On September 26, 2022, Mr. Carrillo was hired as a Police Trainee in the Bakersfield Police Department. Mr. Carrillo resigned from the City of Bakersfield on September 28, 2022 in good standing. Police Chief Greg Terry, has been contacted regarding this request. He recommends placing Mr. Carrillo on a reinstatement list for Police Trainee. Should the Board approve this request, Mr. Carrillo's name will be placed on Police Civil Service reinstatement list for Police Trainee for the City of Bakersfield for a period of one (1) year. The established reinstatement list may be utilized at the hiring manager's discretion for selection of a final candidate per Police Civil Service Rule 12.02 during periods of which vacancies occur. BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM To: Civil Service Commission From: Sergeant Lukious Sims #1125 Date: May 23, 2023 Subject: Waiver Request for Police Lieutenant Promotional (#01928) �� pKERSF1El� .a .�'OL10E.h �v Gj My name is Lukious Sims, and I have been a police officer with the Bakersfield Police Department since August 9, 2010. 1 was promoted to the rank of Police Sergeant September 28, 2020. I am applying for the promotional Police Lieutenant position; however, I do not yet possess my P.O.S.T. Supervisory Certificate. As a result, I am requesting a waiver for that specific qualification. Due to the Pandemic, the Bakersfield Police Department had a large number of sergeants needing to attend the P.O.S.T. Supervisory Course. The Department Created its own P.O.S.T. approved Supervisory Course but would need to present the course twice to satisfy the need. I was not selected to attend the Department's first presentation of the Supervisory Course. I was later assigned to attend a course related to my primary duty as the supervisor over recruitment and retention. At the time I as assigned to attend this course, the dates for the second supervisory course had not yet been determined. When the second Supervisory Course dates were determined based upon availability of the instructors, I discovered the dates conflicted. It was determined that I should participate in the training relevant to my primary duty and that a later Supervisory Course would be available for me to take with our department. Late February of this year I began to inquire about an additional Supervisory Course that our department will be putting on and I was advised that due to P.O.S.T. related issues we would not be presenting the Supervisory Course again until late 2023. 1 then began to attempt to locate the Supervisory Course presented by other agencies. I discovered that there was still a great need for this course as every presenting agency had a wait list. The earliest Supervisory Course I could sign up for was July 2023. The Department approved and funded my attendance of this course, which will be presented July 10, 2023. BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM Regarding the additional minimum qualifications, I have a Master's Degree in Public Policy and Administration; I completed the Police Sergeant Probation period in September of 2021, and I possess a valid California driver's license. Since promoting to sergeant, I have held multiple primary and collateral supervisory positions. I have received multiple performance evaluations where I have either met or exceeded expectations for these positions. Based on the information provided, I hope and pray this waiver is granted so that I can continue with the promotional process. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully, Lukious R.
