A severe time constraint wasplaced on the return of the notices to Deputy ChiefShannon in sealed envelopes. No majority sergeantswere queried, only minority ones.MEMORIES OF RECENT PASTIt wasn't too long ago that former Chief Gain's administrationqueried minority patrol officers on appointmentsto sergeant. Nine minorities out of over fiftytook the jobs. A provision of the 1979 Consent Decreegave seniority however to these minority sergeants onthe basis of their ranking on the promotional list, a provision insisted on by the POA.POA ACTSWhen the POA became aware of Chief Mutphy'squick survey of minority sergeants, an immediate objectionwas made and the entire matter was held inabeyance until all parties agree on a procedure to appointofficers to temporary higher rank.The survey of minority sergeants alone was not consistentwith the spirit of the Consent Decree.Demonstrated performances, experience, seniority andother factors must be studied when determiningqualifications for appointment to higher rank - notrace or sex alone.The POA will continue to monitor the actions of theAdministration with respect to temporary appoint- -ments to higher rank pending an equitable resolution.SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENTCOMMEMORATIVE REVOLVER1856Plans are in the works for each active or retiredmember of the San Francisco Police Department topurchase a commemorative revolver celebrating our125th Anniversary, 1856-1981.
