Preference Points
Veteran’s Preference Points
Applicants who served in the United States military actively for at least one (1) year and who were honorably discharged or are now on inactive or reserve duty shall be preferred for employment and shall receive a total of five (5) preference points. Proof of such service must include a copy of Military Form DD-214 (long form) as proof of active service, evidence of the honorable discharge and a sworn affidavit by the applicant (Forms 2C and 2D).
Educational Preference Points
Any applicant who has successfully obtained an associate’s degree in the field of fire service or emergency medical services or a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university may receive from zero (0) to five (5) preference at the Board’s discretion. The Board reserves the right to award a greater number of preference points for job-related degrees than for non-job-related degrees.
Experience Preference Points
Applicants employed as full-time firefighters or firefighter-paramedics by a fire protection district or municipality for at least two years may be awarded up to the maximum available preference points for this category at the Board’s discretion. No experience preference points will be awarded under this section to applicants for service with a private employer who had a fire or ambulance service contract with a fire protection district or municipality. The Board shall prorate the awarding of the points based on partial years of experience under this section.
Proof of such service must include submission of copies of applicable certificates, a sworn affidavit by the applicant, and a sworn affidavit by the applicant’s employer (Form 2E). Note that proof of POC or full-time service may be verified by the District. Applicants may be awarded up to one-half (1/2) point for each complete year of paid-on-call or part-time service, up to a total of zero (0) to five (5) preference points, at the Board’s discretion.
No application of available experience preference points may be allowed that will cause any candidate on the Initial Eligibility Register to pass over or be listed above a veteran. In the case of a tie between candidates immediately below a veteran, those tied shall be ranked according to the total they would have achieved if all experience points could have been awarded. Any remaining ties shall be broken by lottery.
Residency Preference Points
The Board, at its discretion, may award from zero (0) to five (5) preference points to applicants whose principal residence is located within the District’s jurisdiction.
