ination for the position of police officer and be placed on the eligible

Allegany.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS::
Section 1: Joseph Fredrick, who has been employed by the village of
Allegany, as a part-time police officer, shall be eligible to take the
competitive civil service examination for the position of police officer
and shall be eligible to be placed on the eligible list for appointment
as a full-time police officer with the village of Allegany.
Section 2: Joseph Fredrick shall be subject to the merit and fitness
provisions of the civil service law applicable to full-time police offi-
cers.
Section 3: This act shall take effect immediately.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
Joe has served with distinction as a part-time officer for many years.
He began his career in 2006 with the Town of Cuba Police Department and
has maintained continuous, exemplary service ever since. During his time
with the village of Allegany, Joe has proven to be an invaluable asset
to the department and the community.
Currently, New York State Civil Service age requirements preclude them
from transitioning Joe to a full-time role via the standard examination
process. However, given his extensive experience and unwavering commit-
ment to law enforcement, they're eager to have him join their ranks on a
permanent, full-time basis.
