I just turned 32 and ranked 192 on the Boston list - so this is my last shot. I am confident they will reach my ranking but concerned with the possibility [if it is possible, which everything is] that I may not receive a card because they are looking to diversify the department. I am aware that the 1 for 1 rule was over ruled last year however I read an article in the Globe this morning concerning diversity in the upper ranks and went further into the apparent community feelings of lack of diversity in the patrolman responding to calls in "...area's of color" (Globe). The Commissioner stated that diversity needs to begin with recruiting. Makes sense however as a white male trying his hardest to get on, I selfishly do not want to be bypassed [again] for that reason. I hope I did not offend anyone as that was not my intent. I am simply trying to understand fully how Civil Service [can] work. |
