Topic: The Club House / Taking Officer Exam

My department makes you go through the motions of testing, interviewing, and talking to the chief when they already have the dumb ass officers picked out. These incompetent idiots miraculously pass all the tests and then get promoted! If the top people on the list are not on “their” list, then that list gets thrown out on a technicality, then a new test takes place. In this department, you have to know someone to get ahead. Working the line for 20 yrs is getting old. I have attempted to get promoted the right way 5 times. I am not incompetent and I know the job better than 90% of the administration.
