Jacob Dinsmore is currently employed as a police officer for the City of San Luis Obispo. His tenure with Bakersfield Police Department began July 2006 and his official resignation was April 10, 2013. He lateralled over to San Luis Obispo Police Department and is in good standing there. While with BPD, he worked in Operations as a patrol officer and as a Special Enforcement Unit officer; he was also a member of SWAT.

On behalf of Greg Terry, Evan Demestihas advised Police Captain Eligibility List, Examination #00953 has five candidates, four of which are acting in a capacity or actually promoted to Captain; Joe Mullins and Jeremy Grimes were promoted to Captain; Jason Matson and Mike Hale are currently appointed to Acting Captain. The Acting Captain positions are due to having two captains on the books that have been and will continue to be off for an extended period of time due to injuries while on duty. He said there are no other eligible candidates. He said retesting would create disruption since there are currently two acting in the position and fiscally, it would save money not to have to retest. It is requested the Police Captain Eligibility List be extended with the hope there will be resolution to the situation by the end of this year. Evan Demestihas also advised the commission the two Acting Captains will remain acting until there is an actual vacancy. If the two Captains who are injured and off duty now elect to retire, it will create vacancies allowing for promotion of the current Acting Captains only if the current list is still active. If the current list is not extended, there would have to be a new testing process for Captain and the current Acting Captains would have to retest. Anthony Gonzales advised the commissioners in accordance to Civil Service Rules and Regulations, the eligibility list can only be extended prior to the expiration date. The eligibility list for Police Captain expires on February 8, 2018. It is requested the list be extended for 6 months, until August 8, 2018. Mr. Anderson asked if there is a limit on how many times a list can be extended; Anthony Gonzales advised there is nothing in the Civil Service Rules and Regulations limiting how many times the list can be extended. Mr. Lucas made a motion to approve the request to extend Police Captain Eligibility List, Examination #00953 from February 8, 2018 to August 8, 2018; the motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried unanimously. Approval to Extend Acting Captain position for Jason Matson (G. Terry. P.D.) On behalf of Greg Terry, Evan Demestihas advised the Commission the Chief of Police has the power to appoint someone to an acting position for up to 6 months but Civil Service Commission must approve an extension beyond 6 months. Effective February 8, 2018, Jason Matson will be past 6 months. It is requested that his acting position be extended an additional 6 months. It is requested the appointment date for Jason Matson be changed to August 7, 2017, in the memo included in the agenda packet. Mr. Lucas made a motion for approval to extend the Acting Captain position for Jason Matson until August 8, 2018; the motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried unanimously. V.
