It is the policy and one of the highest priorities
of this Department to provide equal employment opportunity to all
members and employees and applicants for employment without regard

applies to all terms and conditions of employment including, but not
limited to, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall,
transfer, leave of absence, compensation and training.

In furtherance of this policy, the Department expressly
prohibits any form of sexual harassment, which is a form of sexual
discrimination. Improper interference with the ability of members

It is the responsibility of each supervisor

the Department's policy of nondiscrimination to all subordinates,
to promptly investigate complaints and to take corrective action as
necessary. It is the responsibility of each member and employee to
respect the rights of co-workers.
