Those applicants who, after passing the written or oral examinations,
are notified by the Borough Council to be examined by a doctor must
be examined upon such request by a medical doctor selected by the
Borough.
No medical examinations shall be scheduled less than 12 days
nor more than 21 days from the date fixed in the public notice for
a written examination.
The Commission shall furnish each medical examiner with forms
upon which he shall state the bodily and mental condition of each
applicant. The statement of each examination shall be submitted to
the Commission within five days after the date of examination.
If the medical examiner shall deem any applicant medically unfit
for performance of the duties of a police officer because of any bodily
or mental defect, whether or not the defect shall be specifically
stated as a cause for rejection in the statement of medical requirements,
such applicant shall be rejected, and a brief statement of the reasons
for rejection shall be entered in the report of his medical examination.
Insofar as practicable, however, the medical examiner shall determine
the medical fitness of an applicant by adhering to the statement of
medical requirements.
Each applicant eligible for certification to the Borough Council
for appointment to any position in the Police Department shall be
instructed by the Secretary, before being certified, to inform the
Commission of any illness or injuries requiring the attendance of
a physician or requiring hospitalization and of any surgical operations
that shall have occurred after the original medical examination. If,
in the judgment of the Commission, there shall have been any change
in the medical fitness of any applicant, whether or not such change
shall have been reported by the applicant, the Commission may require
the applicant to submit to a further medical examination before his
name shall be certified for appointment. Any such further medical
examination shall be performed at the expense of the Borough by a
regularly appointed medical examiner.
The Commission shall, from time to time, appoint one or more
medical examiners to make all medical examinations required by these
rules.
