The Director of the Department of Public Safety
is hereby authorized to issue and promulgate a "Manual of the Bureau
of Police Rules and Regulations," as more particularly set forth herein
and which Manual is made a part hereof as though fully set forth at
this point. This Manual, upon adoption, shall regulate the administration
of the Bureau of Police; provided, however, that the Director of the
Department of Public Safety is authorized, in his discretion, to vary
the terms of the regulations herein contained should, in his judgment,
the same be necessary; and further provided that notice of changes
shall be made by posting the same on a bulletin board provided for
all police.
[Amended by Ord. Nos. 19-1979; 18-1990]
A. Police officers shall be paid an amount of $25 at
any court appearances required during the off-duty hours of said police
officers.
B. This section shall be retroactive to December 1, 1977.
[Amended by Ord. No. 9-1980]
A. If, for any reasons of economy or lack of funds, it
becomes necessary for the City to reduce the number of employees of
its Bureau of Police, then the City shall follow the following procedure:
(1) If there are any employees in the Bureau of Police
who have reached the age of 65 and are eligible for retirement under
the terms of the Police Pension Fund of the City, then such reduction in number shall be made
by retirement on pension of all the oldest in age.
(2) If the number of employees in the Bureau of Police
who have reached the age of 65 and are eligible for retirement under
the terms of the police pension fund of the City is insufficient to
effect the reduction in number desired by the City, then the reduction
shall be effective by suspending the last person or persons, starting
with probationers that have been appointed. Such removal shall be
accomplished by suspending in numerical order, commencing with the
last person appointed, all recent appointees until such reduction
has been accomplished.
B. Whenever the number of employees in the Bureau of
Police shall be again increased in number, or if any vacancies may
occur, the employees suspended under the terms of this section shall
be reinstated to their former class before any new appointees are
appointed, in the reverse order of which they were suspended.
