Upon completion of all promotional testing, the names of the persons having the highest three (3) scores on the eligibility list shall be submitted to the Chief of Police for his/her consideration. Should an eligibility list be established based upon the banding of test scores, the names of persons on the list shall be submitted by band to the Chief of Police for his/her consideration.
