Optional Technical Skills Evaluation. (1) The Technical Skills Evaluation will be developed by a consultant chosen by the Chief of Police from a list generated by the Director of Civil Service. The Evaluation will consist of one or more written scenario(s) to which the candidate shall submit a written response. The written Technical Skills evaluation should be closely related to the job functions of the rank being tested for and ascertainment of evaluative skillsets. If a specific format or formulaic response is favored, this should be clearly established in the instructions so as to not penalize a candidate for simply failing to follow a favored format. Candidates should be provided sufficient time to complete such evaluation. (2) The Evaluation will be administered by the Civil Service Commission immediately following the Written Examination and before the grading of the Written Examination. The candidate’s written responses to the Evaluation will be sealed and held for scoring by assessors selected by the consultant based on the same criteria used for selecting Assessment Center assessors in Section 6 below. The candidate’s written responses to the Evaluation will not be graded unless the candidate scored at least seventy percent (70%) on the Written Examination. (3) Scoring of the written responses will be based on a key provided to the assessors by the consultant. The scoring key will award points based on whether the response includes applicable topics or concepts and shall not allow partial credit for topics or concepts, to ensure that the scoring is objective in nature and does not reflect the assessor’s subjective judgment.
