 ARTICLE 1— PREAMBLE
This Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Chicago, an Illinois municipal
corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Employer") and the Fraternal Order of Police, Chicago
Lodge No. 7 (hereinafter referred to as the "Lodge").
It is the purpose of this Agreement and it is the intent of the parties hereto to establish and
promote mutual harmonious understanding and relationships between the Employer and the
Lodge, to promote departmental efficiency and effectiveness, to establish wages, hours,
standards and other terms and conditions of employment for Officers covered by this Agreement,
and to provide for the equitable and peaceful adjustment and resolution of differences which may
arise from time to time over the negotiations, interpretation and application of this Agreement.
In consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties
hereto, by their duly authorized representative and/or agents, do mutually covenant and agree as
follows:
ARTICLE 2 — RECOGNITION
The Employer recognizes the Lodge as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining representative
for all sworn Police Officers below the rank of sergeant (herein referred to as "Officer") excluding
probationary officers employed by the Employer in its Department of Police, provided said
probationary period shall not extend beyond an eighteen (18) month period.
The normal probationary period shall consist of eighteen (18) months of actual presence during
active duty. Consequently, time absent from duty or not served, for any reason, shall not apply
toward satisfaction of the probationary period, except as provided in Appendix P. During the
probationary period, an officer is not entitled to any rights, privileges or benefits under this
Agreement, except as provided in Appendix P.
Officers covered by the Agreement who have completed their probationary period as defined in
Article 2 of the Agreement and thereafter commence disability or approved leaves of absence but

rights and benefits provided for in the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to invoke
the provisions of Article 9 of the Agreement.

B. Any present Officer who is not a member of the Lodge shall, as a condition of employment, be
required to pay fair share (not to exceed the amount of Lodge dues) of the cost of the collective
bargaining process and contract administration. All Officers hired on or after the effective date

L. If an Officer provides a statement during the investigation conducted promptly following a
shooting incident and then is later interrogated by the Employer, IPRA or IAD as part of an
investigation related to such incident, the Officer shall be provide with a copy of the portion of
any official report that purportedly summarizes his or her prior statement before the
interrogation.
M. If, prior to taking an Officer’s statement, the Employer, IPRA or IAD is in possession of
video or audio evidence relevant to the matter under investigation, it may, in its
discretion, elect to advise or not to advise the Officer of such fact and, further, may allow
or not allow the Officer an opportunity to review the video or audio evidence prior to
taking the Officer’s statement. An Officer who is not allowed to review the video or audio
evidence prior to giving a statement shall not be charged with a Rule 14 violation unless
the Officer has been presented with the video or audio evidence and given the opportunity
to clarify and amend the Officer’s original statement. In any event, the Employer shall
not charge an Officer with a Rule 14 violation unless it has determined that: (1) the
Officer willfully made a false statement; and (2) the false statement was made about a fact
that was material to the incident under investigation.

 N. When the Department relieves an Officer of police powers, except in instances involving
confidential investigations, the Department shall be required to give that Officer written

asked by the designated primary interviewer. Unless both parties agree, no more than two
members of IPRA or IAD will be present in the interview room during questioning. A
secondary interviewer may participate in the interview, provided that the secondary
interviewer shall be present for the entire interview. The secondary interviewer will not
ask any questions until the primary interviewer has finished asking questions and invites
the secondary interviewer to ask questions. Generally, the secondary interviewer will ask
follow-up questions for clarification purposes. The primary interviewer will not ask any
questions until the secondary interviewer has finished asking questions and invites the
primary interviewer to ask follow-up questions.
D. The Officer will be provided with a copy of any and all statements he or she has made that are
audio recorded or in writing within seventy-two (72) hours of the time the statement was made.
In the event a re-interview of an Officer is required within the seventy-two (72) hour period
following the initial interview, the Officer will be provided with a copy of such statements
before the subsequent interview.

Officer on leave to work for the Lodge or a retired Officer working for the Lodge. For
purposes of this paragraph E, "represented" shall mean that the Officer's counsel and/or
representative shall only advise the Officer but shall not in any way interfere with the
interview. The interview shall be postponed for a reasonable time, but in no case more than
forty-eight (48) hours from the time the Officer is informed of the request for an interview
and the general subject matter thereof and his or her counsel or representative can be present .
Interviews in shooting cases may be postponed for no more than two hours; provided,
6

 however, that if a witness Officer advances a claim that he or she is physically or
emotionally unable to provide a statement within the two hour time period, then IPRA
will deal with such claims on an individual basis, making a reasonable inquiry into the
reasons for the Officer’s claim, and accepting at face value all good faith claims of an
Officer’s inability to provide a statement.
F.

This Section 6.2 shall not apply to: questions from a supervisor in the course of performing his
or her normal day-to-day supervisory duties or to requests to prepare detailed reports or ToFrom-Subject Reports, except To-From-Subject Reports that relate to the police-related
shooting.

G. The length of interviews will be reasonable, with reasonable interruptions permitted for
personal necessities, meals, telephone calls and rest.
H. The provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize the Employer, IPRA and IAD
to require Officers being interviewed to provide audio recorded statements, provided that the
provision in Section 6.2 are satisfied.
I. If an Officer provides a statement during the investigation conducted promptly following a
shooting incident and then is later interviewed by the Employer, IPRA or IAD as part of an
investigation related to such incident, the Officer shall be provided with a copy of the portion
of any official report that purportedly summarizes his or her prior statement before the
interview.
J.

If, prior to taking an Officer’s statement, the Employer, IPRA or IAD is in possession of
video or audio evidence relevant to the matter under investigation, it may, in its
discretion, elect to advise or not to advise the Officer of such fact and, further, may allow
or not allow the Officer an opportunity to review the video or audio evidence prior to
taking the Officer’s statement. An Officer who is not allowed to review the video or audio
evidence prior to giving a statement shall not be charged with a Rule 14 violation unless
the Officer has been presented with the video or audio evidence and given the opportunity
to clarify and amend the Officer’s original statement. In any event, the Employer shall
not charge an Officer with a Rule 14 violation unless it has determined that: (1) the
Officer willfully made a false statement; and (2) the false statement was made about a fact
that was material to the incident under investigation.

