| Mission/Purpose: | The purpose of the Fire Fighters’ and Police Officers’ Civil Service Commission is to secure efficient Fire and Police Departments composed of capable personnel who are free from political influence and who have permanent employment tenure as public servants.

State Civil Service Laws (Chapter 143) applies to cities that have a population greater than 10,000, a paid Fire and/or Police Department, and a citizen-approved adoption of civil service through an election.
