A. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S. 33:2541 or any other provision of law to the contrary, the position of assistant chief of police of Harahan is in the unclassified service. The right of selection, appointment, supervision, and discharge for the position is vested in the chief of police of the city.

The assistant chief of police shall serve indefinitely in the position and shall be evaluated every three years by the chief of police.
After each evaluation by the chief of police, the chief may reconfirm the assistant chief for another three-year period, or may, at his discretion, demote the assistant chief to his former class of position.
