CHAPTER 4, CONCERNING LATERAL ENTRY.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Cypress, California,
that Chapter 4. Section 4. 19 "Lateral Entry" is hereby amended to read as
follows:
CHAPTER 4. APPLICATIONS, APPLICANTS AND EMPLOYMENT
Section 4.19 Lateral and/or Academy Entry.
If, in the opinion of the appointing power, a vacancy for the position of
police officer could best be filled by recruitment of an experienced police
officer and/or academy trained individuals in lieu of an open competitive examina-
tion, the appointing power may then request the Personnel Office to advertise
for such applicants. All such applicants shall be required to pass appropriate
examinations administered and conducted by the Personnel Officer. All applicants
must possess a P.O.S.T. Basic Certificate as authorized in the Penal Code Section
13500-13523 or be eligible at time of appointment pending completion of appropriate
city experience to receive a P.O.S.T. Basic Certificate, and meet all other
qualifications of the police officer class specification of the Position Classifi-
cation Plan of the City of Cypress.
Except as otherwise provided, experienced officers and/or academy trained
individuals hired to police officer positions shall be subject to the same rules
and regulations as police officers with no prior experience.
Upon meeting all above requirements, candidates may be appointed to a police
officer position at any authorized step within the salary range established for
the police officer position, subject to the approval of the City Manager.
This selection technique shall be impartial and shall relate to those areas
which, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, will adequately and fairly indi-
cate the relative ability and quality of candidates under consideration to exe-
cute the duties and responsibilities of the position to which they seek to be
appointed. This process shall in no way be affected or influenced by race, reli-
gious creed, sex, color, national origin, ancestry, age, or (when the nature of
the work and facilities permit) physical handicap. Due consideration shall be
granted to the City's Affirmative Action Plan.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress, at its
regular meeting held on the 12th day of January, 1981.
