The three Commissioners of the Fire and Police Commission, appointed by the Village President with the consent of the Board of Trustees, have the responsibility to:
1) Recruit, select and recommend to the Village Manager all professional officers and members of the Fire and Police Departments for the Village of Oak Lawn.
2) Recommend to the Village Manager all promotions in the Fire and Police Departments on the basis of merit and examination.
3) Conduct a fair and impartial hearing of charges filed against any officer or member of the Fire and Police Departments.
4) Pursue educational opportunities as provided by the Illinois Fire and Police Commissioners Association and laws pertaining to civil rights, etc., insofar as they apply to Fire and Police Department hiring and promotion.
Because of legal implications and complications in selection testing and promotional testing, discretion dictates that the Commissioners make use of a professional testing service when hiring or promoting members of the Fire and Police Departments.
Commissioners have an obligation to attend annual training seminars conducted by the Illinois Fire and Police Commissioners Association and other related agencies.
