An officer’s well-being and general fitness encompasses a large part of liability; both to the officer and to the department in general. All officers must pass regular annual physical fitness tests as required. An officer found medically and physically unfit for duty after an examination by a qualified physician shall be given a period of six weeks in order to make himself physically fit for active duty pending a physician’s approval. Upon failure to render himself physically fit for duty the department may terminate the officer for not being able to fulfill the requirements set forth. Back to the Home Page
