Serpas' hiring and promotion procedures have been
ignoring standard Civil Service practices.
Superintendent Ronal Serpas and the Landrieu Administration did not recommend $147,000 the Civil Service Department requested for sergeant exams
in this year's budget. That budget item has gone unfunded for the last
several years. During budget talks in November, personnel administrator
Lisa Hudson told City Council that the department has not performed
promotional exams for sergeants since 2007. As a result, sergeant and
captain registers have expired and the NOPD has made at-will
appointments, FOP attorney Donovan Livaccari said today.
NOPD, as we all know,
is a very efficient city agency.
