 7        Sec. 3-7009.  Promotions. Promotion of deputy sheriffs in
 8    the  County  Police Department, full-time deputy sheriffs not
 9    employed as county  police  officers  or  county  corrections
10    officers,  and  of  employees  in  the  County  Department of
11    Corrections  shall  be  made  by  the  sheriff   from   those
12    candidates  who have been certified to him as being qualified
13    for promotion. Certification for promotion in one  department
14    shall  not  constitute certification for promotion in another
15    department.  The  Board   shall   make   certifications   for
16    promotions  on the basis of ascertained merit, experience and
17    physical, mental and other tests and examinations.  Promotion
18    shall  not  be  based  on  the  number of arrests made by the
19    person  to  be  promoted.   Those  promoted  shall  serve   a
20    probationary  period  of 12 months and during that period may
21    be reduced to their former rank at the  will  of  the  Board.
22    Employees of the house of correction whose names, at the time
23    of  the  transfer  of  the  house of correction to the County
24    Department  of  Corrections,  appear  on  a   civil   service
25    promotional register, shall retain the same status insofar as
26    their  eligibility  to  comparable positions in the employ of
27    the County Department of Corrections is concerned.
