Lateral Entry. On recommendation of the Agency Head, applicants with more than one (1) year of continuous, full time law enforcement experience may be approved to begin employment at a pay grade higher than Step 1 on the pay plan for the applicable classification. The lateral hire may be placed on a Step on the pay plan that provides them with their most recent hourly rate of pay, but no higher than this amount. If their most recent rate of pay is in between steps, the Agency shall place them on the next higher step. In all other respects, applicants eligible for hire under this section will be treated as a new hire without prior experience. These applicants will not receive any additional credit in computing seniority, vacation time, or longevity pay. The Agency shall have discretion to offer a lateral training camp of current law enforcement officers and establish the training curriculum.
