What happens to requests for transfers to non-biddable assignments?

Requests for transfers to non-biddable assignments are maintained by the Commanding Officer of the posting Section/Unit. This is correct because it reflects the operational protocol where the Commanding Officer is responsible for overseeing personnel management within their unit, including transfer requests that cannot be bid on through the regular bidding process. Keeping these requests on file allows for appropriate consideration for personnel movements as needs arise within the unit.

The other options suggest different methods of handling transfer requests that do not align with the specific procedures outlined in the Department of State Police Transfer Policy (ADM-27). For example, maintaining records at Human Resources may imply a centralized or generic approach that is not specific to individual units. Archiving requests implies they are no longer active or relevant, which contradicts the need for the Commanding Officer to have immediate access to transfer requests for decision-making. Finally, sending requests to the Department Head may complicate and centralize the process unnecessarily, removing the command unit's input in a situation where they are the most knowledgeable about their personnel needs.
