Mr. Hubert. Who was the city manager who appointed you?
Mr. Curry. Elgin Crull, I believe he was at the time I was appointed. He was when I was appointed chief of police, because I recall—I don't recall exactly who was city manager at the time I was appointed assistant chief. I believe Chuck Ford, I believe, was.
Mr. Hubert. Of course, as you said, the assistant chief of police and the chief of police, are non-civil service?
Mr. Curry. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Do you still maintain civil service status in the event of a reduction?
Mr. Curry. In a reduction?
Mr. Hubert. Yes.
Mr. Curry. In rank; you are supposed to return to the rank where you were when appointed.
Mr. Hubert. Now, you, of course, as chief of police, have under you a number of assistant and deputy chiefs of police and then captains of the various divisions and so forth. Who made those appointments?
Mr. Curry. They are under civil service except for the assistant chief and the deputy chiefs and I make those appointments.
