Now that the Sergeant's register has
been published, Civil Service has indicated that the next test will
be for Lieutenant. The test is in the 2008 budget, so while some
preliminary work may actually be done in 2007, the test itself will
not be developed and produced until sometime well into 2008. The
current Lieutenant's List, good through January 31, 2008, will likely
be extended through to the summer of 2008. There has been no word
on requisites for that test, such as how many college credits or
degree requirements, nor probationary or permanent status requisites.
After that, will be the next Captain's test, probably
in late 2008 or early 2009. Then the cycle will repeat and there
will be a new Sergeant's test, expected in 2009.

12 Hour Shifts
Last Friday, Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann attended a meeting
with Superintendent Warren Riley. Also present were representatives
from B.O.P., F.O.P. and P.O.W.E.R.. The superintendent called the
meeting to discuss the possibility of twelve hour shifts.
The superintendent expressed his concern about the
violent crime problem and was of the belief that 12 hours shifts
would assist us in crime fighting as well as being an asset as it
concerns officer safety.
He proposed several plans and said that nothing was
final. He did indicate that he contemplated the 12 hour shifts for
60 days and for 90 days. He also considered whether all district
platoons should participate or whether to limit it to the 1st, 2nd,
5th, 6th and 7th.
NOTE: This would only affect the district platoon
personnel and would not extend to specialized units.
The 12 hour shifts would not be like the old 12 hour
shifts in the late 90’s. This would be a two platoon system
with overtime being paid for work over the 8.35 hours.
The PANO board will meet to discuss the 12 hour shifts
and your opinion is extremely important. As your PANO board, we
are asking that you either post your opinion on the forum, or attend
the next scheduled PANO general membership meeting (09-11-2007/
Ernst Café 7:00 PM). You can also call the PANO office to
voice your opinion.
I have spoken with some of the board members and we
have our opinions on this and we will express them at the upcoming
meeting. Please make an effort to be there, even if you are not
on the platoons, as your opinion is important.
As we represent YOU, we need your input. Please let
us know how you feel about this possible strategy.
