Disciplinary Time Limits. Once an Employee is officially notified by the Department of an investigation against him/her, the Department will have sixty (60) calendar days to serve charges or initiate disciplinary action. Once charges have been served, Management shall have thirty (30) calendar days to convene a hearing and, upon conclusion of the hearing, five (5) working days to issue the findings to the Employee. The Chief of Police or Acting Chief will be the hearing officer involving all predisciplinary hearings. If the time limit expires and formal charges are not filed, or no disciplinary action is imposed, or, the Employee has not had a Departmental Hearing, no disciplinary action will be taken. Time limits can be extended by mutual agreement of the Lodge and Management. If criminal charges have been filed against an Employee, the time limit will not be in effect until all criminal proceedings are complete.
