How did Chief Bolton become Merit protected? I always thought people in those high ranks were not under the Merit System. Was that a special deal extended to the chief when ghe was hired? Just asking...confusing.
I heard that Merit Protection is something new with this chief. I don't know for sure, but I heard that Vernon back doored it through the BOC.
Not 100% clear about the circumstances though.
Merit protection means you can't be fired without cause.
If you are demoted from an appointed position, you drop down to your previous merit protected rank....ie if you are a Major and were promoted like they were in the past..ie from Cpt. to Major, you would move back down to Captain like two of our majors have done multiple times.
How does it work for Bolton?
Can he be moved to Animal Control with the rank of Captain and the same salary?
