2008 Promotion Process
The Merit Board certifies sworn officer candidates as being qualified for promotion to the Director of the Illinois State Police. Certification for promotion is based on job performance measurement, written examination, assessment exercises (for appropriate ranks) and seniority. All vacancies in ranks above the lowest are to be filled by promotion.
Thorough job analysis studies of the knowledge, skills, abilities and work behavior for each rank are periodically conducted to assure content, validity and compliance with state and federal employment guidelines
Promotional testing for 2008 will be offered for those officers testing to the rank of Sergeant and Master Sergeant.
