announcing the examination and requesting a written response respecting the
officer's intention to participate.
b) Candidates for promotion must complete examinations at the
time designated by the Board in the official notification. No exceptions will
be allowed.
c) Candidates must have taken the most recent examination offered
by the Board to be eligible for certification for promotion. All candidates
taking the examination for each rank will be advised of their total promotional
score and standing.

Process Components
The total promotional score will
consist of combined standardized scores or respective percentage weights of the
components designated for each rank:
|
Components

Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain:
|

|
Job Knowledge Test, Performance
Appraisal and Assessment
|
95%
|
|
Exercise, combined

|
Seniority in Rank
|
Up to 5 points
|
e) Candidates for the ranks of Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Lieutenant
and Captain will participate in a written examination and an assessment
exercise, as well as receive a performance appraisal and a seniority score. The
combined score will be standardized to a 100 point scale. The top 65% of all Sergeants,
Master Sergeants and Lieutenants participating in the total promotional process
will be certified by the Board. The top 65% of candidates is calculated by
taking the total number of candidates on that list, multiplying that number by
0.65 and, in a case of a fraction, rounding up to the next whole integer. Any
officer whose rank on the list is equal to or less than that number shall be
considered certified for promotion. All candidates competing for the ranks of
Lieutenant and Captain must possess a Bachelor's Degree. Those candidates
hired before 1999 will be granted 10 years to complete a Bachelor's Degree.
The 10 year period will begin on January 1, 2003 and end on December 31, 2013.
Candidates must have graduated with a "C" average or better from an
accredited college or university, as certified by the registrar of the college
or university. The college or university must be accredited by one of the
following associations:
1) Middle States Commission on Higher Learning;
2) Higher Learning Commission;
3) New England Commission of Higher Education;
4) Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities;
5) Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges;
6) WASC Senior College and University Commission.
f) The Board will certify to the Director the top 65% of those
Troopers and Special Agents participating in the total promotional process. The
top 65% of candidates is calculated by taking the total number of candidates on
that list, multiplying that number by 0.65 and, in a case of a fraction,
rounding up to the next whole integer. Any officer whose rank on the list is
equal to or less than that number shall be considered certified for promotion.
g) There will be a statewide certification list for the rank of
Captain. The certification lists for Sergeant and Master Sergeant will be
according to Districts and the certification lists for Lieutenant will be
according to Regions, as defined jointly by the Illinois State Police and the
Illinois State Police Merit Board for promotional purposes.
h) The top 10 candidates on each certification list for all ranks
are equally eligible for promotion by the Director; however, in the event of a
tied score, all candidates obtaining such score shall be equally eligible for
promotional consideration. The Director may promote accordingly any one of the
eligible candidates in accordance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
regulations (29 CFR 1600 et seq. (July 1, 2010)) and Illinois Department of
Human Rights guidelines.
1) As promotions are accepted or waived, that candidate with the
next highest total promotional score on the list becomes equally eligible for
promotion; however, in the event of a tied score, all candidates obtaining such
score shall be equally eligible for promotional consideration;
2) Eligible candidates on the certification list may decline an
offer of promotion without losing position on the certification list. In the
event of declination, that candidate with the next highest total promotional
score becomes equally eligible for promotion; however, in the event of a tied
score, all candidates obtaining such score shall be equally eligible for
promotional consideration.
i) Upon written notification from the Department to the Board
that a candidate on the certification list has been suspended, is on leave of
absence, or has applied for disability benefits, the Board will remove the
candidate's name from the certification list. The candidate's name will be
restored on the list in a position in proper relation to the total promotional
scores remaining when the suspension or leave of absence terminates or the
disability is removed.
j) The certification list shall remain in force until the new
certification list has been established; however, in the event that a
certification list becomes exhausted, the Director will file a written request
with the Board asking for the certification of additional names on any one list
if necessary to fill vacant positions.

SECTION 150.680 DECISIONS OF THE BOARD
Section 150.680 Decisions of
the Board
All decisions of the Board as to
guilt or innocence will be announced within 90 days after receipt of the
Hearing Officer's proposal for decision, or within 90 days after the Hearing
Officer's response to the parties' comments or arguments, whichever is later, as
outlined in this Section:
a) After the hearing on a Complaint, the Board shall render a
written decision outlining the findings of fact upon which the decision is
based and mail it by either registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the officer charged. A copy of the decision shall be mailed to
the Director. The decision will find the officer guilty, if the charges are
established by a preponderance of the evidence, or not guilty. If the Board
finds the officer guilty of any or all of the accusations included in the
Complaint, the Board will promptly order the officer's discharge, demotion, or
a suspension for a period of not more than 180 days, or recommend participation
in a rehabilitative program, including but not limited to the State Employee
Assistance Program, whichever in the opinion of the Board is most applicable.
If the officer is found not guilty or has served a period of suspension greater
than prescribed by the Board, the Board shall order that the officer receive
compensation for the period involved. The award of compensation shall include
interest at the rate of 7% per annum. This determination will be based on the
final decision of the Board, the officer, and legal counsel after reviewing all
pertinent information including, but not limited to, monies due to the State or
to third parties involved in the charges, and income earned or received by the
officer during the period involved. Officers are required to disclose any
income earned or received (e.g., public assistance or unemployment
compensation) during the period involved.
b) After the hearing on a Petition for Review, the Board will
render a written decision outlining the facts upon which the decision is based,
and mail it by either registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
to the officer filing the Petition. A copy of the decision shall be mailed to
the Director. The decision will find the officer guilty, if the contents of
the Notice of Suspension are established by a preponderance of the evidence, or
not guilty. If the Board finds the officer guilty of any or all of the
contents of the Notice of Suspension, the Board may sustain, reduce, or reverse
the action of the Director or Deputy Director; and in the event of reversal or
reduction, the Board shall order that the officer receive the pay for the
appropriate period involved. The award of compensation shall include interest
at the rate of 7% per annum. The Board may not increase the extent of
disciplinary measures upon appeal of a suspension of up to 30 days. Such
decision shall be supported by a statement of findings of fact. A copy of the
decision shall be mailed to the attorneys of record, the Director and the
Deputy Director that initiated the action.
c) The Director shall carry out the order of the Board, and if
the accused officer refuses to abide by the order, the Director shall remove
the officer immediately.
d) If the Board finds that a party has made allegations or
denials without reasonable cause or has engaged in frivolous litigation for the
purpose of delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation, it may order
that party to pay the other party's reasonable expenses, including costs and
reasonable attorney's fees.
