unless the employee is bypassing an obsolete rank and currently fills the rank immediately
below the rank that has been declared obsolete, or has filled the rank immediately below
that to which the employee is promoted; but as to any noncommissioned rank which
contains less than twenty-five police employees, the Superintendent may by rule direct
that it is unnecessary to fill such rank for purposes of promotion. Promotion to any
noncommissioned rank shall be made in the manner prescribed by rule. Promotion to any
commissioned rank, except deputy superintendent, shall be made from among those