Section 6.3 — Non-Adoption of Ordinance
The City of Chicago shall not adopt any ordinance and the Department shall not adopt any
regulation which prohibits the right of an Officer to bring suit arising out of his or her duties as an
Officer.
Section 6.4 — Photo Dissemination
No photo of an Officer under investigation shall be made available to the media prior to a
conviction for a criminal offense or prior to a decision being rendered by the Police Board, except
where required by law.
Section 6.5 — Compulsion of Testimony
The Department shall not compel an Officer under investigation to speak or testify before, or to be
questioned by any nongovernmental agency relating to any matter or issue under investigation.
Section 6.6 —Auto-Residency Card.
No Officer shall be required to submit the information now required in an Auto-Residency Card as it
7

 applies to any other member of his or her family or household.
Section 6.7 — Polygraph
No Officer shall be disciplined for refusal to take a polygraph exam and the results of the polygraph
exam shall not be admissible as evidence in proceedings before the Police Board or in any
proceeding where the Officer may appeal to the Police Board, unless by Illinois or Federal Court
decision or statute, such evidence shall become admissible before the Police Board.
In the event that the results of a polygraph exam become admissible as evidence before the Police
Board and the Department determines a polygraph exam is necessary, the complainant will be
requested to take a polygraph exam first. If the complainant refuses to take a polygraph exam, the
accused police Officer will not be requested to take a polygraph exam. If the complainant takes the
polygraph exam and the results indicate deception, the accused Officer may be requested to take a
polygraph exam covering those issues wherein the examiner determines that the complainant is
truthful.
When the polygraph is used, the accused member will be advised twenty-four (24) hours prior to the
administering of the test, in writing, of any questions to which the Department will request an
answer.
Section 6.8 — Disclosure
An Officer shall not be required to disclose any item of his or her property, income, assets, source
of income, debts, or personal or domestic expenditures (including those of any member of his or her
family or household) unless such information is reasonably necessary to monitor the performance of
the Officer's job, violations of reasonable Employer rules, statutes, ordinances, or this Agreement.
In the administration of fringe benefits applicable to all employees of the Employer, Officers
covered by this Agreement may be required to disclose any coverage they (including any member
of their families or households) may have under health or medical insurance and the name and
appropriate identification of the carrier and coverage. The parties agree that the disclosure of such
personal information shall not be made available for public inspection or copying because such
would be an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of the Officer, and/or is intended to
otherwise be exempt from any state or local freedom of information statute, ordinance or executive
order.
Section 6.9 — Media Information Restrictions
The identity of an Officer under investigation shall not be made available to the media unless there
has been a criminal conviction or a decision has been rendered by the Police Board (or by the
Superintendent), except where required by law. However, if the Officer is found innocent, the
Officer may request and the Department shall issue a public statement.
Section 6.10 — Prohibition on Use and Disclosure of Social Security Numbers
The Social Security Number of an Officer covered by this Agreement shall not be disclosed and
shall not be included on documents, except those essential for payroll or compensation purposes.
Section 6.11 — Mediation
At any time during an investigation, the parties may agree to mediate the resolution of the
Complaint Register investigation. The "parties" shall mean the accused Officer, with or without
his or her Lodge representative, and a representative of IAD or IPRA, as appropriate. The
IAD/IPRA investigator assigned to the case will not be present at the mediation.
8

 Prior to the mediation session, IAD/IPRA shall cause the accused Officer to be served with a Notice
of Administrative Rights and a Notice of Charges and Allegations, which will include the rule
violation and the factual basis therefore. Neither party is required to meet.
The representatives at the meeting shall discuss the allegations and IAD's/IPRA's position regarding
the finding of the case. The parties shall discuss whether they can reach accord as to a disposition.
By accepting the discipline, the accused Officer is waiving his or her right to grieve or appeal the
decision, and the accused Officer is not required to submit any statement or response. If the accused
Officer does not agree with IAD's/IPRA's position, the disciplinary process will continue as
designated.
Statements made and information relayed at the mediation which are not included in the file will not
be used against the Officer or included in the file at any later date.
If IAD/IPRA and the accused Officer agree on a penalty less than separation, it is binding on both
parties. However, the Superintendent retains the right to seek the separation of an Officer.
Section 6.12 — Review Procedures
The procedures for the review of recommendations for discipline, such as Command Channel
Review, and the procedures by which Officers covered by the Agreement may challenge the
recommendation and imposition of discipline which currently exist will continue to exist and be
available to said Officers except as expressly modified or eliminated as set forth in the
Agreement.
ARTICLE 7 — SUMMARY PUNISHMENT
Section 7.1 —Administration of Summary Punishment
It is agreed that the provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to Summary
Punishment action, which action shall be considered as an alternative to formal disciplinary
procedures, provided that in each such action the following shall apply:
A.

The Summary Punishment which may be administered conforms to the "Notice to Supervisors
Regarding Progressive Discipline," as set forth in this Agreement, and is limited to:
1.

reprimand;

2.

excusing a member for a minimum of one day to a maximum of three
days without pay.

In all instances, the Summary Punishment shall be satisfied by deducting the equivalent
of day(s) off without pay from the Officer’s accumulated compensatory time or, at the
Officer’s sole discretion, by deducting the equivalent of day(s) off without pay from the
Officer’s furlough, personal days, or baby furlough days. In all instances, eight hours of
accumulated elective time, including compensatory time, furlough, personal days, and
baby furlough days, shall be equal to one day off without pay. If the Officer does not
have sufficient accumulated compensatory time, then the days off shall be satisfied by
means of days off without pay, unless the Officer elects to use his furlough, personal
days, or baby furlough days.
B.

The Department shall promulgate, maintain and publicize reasonable guidelines which will
specify those acts, omissions or transgressions, the violation of which will subject an Officer
to Summary Punishment action, and the penalties for each such violation, which shall be
uniformly applied.
9

 Section 7.2 — Challenge of Summary Punishment
After Summary Punishment has been administered three (3) times within a twelve (12) month
period, an Officer who wishes to contest the application of Summary Punishment on a fourth
occasion within the last twelve (12) months may contest the fourth and/or succeeding applications
of Summary Punishment by timely challenge through the Complaint Register process or the
grievance procedure.
ARTICLE 8 — EMPLOYEE SECURITY
Section 8.1 — Just Cause Standard
No Officer covered by this Agreement shall be suspended, relieved from duty or otherwise
disciplined in any manner without just cause.
Section 8.2 — File Inspection
The Employer's personnel files, disciplinary history files and completed inactive investigative files,
except for information which the Employer deems to be confidential, shall be open and available for
inspection by the affected Officer during regular business hours.
Section 8.3 — Limitation on Use of File Material
It is agreed that any material and/or matter not available for inspection, such as provided in Section
8.2 above, shall not be used in any manner or any forum adverse to the Officer's interests.
Section 8.4 — Use and Destruction of File Material
All disciplinary investigation files, disciplinary history card entries, IPRA and IAD disciplinary
records, and any other disciplinary record or summary of such record other than records related to
Police Board cases, will be destroyed five (5) years after the date of the incident or the date upon
which the violation is discovered, whichever is longer, except that not sustained files alleging
criminal conduct or excessive force shall be retained for a period of seven (7) years after the date of
the incident or the date upon which the violation is discovered, whichever is longer, and thereafter,
cannot be used against the Officer in any future proceedings in any other forum, except as specified
below, unless the investigation relates to a matter which has been subject to either civil or criminal
court litigation or arbitration prior to the expiration of the five- (5-) year period. In such instances,
the Complaint Register case files normally will be destroyed immediately after the date of the final
arbitration award or the final court adjudication, unless a pattern of sustained infractions exists.
Any information of an adverse employment nature which may be contained in any unfounded,
exonerated, or otherwise not sustained file, shall not be used against the Officer in any future
proceedings. Information contained in files alleging excessive force or criminal conduct which are
not sustained may be used in future disciplinary proceedings to determine credibility and notice.
A finding of "Sustained — Violation Noted, No Disciplinary Action" entered upon a member's
disciplinary record or any record of Summary Punishment may be used for a period of time not to
exceed one (1) year and shall thereafter be removed from the Officer's disciplinary record and not
used to support or as evidence of adverse employment action. The Department's finding of
"Sustained — Violation Noted, No Disciplinary Action" is not subject to the grievance procedure.
Reprimands and suspensions of one (1) to five (5) days will stay on the Officer’s disciplinary
history for a period of three (3) years from the last date of suspension or date of reprimand, or
five (5) years from the date of the incident, whichever is earlier.
10

