Compensation for Training Captain will be at the Training Officer rate as established in the CBA.
All conditions outlined in the Training Captain class spec including the minimum eligibility
requirements and the Uniform Day Personnel provisions remain in effect.
2. Years serving as the Training Captain will count towards the minimum years of service required in
the Battalion Chief class spec.
3. External candidates appointed to the Training Captain position will be not eligible to work 24-hour
shift or other operational positions without successfidly completing the Bozeman Fire Department
firefighter hiring process.

Captain during their service as Training Captain.

Captain rank and pay,if it is higher than the Training Captain,and remain as the Training Captain.
