• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 2
• D. 4

Answer: (C)

Two years of continuous full-time service as a Law Enforcement Sergeant is the eligibility requirement to enter the Law Enforcement Lieutenant examination under Article 32 Sec 10. This amount of time ensures you’ve gained solid supervisory experience and a clear, practical sense of patrol operations, personnel management, and policy enforcement before stepping into the higher responsibilities of a lieutenant. Continuous full-time means you’re actively serving in that sworn rank without breaks that would reset the counted time; part-time status, long leaves, or non-sworn roles typically don’t count toward the requirement. The rule sets two years as the minimum, even if someone has more experience, so two years is the threshold the exam uses for eligibility. Focus on maintaining uninterrupted, full-time sergeant service if pursuing the lieutenant exam.
