No member of the Police Department shall have an excused absence
from duty for any time unless authorized by the Chief or, in his absence,
the next ranking officer of the Police Department on duty.
If a member is unable to report for duty or continue on duty
due to illness or injury, he shall immediately report his disability
to the Chief or, in his absence, the ranking officer of the Police
Department on duty so that he can be excused and arrangements can
be made for a substitute. Such member shall follow the procedure prescribed
by the Personnel Ordinance.[1]
The Chief or a member of the Police Committee may order a member
to submit to a medical examination at any time it seems necessary
or desirable.
