There is a little conflict. It has to do with 220. Its a basic question.
What can operations section chief open up ? Fast track says only groups/sectors, branches but NOT units.
The key has a chart ( inluded below) and says it can open all 3. The patrol guide i was only able to find where it said it could open group/sectors, branches. Anyone shed light on this ? check out the images below for what i am talking about.
I just know what key is teaching as 220 is the only PG section I don't read and just go by the key notes/CDs/ classes. I know they teach Op can open all 3.
I sent Key an E-mail, I'll let you know if they reply, otherwise I'm going to class on Monday I'll def ask. From what I see, it looks like you are right though, no units.

Yeah, that's a bad choice of words. We put "Yes" in the column marked "Units" which is a technical term in CIMS for subordinate teams. In that box there is an italicized note saying that the 'units' are not specifically named. For the Operations Section Chief, who runs almost the entire detail on the street and has most of the (uniforms) people assigned to him, naturally has 'ground level' units. However, the technical term "units" is not used for those 'ground level' subordinate units, instead they use the term "teams" and "resources," not units. Thanks for pointing that out.
I got a question on financial restrictions. I've tried to reach out to the key but they didn't get back to me yet. It says that we cannot have a position or ownership interest when dealing with the department no exceptions. Ownership is defined as more than 5% or 32000 or more. Than technically if you have 5% or less than 32k you're not in violation and can have a position. anyone else define this differently?
You can have OI in company that has dealings with city if it's publicly traded. That is the exception tnat doesn't exist if the Comapany does business with the Dept.

The way I interpret that is I don't need to abide by oi when dealing with city if the company is publicly traded. I can have a millions in it. But if its not publicly traded than oi comes into the play.
3. In addition to the prohibitions outlined above, a Department employee may not have an ownership interest in a firm that is engaged in business dealings with the Department or have an ownership interest in a firm whose shares are not publicly traded, that is engaged in business dealings with the City.

A position with a firm with dealings with the city is NG, unless publicly traded An "ownership interest" (defined as >5% or $32k) is NG - unless publicly traded
So, if Snapple was publicly traded and had dealing with the city but not the department, you could own 90% of it. You could also have a position with them.
A position with a firm with dealings with the department is NG An "ownership interest" (defined as >5% or $32k) is NG - so less than that is ok
But if the PC and CIRB approve, you can violate these rules.

Exactly. When it comes to the a firm doing business with the department publicly traded or not it's no good. The patrol guide as usual is misleading and confusing. The step I posted really should be broken down into two separate statements.
NYG37... My apologies. I misunderstood your original question. I think we are all in agreement with the answer, we just have a different way of getting there.
