What is required for employees to submit a transfer application?

To submit a transfer application within the context of the Department of State Police Transfer Policy (ADM-27), employees must use a designated transfer application form. This requirement ensures that all applications are standardized, facilitating a clear and consistent process. By using a specific form, the department can more easily track requests, assess eligibility, and maintain accurate records of transfer activities. This formal documentation is essential for ensuring that all applications are considered fairly and objectively, and it helps streamline the transfer process for both employees and management.

The other options do not meet the requirements set forth by the policy. Informal email requests lack the necessary structure and formality to be processed effectively, while a meeting with a supervisor, although potentially helpful for discussion, does not constitute the official submission of a transfer application. Additionally, stating that no formal process is needed contradicts the emphasis on utilizing structured procedures for transfers.
