Editor's Note: Former §§ 38-15, Hours of employment; emergency hours; 38-16, Court duty; 38-17, Determination of emergency; and 38-18, Vacation allowance, as amended, which immediately followed this title, were deleted at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I). See now Part 2, Article XIII, Personnel Regulations and Procedures, of this chapter.
The Township Committee, if it shall deem it
necessary for reasons of economy, may decrease the number of members
and officers of the Police Department or their grades or ranks. In
case of demotion from the higher ranks, the officers or members to
be so demoted shall be in the inverse order of their appointment.
When the service of members or officers is terminated, such termination
shall be in the inverse order of their appointment. Any member or
officer who is demoted or whose service is terminated by reason of
such decrease shall be placed on a special employment list and, in
the case of subsequent promotions, a person so demoted shall be reinstated
to his original rank and in the case of termination of service and
new appointment, prior consideration shall be given to the persons
on said special employment list.
When any member or officer of the Police Department
is granted a leave of absence pursuant to this Part 1 or any state
law, the Township Committee may make a temporary appointment to the
position held by said person, and such temporary appointee shall not
be obliged to contribute to any pension fund, nor shall he acquire
any pension or tenure rights.
