Latest version.

  • (a)

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the selection, appointment and tenure of employees in the Police Cadet program shall be governed by this section.

    (b)

    The classes of Police Cadet I and Police Cadet II are created for the special purpose of providing training and experience to incumbents and are designed ultimately to lead to appointment to a full-time permanent position in the Police Department. Each position in the Police Cadet series shall be a permanent full-time position, except as otherwise provided in this section.

    (c)

    Certification and appointment to positions in the Police Cadet I class shall be made from an eligible list established for the class of Police Cadet I. Whenever a vacancy exists in one or more positions in the Police Cadet I class, the appointing authority may request certification for appointment of the names of one or more eligibles on such list and make appointments based thereon without regard to their relative standing on the list.

    (d)

    Persons appointed to positions in the Police Cadet series shall be required, as a condition of employment, to participate in prescribed on-going training and education activities designed to prepare a Police Cadet for appointment to a full-time permanent position in the Police Department. Employment in the series of Police Cadet shall be limited to four calendar years (48 months) during which period a Police Cadet shall be examined and appointed to a full-time permanent position in the Police Department or shall be terminated from the program. Employment in the program may be extended beyond the four-year period only until such time as a vacant full-time permanent vacancy becomes available in the class for which the Police Cadet has been examined and deemed eligible for appointment.

    (e)

    The name of a Police Cadet who is terminated from the program shall not be restored to the eligible list from which that individual was appointed and shall be removed from the eligible lists for Police Officer, Police Officer Recruit, Academy Trainee, Emergency Service Dispatcher, Community Services Officer, Property and Evidence Technician, Neighborhood Services Representative and Identification Technician. The provisions of Section 3-275(b) shall not apply to an employee terminated during the probationary period in any full-time permanent position if appointed directly from a position in the class of Police Cadet.
