No informal discipline is a necessary prerequisite to any other disciplinary action, formal or informal.
General Disciplinary Provisions. A Departmental Hearing shall be held prior to the imposition of any suspension, removal and reduction in pay or rank, provided the City shall always retain the right to relieve a member with pay pending such hearing. A member has the right to waive a Departmental hearing. At any time when an inquiry concerning a member occurs wherein discipline may result the member shall be immediately notified that such a result is possible. For members testing positive for drug or alcohol use under Article 34, the City may withhold the imposition of discipline conditioned upon successful completion, at the member's expense, of a program approved by the City. The member may use any available health benefits to pay for the program.
