The NSCC website lists corporals on their staff contact page. It lists Officers, Corporals, Sergeants, one Lieutenant and a Chief
Which means nothing. Corporals are probably senior CPO I's. Again here's an AFSCME school that doesn't even mention MGL Ch 73/s.18 or 15A/s.22
GHEY!!!!
ARE THEY ARMED YET!?!?!?!? Wadda you think!?!?
:p

To clarify, CPO I's are Patrolman, CPO II's are Corporal's and CPO III's are Sergeants at North Shore. They did a reclassification back in 2006 or 2007, The Lt's job was always classified as a staff associate or assistant. I know this because I was a former officer there at the time when it all happened.

That's interesting, every state college seems to do it differently then. Greenfield Community College had a lieutenant who was a CPO III before he retired last year. Springfield Tech Community college has two sergeants who are CPO II's, and two lieutenants who are non-unit staff assistants.
