COLONEL AND SUPERINTENDENT STATE POLICE
The Superintendent commands the Division of State Police and holds the uniformed rank of colonel. The Governor appoints, the Senate confirms, and the statute ties the appointment to the term of the Governor who made it, with removal only after charges and a hearing.
Nothing about the office is competitive in the civil service sense. The code sits on the Commission's list because Division positions are coded there, not because an examination was ever set for it.
