Middletown NY Detective

Very interesting - they allow any police officer to take their exam for detective? You don't have to be a Middletown PO to become a Middletown detective? Quite unusual.

That is very odd. Is detective a rank that is recognized by civil service in NY? Such as Sgt., Lt. etc.

PROCESSING FEE: $40.00

now I understand why you don't have to be a Middletown PO to take this test.

Yes and no. In most places it is not a rank but a "designation". Due to issues with promotional processes and inequities, Civil Service did establish a test for it but most agencies don't call it a promotion and use the designation to avoid the testing requirement.

I'm just surprised that Middletown will let anyone take that exam...
