• <br />Civil Service Meeting <br />September 14, 1981 <br />Page 7 <br />~~: <br /> <br />Jo ner: I know with the State if a patrolman leaves the State Patrol and then takes <br />another job for whatever reason and then he passes 35 or 36 the State will not let <br />him go back. He may have 12 years or 10 years, but once he passes that magic age, <br />he doesn't go back with the State as a patrolman. <br />Hudgens: Like I say, I have never understood how the state got away with that in <br />light of a lot of the court decisions and things that have occured, especially in <br />the 70's. <br />Jo ner: It possibly has never been challenged in court. <br />Trainer: Well, if the upper age limit is specifically called out in the Act, then <br />we don't need to worry about it because that's---- <br />Hud ens: Well, there are exceptions to that. One is if a veteran he can go to <br />age--what--38? <br />Freeman: I'm not sure about a veteran. <br />Hudgens: --or if he has 5 years police service prior to-- <br />Davis: A person shall be certified as eligible for a beginning position with the <br />Police Department who has reached his 45th burthday but--- <br />Hudgens: That's if he has 5 years previous experience. <br />Davis: Right. <br />Randall: Mary, where are you finding that at? <br />Hudgens: That's in the Act itself. <br />Randall: O.K. <br />Davis: It's about three-quarters of the way down. <br />Hudgens: We currently don't have any vacancies in the patrolmen's slot, do we? <br />Freeman: No sir. <br />Davis: These agility tests might help to week out some of our Workmen's Comp. <br />prob ems too. <br />Hudgens: That has never really been a problem in our Police Department. <br />Trainer: Yeah, it's 36, Mary. It's 36. He's not to be considered if he's past 36, <br />unless he's got 5 years previous experience and then that can go up to 45, but <br />people without prior experience--under 36--you're out. That's strange. <br />~• <br />
