Special Skills. a. The Department will seek intoximeter operator volunteers for assignment onto each of the shifts with priority given to the evening and midnight shifts. If there are no intoximeter operator volunteers from within the district, the Department will search countywide for an intoximeter operator volunteer for the available shift hours. If a volunteer from another district is found and based upon bona fide operational need as reasonably determined by the Employer, a shortage is not created within the officer’s originating district, that officer will be permanently assigned to the district that is in need of an intoximeter operator. In the event that no volunteers that meet the above criteria from other districts come forward, the operator(s) will be selected by inverse seniority from the station personnel list. The Department will use its best efforts to assign an officer from the shift on which an intoximeter operator was involuntarily transferred onto, to the next intoximeter training school for which vacancies exist. Once this officer is trained and certified, the officer who was involuntarily transferred will be transferred back to his/her shift.
