(A) For the candidates with the top 25 scores on the written exam, those candidates must be submitted for a local police check. The results of such a check will be evaluated. If the check reveals negative entries, the candidate will be removed from the selection process.
(B) The New Albany Fire Department will notify any candidate by certified letter of the negative entries in the local police check. If a candidate believes the candidate's negative entries are incorrect, the candidate must appeal, in writing, to the City Attorney within two weeks of notification of the negative entries. The City Attorney will verify the information as the local police check revealed and any information supplied in the written appeal of the candidate. The City Attorney will determine if the candidate should be allowed to continue on to the interview element (§ 32.084) of the selection process.
