Eligibility for a Lieutenant exam?
Permalink  

Can someone on the sgt list sit for the next lieutenant exam? How does this work? I usually hear 1 day in rank for it to count, 1 year to be eligible for promotion? If someone with a couple of years to burn waiting on this list takes the next Lt exam and passes would they show up on the lt list even before they get promoted to sgt?

No. You cannot sit for the Lt's exam while you are a Police Officer. You would need at least one day in rank, meaning; you have to have been promoted to Sgt. already. Being on an active list is not enough.

Also, to be eligible for promotion to Lt, you need two years in rank of Sgt., (not one year).

Next sgt lt and capt exams are going to be 2021 so the lists can be established once the current exams run their four year course and expire.

We got a ways to go my friends...
