44 <br />Special Consideration <br /> <br />1. Canine officers will be included in the program. One canine officer must be assigned to each <br />watch, when practical. Due to the limited number of officers assigned to this special <br />assignment and the need for handler and canine experience, movement among watches is <br />mandatory and canine officers may not stay on the same watch for longer than one year. <br />Failure to show movement will be grounds for the Chief of Police to deny one or more of those <br />officers’ watch preferences and for the Chief of Police to make the watch assignments. <br /> <br /> <br />2. When transfers occur from a special assignment, the individual transferred will be placed on a <br />shift based on shifts available to include those occupied by probationary employees. <br /> <br />3. In cases when sergeants and officers make their shift selection during times when they are not <br />scheduled to work they will not be compensated for that time. <br /> <br />Page 366 of 908
