Mandatory Training Attendance. All employees scheduled to attend mandatory department training shall attend at the scheduled time. Employees may be excused from attendance by their unit Lieutenant if any of the below conflicts exist. Any employee missing mandatory training will be rescheduled at the time their absence is excused. In the event that an employee cannot attend scheduled training, whether the training was directed by the department or requested by the employee, the employee shall first receive their supervisor’s approval to not attend. The only exception to this requirement is when exigent circumstances require an employee to respond to an in-progress incident during the scheduled training event. If illness or a personal emergency prevents an employee from attending scheduled training and the employee cannot reach their supervisor, the employee must notify the on duty supervisor at a minimum. An e-mail or department memo will be provided to the Professional Standards Section through the chain of command explaining the circumstances requiring an employee to be excused. • Court appearances • Approved leave • Other extenuating circumstances that could not be anticipated
