Council records removals of multiple entry-level police candidates for no-shows and nonresponse

The Danbury Civil Service Commission accepted a memo from Chief Examiner Neli Espinal dated July 27, 2026, requesting removal of multiple entry-level police officer candidates who failed to respond or did not appear for interviews. The removals affect the list promulgated April 29, 2026.

Commissioner Larry Fallon read the candidate endings cited in the memo and moved to accept the removals; Chair Susan Ward seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The memo lists specific candidate number endings (recorded in the meeting transcript) and states removal is for lack of response or no show for interview. Commission records will reflect the removals; applicants may contact the civil service office with questions.

The action is administrative: removing candidates from the eligibility pool for procedural reasons rather than as a result of substantive disqualifying findings noted in other, candidate-specific memos.
