their training will be part of the briefing since they will generally be from out of town. Request to Open Recruitment for Police Sergeant, Examination #00917 Maria Mojica requested to open recruitment for Police Sergeant. Mojica advised the exam process will remain the same.
