The functions of a Police Corporal are similar to that of a Police Officer with additional duties to train and act as an assistant supervisor or lead in the absence of a Sergeant or higher -ranking police personnel. While participants are normally assigned to a specific function, all functional areas of the law enforcement field, including investigation, administration, and training are included. Police Corporals may be assigned to work in uniform or plain clothes. Shift schedules and job assignments may be changed periodically to ensure the maximum delivery of effective police service. This special assignment is distinguished from Police Sergeant in that the latter is the first supervisor level in the sworn class series. Program Summary Under the general supervision of a Police Lieutenant or Police Sergeant the Police Corporal performs a wide variety of lead patrol and related duties involving the prevention of crime, the protection of life and property and the enforcement of laws and City ordinances; conducts investigations, assists in the preparation of cases and testifies in court; serves in specialized departmental roles as assigned; provides swift, skillful, professional, responsive, and courteous police services; supervises civilian and technical support staff. In addition, the Police Corporal duties shall include, but are not limited to, serving as a mentor, and/or shift supervisor (and any related duties) under the direction of a Police Lieutenant or Police Sergeant. Police Corporals will be expected to take a leadership role in the development of patrol personnel and problem solving related to crime and quality of life issues in the community, while utilizing a Community Based Policing approach. Compensation Employees shall be entitled to a 5% Corporal Premium Pay of the employee's base monthly salary, excluding all other compensation. The 5% Corporal Premium Pay shall not be considered to be part of the employee's base salary when computing other incentive pays. Assignment The Police Corporal program is a special assignment, not a classified position. The City may authorize up to a maximum of four (4) Police Corporals at one time. For the initial selection process Police Corporals shall have their seniority set forth by their appointment date to the assignment and/or date of hire. After the initial selection process is completed, seniority will be set forth by date of assignment. Page 11 At the department's discretion, four (4) Police Corporals may be assigned to the Patrol Division. If multiple in-house detectives are chosen during the initial selection to the Police Corporal program, only one in-house detective will remain in the current detective assignment as a Police Corporal. Management reserves the right to select which in-house detective will remain in the Detective Division. Once the initial Police Corporal Detective is selected, any remaining detective(s) selected for the program will be re -assigned from their respective detective assignment, unless the detective opts not to accept the Police Corporal assignment and wishes to remain in the Detective Unit. If this occurs, the detective will not be placed on the eligibility list and will be required to test for a future Police Corporal position. The detective re -assignment will occur as follows: The detective(s) having the longest tenure in the assignment will be re -assigned to the Patrol Division. If any detective assigned to an outside taskforce is selected for the Police Corporal program, he/she will be re -assigned to the Patrol Division. Officers assigned to the Police Corporal program will be removed from the eligible Field Training Officer (FTO) list. Qualifications and Examination Process Applicants for the Police Corporal program must have completed three (3) years of continuous service as a sworn Police Officer in a P.O.S.T. certified agency, with a minimum of one (1) year of service as a sworn Police Officer with the Vernon Police Department. Applicants must possess a valid Basic P.O.S.T. Certificate. The examination process for the Police Corporal program will be composed of two parts. Part 1 is an oral presentation exercise on a specified topic. Part 2 is an oral interview following the presentation exercise. The oral presentation and interview will be evaluated by an independent evaluation panel. Candidates must participate in all two parts of the Police Corporal examination in order to receive a final score on the examination process. For the purposes of establishing the eligibility list for this assignment, the components of the examination process will be weighted as follows: Oral Presentation: 40% Oral Interview: 60% A review of each candidate's performance evaluations for the past three years will also be reviewed by the Chief of Police as part of the selection process. For the initial selection process only, the first four (4) highest ranking applicants on the eligibility list will be offered a Police Corporal assignment. Applicants not selected for the program will remain on an eligibility list which will expire one year from the date that the list is established and be utilized to fill vacant positions that occur during that time period. The Chief of Police will select subsequent assignments at his discretion from active eligibility lists and will utilize the eligibility list to select a Police Corporal assignment based on the "Rule of 3," which consists of the top three candidates with the highest overall score. Page 12 Assignment to the Police Corporal program is desirable, however not a requirement for appointment to the classification of Police Sergeant. Shift Selection Police Corporals will select their respective patrol shift every four (4) months consistent with how patrol shifts are currently selected. It is understood that at a minimum of one (1) Police Corporal will be assigned to each of the two patrol shifts. If there is a conflict regarding the shift selection among Police Corporals to uphold the minimum shift assignment, a Police Corporal will be placed in the shift selection according to their seniority level within the overall Police Corporal group. Limitations The Police Corporal assignment has no term limit; however, a Police Corporal may be removed from his/her assignment at the discretion of the Chief of Police for failure to meet the standards and expectations of the program. Police Corporals will be evaluated quarterly for the first year during the training process and upon successful completion will be evaluated annually, consistent with current policy and procedure for City employees. If at any time a Police Corporal is placed into a schedule as supervisor of a patrol shift absent a police sergeant and it is anticipated that a temporary vacancy of six (6) weeks or more will exist in a budgeted position, he/she will be entitled to additional compensation in accordance with City Personnel Rules related to an employee serving in a acting/interim role for a specified time period. The Chief of Police reserves the right to make changes to the Police Corporal program and assignment structure based on operational needs and availability of resources.
