(A)
The Chief of Police or his/her designee may place an employee on a departmental Administrative Leave whenever they are involved in a traumatic incident that may involve a life-threatening situation, serious injury or death, or under circumstances where an employee’s conduct justifies an immediate release from duty.
While on Administrative Leave, employees shall be available for investigative needs and to participate in an Employee Assistance Program or Peer Support Team session.
Note: MPD Administrative Leaves are not the same as City Administrative Leaves. Supervisors should contact MPD Payroll personnel for any questions.
