CIVIL SERVICE/FIRE & POL: Provides relative to provisional appointments in the classified service

Summary

The law lets local fire, police and jail agencies temporarily fill entry‑level classified jobs—such as new firefighters, police officers, jailers, secretaries to the chief, records clerks, and radio/alarm system operators—by making a provisional appointment. Each appointment can last no longer than about three months, and the same position cannot be filled repeatedly with provisional hires. This gives agencies flexibility to cover vacancies while preserving permanent hiring processes.
