the process of the Career Service Panel. He suggested that

part of management. This mechanism would provide these
members with some visibility as to how the CSP operates.
This need cannot be satisfied by bringing in Deputy Chiefs
to the Panel.

able to voice the concerns of the employees and be
their spokesmen.
