Quick context to catch up fast.
The Board reviewed draft rule changes that would expand and modernize police hiring, including continuous hiring, a larger applicant pool, and more flexibility in how candidates are managed. The proposed changes still need City Council approval and a City Code amendment before they can take effect.

The Board spent most of the meeting on proposed changes to how police candidates are hired. Those changes would let the City keep applications open in a more flexible way, add more candidates to the pool, and update the process for both police and fire hiring. The Board also confirmed that a firefighter candidate is being background-checked, and a police lateral candidate was placed back on the hiring list. No major public-safety policy was adopted yet; the next steps are review by the City Council and another Board meeting.
