Professional positions involve work requiring knowledge in a field of science or learning that is characteristically acquired through education or training equivalent to a bachelor’s or higher degree with major study in a specialized field. Individuals must be able to exercise discretion in applying a scholarly body of knowledge to various subject matters. Technical positions are associated with the direct support of law enforcement, professional or administrative personnel.
