3-406 - Relieving Member From Duty

Policy

A supervisor shall relieve a member from duty with pay when:

  • A member is involved in a serious or traumatic event such as a fatal accident or shooting.
  • A supervisor initiates a complaint involving potential disciplinary action in a serious matter.
  • When ordered to do so through the chain of command.

Prior to relieving a member from duty, the supervisor shall notify the member of the reason for the action. In serious incidents, the member's commander shall be notified immediately.

The supervisor shall also document the leave and forward copies of the memo to the member's Bureau Head, Commander or supervisor and MPD Human Resources.

Members relieved of duty for medical examination shall contact MPD Human Resources immediately or at 0800 on the following business day.

MPD Human Resources will complete an order requiring the member to see the MPD healthcare provider for medical evaluation. The letter will be signed by the Chief or a Bureau Head.
