Filling of Patrol Assignments. All patrol shift assignments (including non-rotating consecutive days off) shall be posted annually between November 1 and November 15 for the following year. Members may submit their requests for shifts based on seniority during this period. A member who does not make his or her shift selection within twenty-four (24) hours of notification of his or her turn to select shall forfeit their right to select by seniority. Once a member has completed his or her initial probationary period, he or she shall be eligible to participate in the annual bidding for patrol assignments. Patrol shift assignments shall be made on the basis of seniority with the member having the highest seniority being given the first choice of a patrol shift assignment. Seniority will be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.2 through 14.6 of this Agreement. Should any patrol shift assignment vacancy occur during the year and prior to October 1, there shall be one interim bidding process for that opening resulting in one (1) schedule change for one (1) officer. The vacancy shall be posted for five (5) calendar days. The most senior member responding to the posting shall be given the assignment. Subsequent vacancies occurring from the initial interim bid shall be filled, at the discretion of the Chief, by assigning the least senior member. Prior approved leave and training conflicts impacted by the interim bid shall be decided in favor of the members that did not change schedules. The patrol shift assignment for a member assigned as a K-9 Officer shall be made at the discretion of the Chief; however, such schedule shall be set annually along the same timeline as Patrol shift bids, but such work hours can be changed to include normally scheduled hours and overtime hours to accommodate Department K-9 related duty needs.
