[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 17, Village
Code and Ordinances, Art. I)]
A. Chief
of Police shall furnish to the Village Manager weekly a schedule of
his on-duty hours during the succeeding week. In case it becomes necessary
to change such schedule, the Chief shall furnish the Village Manager
with a written schedule embodying such changes.
B. Hours
of duty of the Chief of Police in excess of an eight-hour day are
not to be considered as overtime to be returned to him in the form
of time off. He shall be on duty during such hours as are necessary
to enable him to properly supervise the work of the department to
the satisfaction of the Village Board and the Village Manager.
The manning of the Police Department shall be as determined
by the Village Board from time to time, subject to any requirements
of the Wisconsin Statutes and other provisions of this Municipal Code.
General rules of administration of the Police Department shall
be adopted by the Village Board and published in a manual suitable
for distribution to members of the department.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1548]
A. In the event that a police officer believes himself aggrieved by
a decision or order of a superior, he may obtain a review of such
decision or order by appealing to the officer above such superior
in authority. Such appeal shall be in writing and a copy shall be
provided to the officer from whose decision or order the appeal is
made. The officer to whom the appeal is made shall thereupon promptly
schedule a conference at a convenient time and place for the aggrieved
officer and his superior; providing, however, that either or both
may be present in person or by or with a representative of their own
choosing.
B. After the conference, the officer to whom the appeal is directed
shall make his decision in writing. If the aggrieved officer is not
satisfied with the decision on appeal, he may appeal further, in the
same manner, up to the Chief of Police, and thereafter to the Village
Manager. In each instance, the procedure shall be the same up to written
decision.
C. The Police Officer may appeal the decision of the Village Manager
to an arbitrator designated by the WERC for final and binding arbitration.
The Village and the association shall share any costs of such appeal.
The arbitrator shall have no power to change or abrogate any collective
bargaining agreement, any written rule of the Police Commission, or
any written rule or regulation established for the Police Department
by the Village Board.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 17, Village
Code and Ordinances, Art. I)]
D. Such procedure shall be used promptly upon the issuance of the decision
or order to which objection is made; provided, however, that if the
complained-of order or decision occurs when an offense is occurring
or threatened, or in the course of an investigation or arrest, or
when preemptive action is necessary or desirable, the particular decision
or order shall be respected and appeal therefrom made at such time
that jeopardy or hazard is not involved. It is not the intention of
this procedure to allow a review of stale orders or decisions issued
prior to the date of adoption of this article.
E. This grievance procedure is not applicable to any act or omission
for which disciplinary action is involved penalty imposed as discipline.
Any conduct related in any respect to discipline is solely and entirely
governed by the Chief of Police and the Police Commission pursuant
to the statute.
