The Civil Service Commission works to ensure that recruitment, selection and placement of uniformed firefighters and police personnel below the level of chief are made in a fair and unbiased process. The commission also investigates in public hearings the suspension, demotion and/or discharge of a member of the civil service at the member's request, to determine whether such action was made in good faith for cause and/or for political or religious reasons.
