Background
The police department has requested a Police Lieutenant promotional register. The department is filling two vacancies.
The testing process included an oral board, an oral resume presentation, and a written assignment. The minimum passing score for all exercises was set at 70%, and the register rank is weighted 60% on the oral board, 25% on the written assignment, and 15% on the oral resume.
The interview and oral resume panel consisted of WSP Captain Jon Matagi, Thurston County Chief Brad Watkins, Joy Gerchak, Intercity Transit Customer Service Manager, and Tumwater PD Lieutenant Jennifer Kolb. The written exercise evaluators were OPD Interim Deputy Chief Sam Costello, City of Olympia Deputy Attorney Annaliese Harksen, and Strategic Communications Director Kellie Braseth.
Findings:
All four candidates have passed the written assignment, oral resume, and oral interview and have been placed on the register in accordance with their scores. Final ranking scores range from 86.63% - 82.06%.