 Information relating to a preventable traffic accident involving a Department Vehicle may be used
and/or considered in determining future discipline for a period of time not to exceed two (2) years
from the date of such preventable traffic accident and shall thereafter not be used and/or considered
in any employment action provided there is no intervening preventable traffic accident involving a
Department Vehicle and if there is, the two-year period shall continue to run from the date of the
most recent preventable traffic accident and any prior incidents may be used and/or considered in
employment actions. In no event shall any prior incident five (5) or more years old be used and/or
considered.
Section 8.5 — Notification
In the event the Employer receives subpoena or other legal process requiring the inspection, tender
or submission of personnel, disciplinary or investigative records and/or files (other than Grand Jury
subpoena or other subpoena or process which would preclude disclosure), the Employer will
promptly send a copy of such subpoena or process to the Officer whose records have been
requested and to the Lodge. However, failure to furnish such notice shall not in any way affect the
validity of any disciplinary action or personnel action taken by the Employer, provided that the
Lodge will not be barred from asserting and does not waive any right(s) an Officer may have to
inspect or to otherwise challenge the use of files under applicable rules, statutes or this Agreement
including Article 8.
Section 8.6 — Detectives, Evidence Technicians, Police Laboratory Technicians, Forensic
Investigators and Field Training Officers
The Employer agrees not to remove Officers in the position of Detective except for just cause.

eliminated from the budget.
Section 8.7 — Tactical Response Reports (TRR)
The number of Tactical Response Reports (TRR), in and of itself, will not be used for disciplinary
purposes.
Section 8.8 — Superintendent's Authority
The Superintendent's authority to suspend an Officer, as set forth in section 2-84030 of the
Municipal Code of Chicago, shall be increased from the current limit not to exceed thirty (30) days,
to a limit not to exceed three hundred and sixty-five (365) days.
In cases where the Superintendent seeks an Officer's separation from the Department, the
Superintendent's current and past practice of suspending Officers for thirty (30) days and filing
charges with the Police Board seeking the Officer's separation will not change.
ARTICLE 9 — GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 9.1 — Definition and Scope
A grievance is defined as a dispute or difference between the parties to this Agreement concerning
interpretation and/or application of this Agreement or its provisions. Summary Punishment shall be
excluded from this procedure, except as provided in Article 7.2. The separation of an Officer from
service is cognizable only before the Police Board and shall not be cognizable under this procedure,
provided, however, that the provisions of Article 17 shall be applicable to separations.

 Section 9.2 — Procedures, Steps and Time Limits for Standard Grievances
A grievance may be initiated by the Lodge or an aggrieved Officer. Any Officer shall have the right
to present a grievance at any time, although it is understood that the Officer should attempt to
satisfy his or her concerns on an informal basis before invoking the procedure. In the event an
informal resolution proves to be unsatisfactory, a grievance may be filed in a form to be agreed
upon between the Lodge and Employer and shall be processed in accordance with this Agreement.
Upon request, the grievant shall be represented by an appropriate Lodge representative, provided,
however, the grievant Officer may have the grievance adjusted without a Lodge representative, so
long as such adjustment is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
Step One: Initiating a Grievance. The grievant will first submit his or her grievance in writing to
his or her immediate supervisor in his or her unit of assignment within seven (7) of the Officer's
working days following the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance or where first
known by the grievant, or thirty-five (35) days, whichever period is shorter. The grievance will be
reduced to writing on a pre-printed, standard grievance form set agreed upon between the Lodge
and Employer.
Step Two: Supervisory Responses. Within seven (7) days of receipt of the member's grievance, the
supervisor will respond to the grievance on the grievance form set and then immediately present
the grievance form set to the Commanding Officer of the unit of assignment. Following the
submission of the written grievance, the Commanding Officer shall render a decision in writing
within fourteen (14) days of receiving the grievance. The response shall be written on the bottom
portion of the pre-printed, standard grievance form set. The Commanding Officer must forward
one (1) copy of his or her decision to the grievant, one (1) copy to the Lodge's unit representative,
and three (3) copies to Management and Labor Affairs Section (MLAS). MLAS will then forward
to the Lodge a copy of the Commanding Officer's decision within fourteen (14) days of its receipt.
If the grievant is directed by the Employer to meet concerning his or her grievance at a time when
the Officer is not scheduled to work, he or she shall be compensated for such time at the applicable
rate provided for in this Agreement, including the provisions of Article 20.
Step Three: Mediation. If the response at Step Two is not satisfactory to the grievant and th e
Lodge, the Lodge and MLAS will meet for the purpose of mediation of the grievance. Either
party may request the presence of a Mediator at such meeting, the selection of whom shall be
mutually agreed upon. The mediation meeting shall be conducted no less than once each month
between the Lodge Grievance Chairman, Lodge President or his or her designee and a
Department representative having authority to resolve the grievance. The parties shall split
evenly the cost of the Mediator's expenses and fees.
Step Four: Arbitration. If the parties cannot resolve the grievance at Step Three, either party may at
any time demand arbitration.
Section 9.3 — Arbitration of Standard Grievances
If either party proceeds to arbitration, the following procedure shall apply:
A. Within ten (10) days, the Employer and the Lodge shall attempt to mutually agree upon an
Arbitrator. If they fail to agree, a list of seven (7) qualified neutrals shall be requested from the
American Arbitration Association. Within five (5) days after receipt of the list, the parties shall
select an Arbitrator. Both the Employer and Lodge each shall alternately strike names from the
list. The remaining person shall be the Arbitrator.
B. The Employer or the Lodge, by mutual agreement, may submit a grievance involving an issue
not otherwise covered under Section 9.6 of this Agreement to expedited arbitration
12

