(4) Public Participation.
Officer Adam Reavley addressed the Commission seeking clarification on the weighting of college credits on promotional scores. Officer Reavley stated he believed it to be an inconsistency to weight a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or law enforcement the same as bachelor's degree in other areas while weighting an associate's degree in criminal justice or law enforcement more than an associate's degree in other areas. When asked by the Commission for his view on this issue, Chief Uplegger responded that the weighting should be uniform for each kind of degree, regardless of the area in which it's awarded. Officer Reavley indicated that he agreed with that view point.
