A.
Before any person shall be appointed as a member of the Police Department,
the Director of Public Safety shall classify, in accordance with the
Certification of Eligibles List hereinafter described, all the duly
qualified applicants for the position or positions to be filled in
the following classes:
(1)
Class I: Persons who have resided within the Township of Winslow
from the announced closing date of the Department of Personnel examination
up to and including the date of appointment.
(2)
Class II: Other persons who have resided in the County of Camden
from the announced closing date of the Department of Personnel examination
up to and including the date of appointment.
(3)
Class III: Other persons who are residents of the State of New Jersey
from the announced closing date of the Department of Personnel examination
up to and including the date of appointment.
(4)
Class IV: All other persons who are qualified applicants.
B.
Each such classification must be accorded all other preferences as
are set forth in N.J.S.A. 40A:14-123.1a or otherwise prescribed by
law.
In making such appointments, the Director of Public Safety shall
first appoint all those in Class I and then those in each succeeding
class in the order above listed and shall appoint a person or persons
in any such class only to a vacancy or vacancies remaining after all
qualified applicants in the preceding class or classes have been appointed
or have declined an offer of appointment.
The classes of qualified applicants defined herein shall be
considered as separate and successive lists of eligibles, and the
New Jersey Department of Personnel shall, when requested to certify
eligibles for positions, make such certifications from said classes
separately and successively and shall certify no persons from any
such class until all persons in the preceding class or classes have
been appointed or have declined offers of appointment.
This chapter shall apply only to initial appointments and not
promotional appointments of persons already members of the Police
Department.
In making temporary appointments, the Director of Public Safety
shall utilize the classifications set forth herein and shall classify
accordingly all duly qualified applicants for the position or positions
to be temporarily filled.
