Civil Service Board
The Civil Service Board was established by the North Carolina Public Local and Private Session Laws of 1929, Chapter 124. At present, its principal functions are to evaluate and potentially approve new applicants for employment as submitted to the board by the Fire and Police Chiefs; to evaluate and potentially approve all promotions and demotions recommended by the Chiefs of both departments; to maintain a register of officers graduating from the academy; to hold hearings for employees of these departments who have been cited for termination by the Chief; to hold hearings for employees of these departments, upon their request, against whom charges have been brought by the Chiefs of the respective department; and to require that the departments investigate matters involving Police Officers or Firefighters in the public interest.
