Required Stay After Additional Training. If a member receives training outside the Division of Police, that member shall be required to remain in an assignment for which the training is applicable, for eighteen (18) months after completion of the training. This eighteen (18) month requirement is only applicable if the training costs exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000.00). The two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) cost would only include the tuition, course fees, travel expenses and per diem. This eighteen (18) month requirement also applies to members who receive specialized training paid for by the Federal government that is offered rarely and is of more than thirty (30) hours of actual instruction (for example, DEA Commanders School and FBI Forensic Schools). If, in the course of the eighteen (18) month requirement, unforeseen circumstances arise, the member may request a transfer from the Chief of Police from the particular assignment for which the member received the training, and a request for such transfer will not be unreasonably denied.
