The latest patrol sergeant selection was from two, count them, two applicants.
One applicant had about five years on the department, the other applicant had close to twenty years with the department. This is not a post about the qualifications (either good or bad) of either applicant.
What happened to everyone else? In times past, there would be a rush of applicants for the written and oral testing once the open position was announced. The selection would be made using the rule of the top three who qualified. It appears that the deputies have finally gotten the message from longshanks. That is "Don't bother testing because we will pick who we want-when we want." That message has been demonstrated with promotions before and now it appears the message has got through.
Too bad, but that is the direction that the department has been going for some time-DOWNHILL.
