The results are in for the fall testing cycle of annual civil service exams, and the El Dorado police and fire departments each wound up with a pool of four candidates that are eligible for hire.
Police Chief Billy White and Deputy Fire Chief Sean McCall reported that four candidates successfully completed all phases of testing to become eligible to hire for entry-level positions within each department.
The tests were conducted last week and included physical, written and oral components.
A total of eight candidates signed up for the police department exams, and four made it through all rounds of testing, White said.
