BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM To: Chief Greg Terry From: Lieutenant J.M. Galland Date: 6/27/23 Subject: waiver Request for the Police Captain testing process I am submitting this memorandum for the purpose of being considered for a waiver to allow me to test for Police Captain. At present I have been a Police Lieutenant for 32 months (11 months as an acting Lieutenant and 21 months as a Lieutenant). I have Completed P.O.S.T. management School. During the time I was an acting Lieutenant, I acted with the full authority of a BPD Lieutenant, with all the responsibilities associated with the rank. P.O.S.T. does not recognize acting time when calculating the two years required to apply for the P.O.S.T. Management Certificate, so I am not yet allowed to apply for my Management Certificate. Based on these facts I am requesting a waiver so that I may participate in the testing process for Police Captain. Respectfully 7 Lieutenant J.M. Galland
