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.

any written rule or regulation established for the Police Department
by the Village Board.

Code and Ordinances, Art. I)]

Such procedure shall be used promptly upon the issuance of the decision
or order to which objection is made; provided, however, that if the

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
