After almost a year of conversations and negotiations, PPOA and the Sheriff’s Department finalized an agreement today (April 10, 2020) to eliminate future use of the Dual Track career path, while protecting through amendment to the MOU, the promotional rights of 51 existing Dual Track sergeants and lieutenants.
The time-consuming process involved to complete this agreement, which is in effect through the term of the existing MOU, was the culmination of numerous meetings with PPOA members, the County, the Department, and legal counsel. We are particularly pleased to report, that as the result of this settlement agreement, the remaining 51 Dual Track sergeants and lieutenants will have the opportunity to participate in future promotional examinations, the same as their peers, throughout the Department. Additionally, the agreement allows all remaining 51 Dual Track sergeants and lieutenants to have a career path to the rank of Captain.
