My (2 year) mark of employment with The Bakersfield Police Department will be in April 2024, of this year. My (S year) mark as a Police Officer will also be in April 2024, of this year. The deadline to apply for this position is 3/14/2024, which is one month shy of me meeting the time in service / minimum requirements for the position. The testing for the position will take place on 04/04/24, This memorandum serves as my formal waiver request per Civil Service Rule (5.04). Respectfully, Officer M. Mayorga # 1503 The Bakersfield Police Department partners with our community to protect the lives and property of the people we serve. Compassion Accountability Professionalism $AX JA`` f BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM +s; �, 7Y r -� ✓r To: Civil Service Commission From: Officer Brandon Price Date: March 12, 2024 Subject: Application for waiver of minimum qualifications, Senior Police Officer I am respectfully submitting this memorandum to formally request a waiver for one of the minimum qualifications regarding the testing process of Senior Police Officer. One of the minimum standards for the testing process is, the applicant must have worked the last two years at the Bakersfield Police Department. In January 2022, my family and I made the decision to move out of state and start a new chapter in our lives. We moved to Casper Wyoming, where I began work as a Police Officer. Prior to this move, I had been a sworn Police Officer for the City of Bakersfield since August of 2018. While in Wyoming, my family and I realized that Bakersfield was in -fact our home, and we decided to move back. I applied for re -instatement to the Bakersfield Police Department and was graciously awarded the honor on August 15t, 2022. 1 was fortunate enough to pick-up almost right where I had left off. Prior to my departure, I was a member of the S.W.A.T. team, assigned to the Traffic Detail, and worked as an F.T.O. Since my return, 1 have been re -selected as a member of the S.W.A.T. team, assigned to the traffic detail, been selected for the Traffic M.C.I.T ( Major Collision and Investigation Team), F.T.O, and A Life Interrupted presenter. I believe my training and experience at the Bakersfield Police Department would be very useful at the position of Senior Police Officer. As it stands, my last two years with the department won't be complete until August 15Y, 2024. Therefore, I am requesting a waiver of the minimum qualification "The last two years with the Bakersfield Police department", as I meet all the other qualifications. Thank you for your time and consideration, Officer Brandon Price The Bakersfield Police Department partners with our community to protect the lives and property of the people we serve.
