Every successful applicant to the position of patrol officer or to a promotional position within the Police Department shall serve a twelve-month probationary period commencing upon the swearing in of the officer. For newly hired police officers, the one-year probationary period shall not commence until after the officer has completed training under Act 120 and receives a certification number. During training and the probationary period, a newly hired officer may only be dismissed for cause for the reasons set forth in § 30-65. A promoted officer, during probation, may be returned to a prior rank only for cause for the reasons set forth in § 30-65. The Chief of Police shall report to Council at a minimum of every three months during the probationary period of any new officer or new promotion on the progress of that person in that position. However, at the end of the twelve-month probationary period, if the conduct of the probationer has not been satisfactory to the Borough of Catasauqua, the probationer shall be notified in writing that the appointment will not be permanent. At that time, a newly hired officer's employment shall end and a promoted officer shall return to a previous rank. Any officer who is not informed in writing that his performance has been unsatisfactory shall receive a permanent appointment to the new position. Any probationer who is notified in writing that appointment will not be made permanent has no rights of appeal under these rules and regulations.
