An officer in permanent rank may appeal his or her performance evaluation if the evaluation contains factual errors, is based on the evaluation rater's misinterpretation of instructions, is based on bias or prejudice, or if it is based on other facts or circumstances not properly the subject of evaluation. See Administrative Guide Procedure No. 303-20.

It is important that if your evaluation does not properly reflect your performance, that you appeal the evaluation. A negative evaluation can limit an officer's ability to receive discretionary benefits, including but not limited to promotions, discretionary assignments, extra compensation opportunities, off-duty employment and scholarships. Negative evaluations may also be used as a basis to impose discipline.
