EMPLOYER SEARCHES. For the purpose of enforcing City or Department policies, directives, and work rules, the City reserves the right to search, with or without prior notice to the employee, all work areas and property in which the City maintains full or joint control with the employee, including, without limitation, City vehicles, desks, lockers, file cabinets, and bookshelves. These areas and property remain part of the workplace context even if the employee has placed personal items in them. Employees are cautioned against storing personal belongings in work areas and property under full or joint City control since such work areas may be subject to investigation or search under this article. Employer searches may occur when there is a reasonable suspicion that the employee has violated a City or Department policy, directive, or work rule and that the area or property to be searched may contain evidence of that violation. Searches will be conducted by persons having supervisory and/or other legal authority to conduct them. Searches will not normally occur without the concurrence of more than one supervisor. If the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Acts (Government Code sections 3300 et seq.) is applicable to a particular search, then the City will comply with the Act notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this article. Nothing in this article will prevent the City from taking appropriate action if there is inadvertent discovery of evidence of a policy, directive, or work rule violation.