 pursuant to the rules set forth in Appendix M or under rules to be determined by the parties
by mutual agreement.
C. The parties shall avoid continuances. Requests for continuances are disfavored and shall be
granted only upon showing good cause.
Section 9.4 — Psychological Review
Grievances concerning involuntary removal from active duty due to psychological or psychiatric
reasons will comply with the following procedures:
Step One: An Officer who wants to challenge the Employer's decision to place him or her
involuntarily on the medical roll will file a grievance with the Medical Services Section within ten
(10) calendar days of being placed on the medical roll, or if the member was on full authorized
furlough during his or her involuntary placement, within thirty-five (35) calendar days of being
placed on the medical roll.
If the Employer's psychiatrist/psychologist recommends that the Officer is fit for full duty and
also was fit when he or she was involuntarily placed on the medical roll due to psychological or
psychiatric reasons, the Officer shall have any paid medical time used during such period of being
involuntarily placed on the medical roll restored and will be made whole for lost pay and other
benefits to which he or she is entitled.
Step Two: For a member who has filed a timely grievance at Step One, and/or when the
Employer's psychiatrist/psychologist recommends that the Officer is unfit for full duty and was
also unfit when he or she was involuntarily placed on the medical roll due to psychological or
psychiatric reasons, then upon written request made by the Lodge within ten (10) calendar days of
notice to the member that he or she is unfit for duty, the Lodge may file a grievance at Step Two
and may request review of that decision by a three-member psychological review panel (“Panel”).
The Officer shall, as promptly as feasible, be evaluated by a panel of three psychiatrists or
psychologists, one appointed by the Lodge, one appointed by the Employer and a third appointed
by mutual agreement of the Employer's and the Lodge's psychiatrist or psychologist
knowledgeable about police duties. This Panel shall have the authority to examine and evaluate the
Officer, and recommend whether or not the Officer is fit for duty. In making its recommendations,
the primary considerations of the Panel shall be the protection and safety of, and need for effective
service to, the public. These considerations shall prevail over all others in any case of conflict of
interests between the Officer and the Employer.
If the Panel recommends that the Officer is fit for duty, and was also fit when he or she was placed
involuntarily on the medical roll due to psychological or psychiatric reasons, then the Officer shall
have any paid medical time used during such involuntary period on the medical roll restored, and
will be made whole for lost pay and other benefits to which he or she is entitled.
If the Panel determines that the member was unfit for duty at the time he or she was involuntarily
placed on the medical roll, but became fit for duty sometime thereafter, the Panel shall identify the
point at which the member was fit for duty and the member will be made whole for lost pay and
benefits from the date that the panel determined he or she was fit for duty.
Each party shall bear the full cost of the Panel member appointed by it, with the cost of the
mutually-appointed Panel member to be split equally between the parties. The recommendations of
the Panel shall be binding upon the Employer, the Lodge and the Officer.
The Lodge and the Employer acknowledge that procedural disputes which prevent the Panel from
going forward with the review process set forth above may arise. The Lodge and the Employer
acknowledge that it is in the best interests of all persons involved in the Psychological Review
13

 process to have these procedural disputes resolved as promptly and as fairly as possible. Once such
a procedural dispute arises, the parties will have seven (7) working days to resolve the dispute. If
they cannot resolve the dispute, either party may initiate the Summary Arbitration Process if the
dispute involves the timeliness of the grievance or the period of time which the Panel is to consider
when determining when the Officer became fit. Any other procedural dispute may be submitted to
the Summary Arbitration process only by mutual agreement of the parties. The Lodge and the
Employer will maintain a group of three (3) arbitrators for the Summary Arbitration Process. One
arbitrator will be selected from this group to decide the dispute. The parties will share equally the
cost of the arbitrator. At the earliest possible time, representatives of the Lodge and the Employer
will appear before the arbitrator. Either party may call witnesses, provided notice is given to the
other party before the hearing date is selected. No written briefs will be permitted. No court reporter
will be allowed. The arbitrator will issue a decision within ten (10) working days following the
hearing. The decision of the arbitrator will be binding on the Lodge, the Employer, and the
members of the review Panel. The decision will not set a binding precedent on subsequent
procedural disputes.
Section 9.5 — Medical Grievances

Grievances concerning medical issues (excluding issues covered under Section 9.4) shall follow
the procedure below. Medical issues are defined as grievances involving medical issues, including
but not limited to the nonpayment of I.O.D. bills; removal of an Officer from duty for medical
reasons; refusal to return an Officer to duty from medical roll; classification of an injury as nonI.O.D. and the Benefits Management Office's denial of payment of medical and hospital bills of an
Officer or his or her covered dependent under the Employer's self-funded health care plan.
Step One: Initiating a Medical Grievance. Grievances concerning the Benefits Management Office's
denial of payment of medical and hospital bills will be filed with the Management and Labor
Affairs Section within ten (10) working days following the events or circumstances giving rise to
the grievance or where first known by the grievant, but in no event later than thirty-five (35)
calendar days following the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance.
All other grievances concerning medical issues will be filed with the Medical Services Section
within ten (10) working days following the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance or
where first known by the grievant, but in no event later than thirty-five (35) calendar days
following the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance. If the determination at Step
One is not satisfactory, the Lodge may by written request made within fifteen (15) days of the
Step One response, or the expiration of the period for said response submit the matter for
mediation.
Step Two: Mediation of Medical Grievances. At mediation, representatives of the Lodge, the Police
Department, the Benefits Management Office and the Finance Committee of the City Council, shall
participate, as needed. Any settlements reached in the mediation proceedings shall be binding upon
the parties. Medical mediation sessions shall occur each thirty (30) days. The parties shall split
evenly the cost of the Mediator's fees and expenses.
The grievant shall be provided with the relevant medical records within the possession of the
Medical Section, the Committee on Finance, Benefits Management Office and Management &
Labor Affairs Section. A release shall be required for production of medical records. The relevant
medical records shall include the Medical Services Section's determination of the grievant's status
and the response to the grievance. The above records shall be submitted to the Lodge by the
Department within forty-five (45) days of the Department's receipt of the Lodge's releases and
mediation agenda, setting forth the grievants' names. Relevant records from the Medical Section,
14

 the Committee on Finance, the Benefits Management Office and Management and Labor Affairs
Section shall be provided as stated above and throughout the grievance process until the grievance
is fully resolved.
Relevant documents to be produced by the Benefits Management Office in mediation are limited
to medical records, claim forms, medical bills, explanation of benefits, and recommendation to
and decision of the Benefits Committee regarding the claim. This definition of relevant records
to be produced by the Benefits Management Office does not preclude the Lodge from
subpoenaing additional relevant documentation in response to the scheduling of an arbitration of
a grievance.
Step Three: Arbitration. If the grievance is not resolved at Step Two, the Lodge upon written
request within thirty (30) days of the date of mediation, may demand arbitration. The Mediator shall
not be selected as the Arbitrator for the same case. The arbitration hearing shall be scheduled to
commence within thirty (30) days of the selection of the Arbitrator unless the parties agree
otherwise. Within ten (10) days of the Lodge's demand for arbitration, the Employer and Lodge
shall attempt to mutually agree upon an Arbitrator. If they fail to agree, a list of seven qualified
neutrals shall be requested from the American Arbitration Association. Within five (5) days after
receipt of the list, the parties shall select an Arbitrator. Both the Employer and the Lodge shall
alternately strike names from the list. The remaining person shall be the Arbitrator.
Section 9.6 — Suspension Grievances
Grievances challenging reprimands and recommendations for suspension (excluding Summary
Punishment except as specified in Section 7.2 and suspensions accompanied by a recommendation
for separation) will comply with the following procedures:
A. Reprimands and Suspensions from One (1) to Ten (10) Days
Officers who receive a reprimand or a recommendation for suspension from one (1) to
ten (10) days as a result of a sustained Complaint Register investigation (CR#) shall
have one of two (2) options. Within ten (10) working days of receiving the reprimand
or recommendation for discipline, the Officer shall elect one of the following options:
1.

