Progressive Action. For charges other than insubordination, the principles of progressive corrective action shall be followed for conduct not in violation of law. If the offenses are of a critical nature, the Chief of Police may determine that a different sequence is required. However, the charge of insubordination will only be used when no other charge is applicable to that conduct. The progression shall at least include documented constructive counseling before a written reprimand, a written reprimand before a suspension, and a suspension before a dismissal for the same or related offenses. In reaching a penalty determination, the nature and severity of the misconduct and the member's work record shall be taken into consideration. The culpable mental state of the member shall also be taken into consideration. Misconduct that occurs through inadvertence or negligence may mitigate the severity of the penalty that may be imposed, while misconduct that occurs as a result of deliberate intention may indicate that a more severe penalty, up to the maximum penalty, may be imposed.

Loss of seven (7), eight (8), nine (9) or ten (10) hours, whichever applies to the affected member, of accrued vacation leave or compensatory time shall be the equivalent of a one (1) day suspension. The reduction of accrued vacation hours or compensatory time, in lieu of a loss of work hours, shall constitute a suspension for the purpose of considering prior disciplinary action. This provision only applies for suspensions of up to and including fourteen (14) days. Only accrued vacation leave or compensatory time can be used in lieu of suspension. Determination of whether a member's suspension is to be accomplished through loss of work hours or loss of accrued vacation leave or compensatory time shall be by mutual agreement between the Sheriff and the affected member.
