Historical Note

The Public Safety Civil Service Commission was established in 1979 to conform with a 1977 State Law requiring a separate civil service system for uniformed police officers and fire fighters. The Commission classifies positions, develops and administers examinations, hears appeals, and handles other personnel matters. The Commission is comprised of three members, one each appointed by the Mayor and City Council and one elected by police officers and firefighters.
