Police Grades Passing Mark Lower Than Prescribed
posted (January 10, 2011)
On Friday night we told you about the abysmal grades on the police promotional exam. Well it's not as bad as we thought - but that's because the passing grade of 65-60 listed in the police orders were changed at the last minute and substituted with a more permissive 60-60.

With that grade, it means that of the 479 police men and women who sat the test, 111 passed; under the 65-60 passing mark - which, again, was listed in the police orders, it would have been only 39.

The constables performed best, 84 of 293 passed; of the 109 Corporals, 14 passed, and of the 77 Sergeants, 13 passed. That means of the 479 who took the test - under the 60 - 60 passing mark, 111 passed.

That means that 23% of the 479 test-takers got a passing grade.
