Fire Department may select to use an additional personnel or tactical scenario within their performance-based assessment center.

Second Review Process

Second Review Process

The purpose of the Second Review® is to address any significant scoring error. The Second Review® gives the candidate a role in this process by allowing the candidate to review his/her own performance within Assessment exercises along with their raw scores and request a Second Review by the assessors if he/she feels there was significant error in scoring. Assessors review the appeal and make a final decision on the score.

Inclusion of Seniority/Preference Points

The Fire Department may provide Morris & McDaniel with additional seniority and/or preference points to incorporate into the final list scores.
