and (2) Sets forth a job description for each such title and position, including any special
qualifications or skills that are necessary for appointment to a particular title
or position. b. The catalogue prepared pursuant to subsection a. of this section, shall, as are
the lists of State and local employment titles and positions, be made available to
the public at designated locations. c. Except as provided in subsection d. of this section, whenever the superintendent
shall determine that the effective operation of the division, or one of its particular
duties or responsibilities, necessitates the establishment of a title or position,
either on a temporary or permanent basis, which is not set forth in the catalogue
prepared pursuant to subsection a. of this section, no appointment to that special
title or position shall be made until notice of that special title or position shall
be made readily available to enlisted members at division headquarters, each troop
headquarters and all other division facilities and adequate time is given to permit
interested and qualified enlisted members to apply. The notice shall include, but not be limited to, a description of the special title
or position and the special qualifications or skills that are necessary for appointment. The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to titles or positions on the
Superintendent's executive staff which involve managerial executive functions. For purposes of this section, “ managerial executive functions ” means the formulation of management policies and the direction of the effectuation
of such management policies on behalf of the Superintendent. d. This section shall not apply to titles or positions established on a temporary
basis in order to respond to an emergency situation in which immediate action is warranted
in order to provide for or maintain the public safety and to titles or positions where
public disclosure would jeopardize the safety of any person or jeopardize any investigation
in progress or be otherwise inappropriate based on a bona fide law enforcement purpose
or the public safety. e. The information set forth in the catalogue prepared or updated pursuant to subsection
a. and in any notices provided pursuant to subsection c. shall not be subject to collective