Submission of a grievance to the Summary Opinion process challenging the
reprimand or recommendation for discipline. An Arbitrator designated by the
parties shall issue a Summary Opinion, in accordance with the standard
procedures employed by the parties and their mutual past practices, which shall
be final and binding on the parties and there shall be no further review of the
reprimand or suspension under this Agreement. The Officer will not be
required to serve the recommended suspension, nor will the reprimand or
suspension be entered on the Officer’s disciplinary record, until the Summary
Opinion Arbitrator rules on the merits of the grievance. At least ten (10) days
prior to the Summary Opinion hearing, the Officer, or the Lodge acting on his
or her behalf, may submit a written statement of no more than three (3) pages
in length, setting forth the position of the Officer and the reasons why the
Officer believes the reprimand should be set aside or the suspension should be
set aside or reduced, to which the Department may submit a rebuttal of not
more than two (2) pages. In addition, the Officer, provided he or she previously
submitted the written statement referenced in the preceding paragraph, may
appear in person before the Summary Opinion Arbitrator and make an oral
15

 presentation, of no more than fifteen (15) minutes in length, setting forth the
reasons why the suspension should be set aside or reduced. The Department
representative, in turn, shall have the option of presenting an oral rebuttal. For
good cause shown, either party may be granted leave by the Summary Opinion
Arbitrator to submit a written rebuttal within ten (10) days.
2.

Accept the recommendation.

In the event the Officer does not make an election within ten (10) working days, the
recommendation for suspension will be deemed accepted, absent a written agreement
between the Lodge and the Department to extend the election period.
B. Suspensions from Eleven (11) to Thirty (30) Days
Officers who receive a recommendation for discipline from eleven (11) to thirty (30) days as a
result of a sustained Complaint Register investigation (CR#) shall have one of three options,
the selection of which shall preclude the Officer, or the Lodge acting on his or her behalf,
from selecting any of the other options listed below, except that the Officer is permitted
to accept the recommendation at any time. Within ten (10) working days of receiving the
recommendation for discipline the Officer shall elect one of the following options:
1. The filing of a grievance challenging the recommendation for discipline; or
2. Submission of a grievance to, and in accordance with the provisions of, the
Summary Opinion process set forth in Paragraph A(1) above; or
3. Accept the recommendation.
In the event an Officer does not make an election within ten (10) working days, the
recommendation for suspension will be deemed accepted, absent a written agreement between
the Lodge and the Department to extend the election period.
When an Officer elects to file a grievance, the Lodge will have sixty (60) days from receipt of
the investigative file to inform the Department whether the Lodge will advance the grievance to
arbitration, and if so, whether the grievance will be advanced to arbitration, unless the parties
mutually agree otherwise.
In the event the Lodge decides not to advance the grievance to arbitration, the Officer will have
ten (10) working days to elect review of the recommendation for suspension by the Police
Board as set forth in the Police Board’s Rules of Procedure, Article IV, Section B,
paragraphs 3 through 9 (published November 1, 1975). In the event the Officer elects
review of the recommendation for suspension by the Police Board, the Officer will not be
required to serve the recommended suspension, nor will the suspension be entered on the
Officer’s disciplinary record, until the Police Board rules on the merits of the
recommended suspension.
Arbitration of suspension grievances pursuant to this Paragraph B shall be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of Appendix Q.
C. Suspensions from Thirty-One (31) to Three Hundred Sixty-Five (365) Days
Officers who receive a recommendation for discipline from thirty-one (31) to three hundred
sixty-five (365) days as a result of a sustained CR# shall have one of three options, the
selection of which shall preclude the Officer, or the Lodge acting on his or her behalf,
from selecting any of the other options listed below, except that the Officer is permitted
16

 to accept the recommendation at any time. Within ten (10) working days of receiving the
recommendation for discipline the Officer(s) shall elect one of the following options:
1.

A review by the Police Board as set forth in the Police Board's Rules of Procedure, Article
I, II and III (published November 1, 1975); or

2.

The filing of a grievance challenging the recommendation for discipline; or

3.

Accept the recommended discipline.

In the event an Officer does not make an election within ten (10) working days, the
recommendation for suspension will be reviewed by the Police Board.
When an Officer files a grievance, the Lodge will have sixty (60) days from the receipt of the
investigative file to inform the Department whether the Lodge will advance the grievance to
arbitration. Arbitration of suspension grievances pursuant to this Paragraph C shall be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of Appendix Q. The parties will cooperate in
the scheduling of all arbitration hearings.
In the event the Lodge decides not to advance the grievance to arbitration, the Officer will have
ten (10) working days to elect review of the recommendation for suspension by the Police
Board as set forth in paragraphs 9.6.C.1 above. In the event the Officer elects review of the
recommendation for suspension by the Police Board, the Officer will not be required to
serve the recommended suspension, nor will the suspension be entered on the Officer’s
disciplinary record, until the Police Board rules on the merits of the recommended
suspension.
In the event an Officer does not make an election within ten (10) working days, the
recommendation for suspension will be deemed accepted, absent a written agreement
between the Lodge and the Department to extend the election period.
D. When an Officer exercises his or her right to contest a disciplinary recommendation,
whether by filing a grievance or electing review by the Police Board, Complaint Register
files shall be provided to the Lodge promptly upon written request.
Section 9.7 —Authority of the Arbitrator
A. Except as specified in Subsection C below, the Arbitrator shall have no right to amend,
modify, nullify, disregard, add to, or subtract from the provisions of this Agreement. The
Arbitrator shall only consider and make a decision with respect to the specific issue or issues
presented to the Arbitrator and shall have no authority to make a decision on any other issues
not so submitted. The Arbitrator shall submit in writing his or her decision to the Employer
and to the Lodge within thirty (30) days following the close of hearing unless the parties agree
to an extension thereof. The decision shall be based upon the Arbitrator's interpretation of the
meaning or application of the terms of this Agreement to the facts of the grievance presented,
and shall be final and binding upon the parties.
B. In the case of a sustained finding that is subject to the parties' grievance procedure, the
Arbitrator has the authority to review whether IPRA or IAD made a good faith effort to secure
an affidavit from the complainant and whether the affidavit of the head of IPRA or IAD was
based upon objective evidence of the type specified in Appendix L, in addition to the issues of
just cause and the appropriateness of the penalty in determining whether to grant the grievance.
C. Any Officer who is a member of and adheres to the established and traditional
tenets or teachings of a bona fide religion, body or sect which has historically held
conscientious objections to financially supporting organizations such as the Lodge, upon proof
17

