Text

A member of the department who becomes
sheriff either by election or by appointment shall, upon the expiration
of the member's term as sheriff, and upon the member's written
application, be appointed by the board to the rank in the department
that the member held at the time of the member's election or
appointment as sheriff, if there is a vacancy in the department.
However, if the member during the member's tenure of office as sheriff
has qualified in accordance with the promotion procedure prescribed
by the board in its rules for a rank in the department that is higher than
the rank the member previously held, the board shall, upon the
expiration of the member's term as sheriff, appoint the member to the
rank for which the member has qualified under the promotion
procedure if there is a vacancy in that rank.
