L�EQE M To: Police Department Civil Service Board From: John Weyer, Senior Police Officer Date: August 30, 2022 Subject: Sergeant Promotional Process Waiver Request I submit this memorandum to respectfully request a waiver to the minimum qualifications for the Police Sergeant (#01755) promotional examination process. The Police Sergeant promotional examination requires applicants to possess a P.O.S.T. Advanced Certificate. The Advanced Certificate is awarded to currently employed full-time peace officers of a POST participating agency who possess an Intermediate Certificate, in my case have 12 years of experience, earned 30 college units and 30 training points. I currently have 29.5 college units through American River College and 31.75 training points. I attended a 40 hour Field Training Officer course at Bakersfield College in October of 2021 which would give me 2.5 additional college credits, making me eligible for the Advanced Certificate, however due to an admissions error I was never given the credit for the class. I have been working with Bakersfield College for several months and have submitted necessary paperwork to rectify the error (See attached). I have been contacted by the college and the Admissions Department and they have confirmed that they have received the necessary paperwork and are working to fix the issue. I have 5 years as a Senior Police Officer from August 7, 2017 to current. I was assigned to patrol as a Senior Officer from August 7, 2017 to December fi, 2021 when I transferred to the Training and Logistics Division. During my time in patrol I have worked as a Field Training Officer, Background Investigator and a report writing instructor. It is for the above listed reason that I cannot yet apply for my Advanced Certificate, and I respectfully request this minimum requirement be waived to then allow me to participate in the Police Sergeant promotional examination process. Thank you for your consideration! Respectfully, John Weyer, Senior Police Officer The Bakersfield Police Department partners with our community to protect the dives and property of the people we serve.
