Three uncertified candidates will not join the force.

Springfield's first Public Safety Director has been making moves.
In his first months on the job as Springfield's first director of the Public Safety Division, Richard Rosell has been very busy. Charged with overseeing Springfield's police and fire divisions and the office of emergency management, Rosell has to lead the departments and while figuring out his own job. "The instructions were very broad," Rosell said. "Not unclear, just broad. I was given a lot of latitude." He was given responsibility of two relatively troubled institutions.
