When a police officer takes a civil service test to be promoted, does it take passing the test AND an appointment to the new rank, or is the test hard enough for anyone who passes it to reach a new rank?

Asked by Eagle about 12 years ago

No idea - I didn't work at one of those departments.

I would sincerely hope that people were not promoted based on a test score, but when you mix government and unions and there is rarely any room for common sense.

Promotion should be based on ability. Most tests are only analyzing a person's ability to memorize a set of facts.

if you got caught in a parking lot "parking" and you didnt sign a paper or anything does that show up on a record anywhere?

Asked by sydney almost 12 years ago

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database. If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

In other words, if anyone with a license can carry a gun, that gives them the power to kill people. Even if they only use their gun for the right reasons, they still have so much power without necessarily that much training.

Asked by Hello (follow up) about 12 years ago

The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit. If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.

It would be investigated as any other crime.

I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay about 12 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement. Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.
