Police reexamine sergeant exam papers and promote more officers
Police commissioners ordered re grading of patrolman exam papers for sergeant after discovering two marking errors. Under Chief Examiner Sherwin, 89 officers now pass rather than 4, raising standings of 62 men and lowering 23. The errors involved questions on court jurisdiction in larceny in a building and non bailable offences, with misapplied statutes and assumptions about lower court powers. The board asserts it can promote whomever it pleases, provided a Grand Army man is not passed over.
