• Civil Service Hearing 10/15/81 Page 4 • Trainer: Do you have the document on each of those three Officers? Freeman: I have one at this time on Scott Parker. Ah, let's see if we can find the others. Trainer: This is simply the time.(refering to attendance book) Freeman: Here's Neely, Ed Butchee - - yes sir, I have all three documents. Trainer: I'd like those submitted in evidence please. Can we mark that as one exhibit for all? (To Davis) Would you mark that as exhibit #1 please? Have you Officers seen this document? (The Officers reply in the negative.) Trainer: Show it to them.

Chief, can you enlighten us a little on that a little bit? Freeman: Yes sir, I can, ah, the---I'm looking for the job classification under the old system of the Detective. I have Detective Sergeant but I don't have the Detective. Trainer: Is this a --is this a job description? Freeman: Yes. Trainer: Do you have a job description for Detective which was the position that the Officers were in? Freeman: Yes sir, I do. Trainer: I'd like to also have that admitted as evidence. Freeman: Alright. All I've got to do is find it. There---I've got it. This is the job description, ah, prior to October 1, of '81, that these Officers worked under. Trainer: O.K. (inaudible discussion between members of Commission) Chier, we'd like you to keep this copy for right now and just kind of go through it verbally with us explaining those duties; then we will introduce it and make it a part of the permanent record.
