The Civil Service Commission shall have the power to make investigations concerning all matters touching the administration and enforcement of the approved regulations.  They shall have the power to issue subpoenas to require the attendance of witnesses and production of records.

All recommendations made by the Civil Service Commission for police employment eligibility, promotion, or discipline/dismissal are forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for their final decision.