 thereof, may be excused from the obligations set forth in Section 3.1 Article 3; and the
Arbitrator may require, in lieu of such obligations, the payment by such Officer of a sum equal
to the fair share agency fee to a non-religious charitable fund exempt from taxation under
Section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 chosen by such Officer from a list of at least three such funds to
be submitted by the Lodge. The Employer shall not participate in but shall be bound by such an
arbitration.
If an Officer who holds conscientious objections pursuant to this section requests the Lodge
to use the grievance-arbitration procedure on the Officer's behalf, the Lodge may charge the
Officer the reasonable costs of using the procedure.
Section 9.8 — Expense of the Arbitrator
The fee and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the party whose position is not sustained
by the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator in the event of a decision not wholly sustaining the position of
either party, shall determine the appropriate allocation of his or her fees and expenses. Each party
shall be responsible for compensating its own representative(s) and witness(es). The cost of a
transcript, where requested by either party, shall be paid by the party so requesting it.
The party requesting a cancellation, rescheduling or other postponement of a set hearing date shall
pay the Arbitrator's cancellation fee.
Section 9.9 — Processing and Time Limits
The resolution of a grievance satisfactory to the Lodge at any step shall be deemed a final
settlement, and any grievance not initiated or taken to the next step within the time limit specified
herein will be considered settled on the basis of the last answer by management. The time limits
specified in this Article may be extended or waived by mutual agreement. Grievances may be
initiated at any appropriate step corresponding with the nature of the grievance and the manner in
which it arose.
Section 9.10 — Normal Operation
Grievance meetings shall be scheduled at reasonable times and in a manner which does not
unreasonably interfere with the Employer's operations. Reasonable duty time shall be allowed the
grievant Officer(s) and the watch representative or unit representative under this Article, for the prearbitral steps under Section 9.2.
Section 9.11 — Exhaustion
It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the procedures set forth in this Article shall be
mandatory as to any grievance unless expressly and specifically excluded by the terms of this
Agreement.
Section 9.12 – Lodge Rights
This Agreement does not create or convey to any member of the bargaining unit a right to
determine whether any grievance shall be advanced to arbitration. The right to evaluate any
grievance and determine whether that grievance is withdrawn, settled or advanced to any
form of arbitration remains solely the right of the Lodge. In the event the Lodge determines it
will not advance any grievance(s) to arbitration, the Officer(s) who filed the grievance(s) will
be afforded the existing procedures for the review and/or challenge of reprimands or
recommendations of discipline, to the extent provided for herein.
18

Section 10.1 — Equal Employment Opportunity
The Employer will continue to provide equal employment opportunity for all Officers, and develop
and apply equal employment practices.
Section 10.2 — Non-Discrimination
In the application of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Employer shall not
discriminate against Officers, and employment-related decisions will be based on qualifications
and predicted performance in a given position without regard to race, color, sex, religion, age
(40-63), sexual orientation or national origin of the Officer nor shall the Employer discriminate
against Officers as a result of membership in the Lodge. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to preclude the mandatory retirement of any Officer upon or after the attainment
of age 63. Officers shall not be transferred, assigned or reassigned for reasons prohibited by this
Section 10.2.
Section 10.3 — Political Activity or Campaigning
The Employer shall not prohibit an Officer from, or discriminate against, his or her engaging in
political activities or campaigning while off duty, provided that the Officer does not:
A.

wear a uniform or any part thereof which would identify the individual as a police officer, or
use property (including documents or records) of the Chicago Police Department:

B.

display or otherwise lead others to believe he or she is carrying a badge, baton or gun;

C.

hold himself/herself out as a police officer, except that a truthful response to a legitimate
question shall not be a violation of this section;

D.

engage in such activities in a District(s) where he or she is assigned unless the Officer lives in
the District except that the Employer shall not transfer an Officer into a District for the
purpose of preventing him from engaging in such activities.

An Officer who runs for political office may, but need not, take a leave of absence; provided that if
the Officer does not choose to take a leave of absence, he or she shall first fully exhaust all
accumulated paid time off and any time off thereafter shall be subject to meeting the operational
needs of the Chicago Police Department.
Section 10.4 — Religious Holiday Accommodation
The obligation to accommodate the religious beliefs of Officers covered by the Agreement is
fulfilled if those Officers whose religious beliefs require that they not work but who are
scheduled to work on a recognized religious holiday are permitted at the Officer's option one of
the following choices in order to be excused from their regular tour of duty: (a) the use of a
personal day; (b) the use of compensatory time; (c) voluntary change of regular day off (as
permitted in Section 20.3 of the Agreement); or (d) excused from duty non-disciplinary (Code
89). This option may be applied for certain recognized religious holidays of faiths w hose tenets
require abstinence from work subject to the determination of the Commanding Officer that this
accommodation does not unduly interfere with operational needs.
Section 10.5 —Americans with Disabilities Act
In the event the Employer shall be required to make reasonable accommodation under the
Americans with Disabilities Act to the disability of an applicant or incumbent Officer that may
19

 be in conflict with the right of an Officer under this Agreement, the Employer shall bring this
matter to the attention of the Lodge. In the event the parties cannot reach an agreement on such
accommodation, the provisions of Article 9 shall be available and the Arbitrator shall consider
the Employer's and the Lodge's (if any exists) obligations under the Americans with Disabilities
Act and this Agreement, provided that no Officer shall be displaced by such decision.

process, the Employer will provide the Lodge with copies of any department level directives
announcing an appointment and selection process, if any are issued, prior to the time the process is
initiated. The Employer will provide the Lodge with the names of Officers appointed to those
positions. At the Lodge's request, the Employer will provide the Lodge with material regarding the

Section 13.1 — Notice of Layoffs
When there is an impending layoff with respect to any Officers in the bargaining unit, the Employer
shall inform the Lodge in writing no later than thirty (30) days prior to such layoff. The Employer

essential to the operation of the Department, the parties shall meet to resolve such issue. If a
mutual resolution is not reached, the Employer may invoke the grievance procedure.
Section 13.3 — Recall
Any Officer who has been laid off shall be placed on the appropriate reinstatement list and shall be
recalled on the basis of seniority in the Police Department, as provided in this Agreement prior to
any new officers being hired.

