Special Skills a. So long as the Sixth District shares a radio channel with the Germantown district, involuntary assignments onto a non-rotating day and evening shift will not be made based upon an officer’s intoximeter skill.

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.

If a volunteer from another district is found, that officer will be permanently assigned to the district. The vacant position that is created from the resulting transfer will be filled by the trans- fer, from the district, of an officer on the basis of inverse seniority. In the event that no volunteers 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 midnight shift to the next breathalyzer training school from which vacancies exist. Once this officer is trained and certified, the officer involuntarily transferred to the midnight shift will be transferred back to his/her shift at the end of the fiscal year quarter following the quarter in which the training occurred.
