Preliminary Determination of Reasonable Suspicion of Substance Abuse. 1. An order to undergo a test pursuant to this agreement shall be based on preliminary and final determinations of reasonable suspicion of substance abuse by designated supervisors. A supervisor shall base his or her preliminary determination on facts regarding the conduct, behavior, demeanor and statements of the employee observed by that supervisor or reliably and speedily reported to him or her. This preliminary determination shall be followed by a final determination by a second supervisor who must confirm the preliminary determination in order for testing to be ordered. 2. Designated supervisors shall be the Department Head, Deputy Department Head and any supervisor acting in the capacity of the Department Head or Deputy Department Head. The City shall provide training for such designated supervisors, but the lack of such training of a particular supervisor shall not prevent his or her determination of reasonable suspicion of substance abuse, unless the lack of training is shown to have undermined the reliability of the determination.