Section 15.1 — Cooperation
The Employer and the Lodge agree to cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably possible to promote
the use of safe equipment and facilities.
Section 15.2 — Safety Committee
Up to a maximum of five (5) Officers designated by the Lodge and five (5) persons designated by
the Employer shall comprise a Safety Committee for the purpose of discussing and investigating
safety and health issues relating to Officers and to recommend reasonable safety and health criteria
relating to equipment and facilities. The Committee shall meet at least once each calendar quarter or
more frequently by mutual agreement. Formal recommendations of the Committee shall be
submitted in writing to the Superintendent of Police with a copy to the Lodge, but such
recommendations shall not be binding upon the Employer or the Lodge. In addition to Committee
recommendations, the Lodge may submit additional written recommendations to the
22

 Superintendent.
For purposes of this section, the term "investigating" shall be limited to the right of the Lodge
Committee members to obtain information upon request and observe conditions regarding
identified safety and health hazards and to discuss such matters with Officers and members of
management provided such discussions do not unduly interfere with the performance of duty by
any Officer or Committee member.
In the event the Employer agrees in writing to adopt the recommendation of the Committee or the
Lodge, the recommendation shall be implemented within a reasonable period of time, unless the
failure to implement in a timely fashion was beyond the reasonable control of the Employer.
However, no monetary relief shall result from the failure to implement any such recommendation.
If the Superintendent disagrees with the recommendation of the Committee or the Lodge, he or she
shall so notify the Committee or the Lodge in writing. Within ten (10) calendar days of such notice,
the Lodge may request arbitration of any such dispute if such dispute raises a good faith issue
regarding the use of equipment or materials which are alleged to present a serious risk to the health or
safety of an Officer beyond that which is inherent in the normal performance of police duties. The
decision of the Arbitrator under this section shall be advisory only and shall not be binding upon the
Employer; provided that this procedure shall not be exclusive and shall not affect the right of an
Officer or the Lodge to invoke Article 9, where otherwise appropriate. No such advisory opinion shall
constitute a determination of the existence of any safety or health hazard under this Agreement, nor
shall any such advisory opinion be introduced in any proceeding under Article 9 of this Agreement.
Section 15.3 — Disabling Defects
No employee shall be required to use any equipment that has been designated by both the Lodge
and the Employer as being defective because of a disabling condition unless the disabling condition
has been corrected. When an assigned department vehicle is found to have a disabling defect or is in
violation of the law, the police Officer will notify his or her supervisor, complete required reports,
and follow the supervisor's direction relative to requesting repair, replacement or the continued
operation of said vehicle.
Section 15.4 — Notice
The Employer shall post in conspicuous places where notices to Officers are customarily posted, all
safety and health notices required by law.
ARTICLE 16 — SECONDARY EMPLOYMENT AND SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT
Section 16.1 — Secondary Employment
The Employer reserves the right to restrict secondary employment when it has reasonable cause to
believe that the number of hours which the Officer spends on secondary employment is adversely
affecting his or her performance as a police officer. The Employer retains the existing right to limit,
restrict or prohibit the nature or type of secondary employment that an Officer undertakes.

2.

An Officer will be suspended from working a special employment assignment for
a period of thirty (30) calendar days if the Officer was scheduled for a special
employment assignment and failed to work such assignment without reasonable
cause for such absence acceptable to the Employer (e.g., a death in the family, an
injury on duty or a change in the Officer's regular duty schedule).

3.

An Officer will be suspended from working a special employment assignment for a period
of ninety (90) calendar days if the Officer was scheduled for a special employment

Any Officer absent from work on account of injury on duty (I.O.D.) for any period of time not
exceeding twelve (12) months shall receive for each such I.O.D. full pay and benefits for the period

medical records and reports from legally-qualified practitioners of the healing arts acting within the
scope of his or her license, including, but not limited to, chiropractors, in its determination of
whether an Officer is fit to return to duty.
If the Employer requires and specifies certain additional medical tests to be performed and passed
as a condition of the Officer's return and said tests were not, and are not normally, performed in the
normal course of appropriate medical treatment for the illness or injury involved, then the Employer

determination of the Officer's claim.
The Employer agrees to pay all hospital, medical and prescription costs of an Officer who is on a
leave of absence for duty or occupational disability purposes, all at no cost to the employee. The
Employer shall make pension contributions on behalf of the employee as if the employee had
remained in active service.
Section 18.10 — Medical Benefit Statement
Upon the written request of an Officer who is injured or becomes ill in the performance of his or her
duties, the Employer will provide a written statement showing the period of absence and the amount
27

 of salary received during the period of absence due to such injury or illness. Upon the written request
of an Officer on a leave of absence for ordinary, occupational or duty disability pension, the
Employer will provide a statement covering the period of absence prior to retirement and the amount

The Employer's right to assign Officers for duty at any time and at different times during each
twenty-eight (28)-day police period remains unrestricted and unchallenged. Watch assignments and
designated starting times shall be established and posted for each police period. Watch assignments
and designated starting times shall remain in effect for the duration of the twenty-eight (28)-day
police period, except for:
A.

in-service training (including individualized training) with a maximum of six
(6) programs per year for a maximum of eighteen (18) days per year and with seven (7) days'

circumstances not known to the Department 48 hours prior to the start of the police period. Provided
that where an Officer who has been scheduled to attend in-service training and does not attend
because of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Employer, the Employer may
reschedule said Officer for said in-service training without payment of premium time hereunder.
Any adjustment inconsistent with the above provision, made after the start of the twenty-eight (28)-day
police period, will result in payment in accordance with Section 20.2 for the hours worked outside of
the Officer's tour of duty scheduled at the beginning of the Officer's twenty-eight (28)-day police
period for that period. Shift changes during a police period made voluntarily at the request of an Officer
and upon approval of the Employer shall not require additional compensation.

This Section does not apply in the following situations:

Section 20.8 — Stand-By
Where the Employer requires an Officer to remain on standby, available for work, and the Officer
is not able to come and go as he or she pleases, such time shall be paid as time worked.
Section 20.9 — Day-Off Change
Days off assigned on "change day" shall remain unchanged for the duration of each 28-day police
period except for:
A.

in-service training (including individualized training) with a maximum of seven (7) programs
per year for a maximum of twenty-eight (28) days per year and with seven (7) days' notice to

D.

The Employer's right to assign Officers for duty while on regular day-off status is unrestricted and
unchallenged. The Employer agrees, however, that in each such event it will pay the Officer so
assigned the optional premium time under Article 20 of the Agreement. No such optional premium
31

 time shall be paid, however, for Officers assigned to School Patrol Unit for any change occurring
during any police period which includes the start of the school year, or the end of the school year
nor shall any such optional premium time be paid for in-service training program, with a maximum
of three programs per year, for a maximum of nine days per year, provided the Officer is given
seven (7) days' notice of such change, and pre-service training for promotion, provided, that where
an Officer who has been scheduled to attend in-service training does not attend for any reason
beyond the reasonable control of the Employer, the Employer may reschedule said Officer for said
in-service training without payment of premium time hereunder.
Day off changes made voluntarily at the request of an Officer, and upon approval of the Employer,
shall not require premium pay pursuant to Section 20.3. Changes required to implement the
provisions of Section 23.2 controlling scheduled days off for members of the bargaining unit going
on or returning from furlough, also shall not require premium compensation.
The Lodge acknowledges that willingness to restrict summer furlough and days off on Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays and accept varied days off each week are conditions of assignment among
Mounted Patrol Unit Officers covered by the collective bargaining agreement.
The mounted unit is a recognized exception to this Section, and a change of regular day-off status
for personnel assigned to the mounted unit may be made on a day other than "change day" without
payment of premium time under Article 20 of the Agreement, provided that affected personnel shall
receive at least ten (10) days' notice of such change.
Those Officers assigned to events known as the Taste of Chicago, Mexican Independence Festival
and Puerto Rican Independence Festival shall not have their day-off group changed for the purpose
of avoiding the payment of overtime pay. In the event that days off must be canceled to supplement
the personnel assigned to said events, the opportunity to earn overtime pay will first be offered to
the Officers assigned to said events. If there are not sufficient volunteers, said overtime pay
opportunities will be offered to Officers who are in regular day-off status in the District where the
event occurs. In the event the City permits an event known as Octoberfest, said event shall be added
to the three above listed events.
Section 20.10 — Day-Off Group Assignment
In the event the Employer determines to change an Officer's day-off group assignment, the
Employer shall seek volunteers to satisfy its needs; provided, however, (1) if there are more
volunteers than required, the volunteers with the greatest seniority on the watch in the day-off group
affected shall be changed, and (2) if there are not sufficient volunteers, the Officers with the lowest
seniority on the watch in the day-off group affected shall be changed; provided further, said
Officers meet the Employer's needs.
Section 20.11 — Accumulation of Compensatory Time
The Employer will not restrict an accumulation of compensatory time except as provided in Section
20.2. The number of hours of compensatory time which an Officer has on record shall not be the
controlling factor in determining whether an Officer will be allowed to take time due.
Section 20.12 — Back to Back Shifts on Change Day
An Officer shall normally not be required to work more than four hours on the first watch on
change day if he or she has worked a full tour of duty on the third watch on the proceeding day. If
he or she is required to work more than four hours on a change day on the first watch, he or she
shall be paid at the rate of time-and-one-half for the hours worked on the first watch on change day.
32

factor in the selection of Officers required to work their regular days off, provided that the
Officer to be selected possesses the necessary skill or special qualifications to perform the duties
required. The Employer shall seek volunteers on the basis of seniority from among those
qualified Officers in said unit. If there are insufficient qualified volunteers, the Employer shall
select Officers on the basis of reverse seniority, provided that the Employer may assign
probationary officers without regard to seniority.
The Employer will post a notice of such events in the CO book and Officers desiring to exercise
the option to work will notify their unit commanding officer within seven days of the date the notice
was posted.
For the purpose of pre-planned overtime assignments, a unit may be defined as a bureau, division,
district, watch, tactical team, etc.
For duty on election or primary days, seniority will be the dominant factor in the selection of
Officers required to work their regular day off in the polling place. Those Officers who work
overtime will be compensated in accordance with Sections 20.1 and 20.2. For purposes of this
paragraph, Officers in tactical teams on their regular day off shall be treated the same as other
Officers on the same watch in the same district, subject to operational needs.
For purposes of this paragraph, the Employer will select Officers to work a four- (4) hour extended
tour of duty on election or primary days on the basis of seniority from among those qualified Officers

provided that the holiday is not an Officer's regular day off or a part of an Officer's approved
furlough extension and that the Officer possesses the necessary skill or special qualifications to
perform the duties required. When operational considerations require limitations on the
number of Officers who may be given the holiday as a day off, the most senior Officer(s) will
be given the option to take the holiday as a day off, provided the request is submitted seven (7)
days before the holiday.
For the purpose of holiday assignments, a unit may be defined as bureau, division, section, group,

A vacancy for purposes of this Section ("recognized vacancy") exists when an Officer is
transferred, resigns, retires, dies, is discharged, when there are new units created, or when the
Department increases the number of employees in a unit, except for details for not more than three
(3) months and the Summer Lakefront Bike Detail. The Employer shall determine at any time
before said vacancy is filled whether or not a recognized vacancy shall be filled. If and when the
Employer determines to fill a recognized vacancy, this Section shall apply.
In order to avoid the inefficiency of chain-effect bidding, the vacancy created by the reassignment
of a successful bidder shall be a recognized vacancy herein; however, subsequent vacancies created
thereby shall be filled within the Department's discretion. Further, there is no recognized vacancy
created as a result of emergencies, or when an Officer is removed for disciplinary reasons for up to
30 days. When an Officer is removed for disciplinary reasons for more than 30 days, a recognized
vacancy is created.
The Employer shall post a list of recognized vacancies, if any, stating the requirements needed to
fill the opening, at least 14 days before the start of the 28-day police period. A copy of such
postings shall be given to the Lodge. Non-probationary Officers within the same D-1 salary grade
or D-2 job classification, within 72 hours of the time the list has been posted, may bid on a
recognized vacancy in writing on a form to be supplied by the Employer. One copy of the bid
shall be presented to the Employer; one copy shall be forwarded to the Lodge; and one copy shall
be retained by the Officer. Bidding under this Section 23.8 may only be for a recognized vacancy
in a specific unit without regard to shift, day off, unit duty assignments, etc. The Employer shall
37

 respond to the successful bidder and the Lodge no later than 3 days prior to the change day for the
new 28-day police period. During the bidding and selection process, the Employer may
temporarily fill a recognized vacancy by assigning an Officer to said vacancy until the recognized
vacancy is filled.
An eligible bidder shall be an Officer who is able to perform in the recognized vacancy to the
satisfaction of the Employer after orientation without further training. The Employer shall select
the most senior qualified bidder when the qualifications of the Officers involved are equal. In
determining qualifications, the Employer shall not be arbitrary or capricious, but shall consider
training, education, experience, skills, ability, demeanor and performance, except that the parties
recognize that the unique operational needs of the Employer require flexibility in the delivery of
public service and to meet this need the Employer may fill 20% of the recognized vacancies
within its discretion, provided that, if the Employer does not utilize any or all of its 20%
exception in any personnel order, the remainder of the unused exception may be carried forward
and used to fill future recognized vacancies within a twelve (12)-month period.
An exception to the above paragraph will apply to Airport Law Enforcement North and South, and
the Traffic Section/ Detail Unit, fifty percent (50%) of all recognized vacancies in each of these
units shall be filled by bid.
Bidding procedures will be done in conformance with the Memorandum of Understanding in this
Agreement. The successful bidder may not bid for another recognized vacancy for one (1) year
unless reassigned by the Employer during that year. A successful bidder may not be reassigned
except for (1) emergencies for the duration of the emergency, (2) for just cause or (3) where the
Superintendent determines that the Officer's continued assignment would interfere with the
Officer's effectiveness in that assignment. When there are no qualified bidders, the Employer may
fill the recognized vacancy within its discretion.
Section 23.9 — Filling Unit Duty Assignments
This Section shall apply only to the following jobs within the units set forth in Section 23.8:
Warrant Clerk, Summary Investigation Detective, Review Investigation Detective, Review Officers,
Detective Division Administrative Desk Duty Assignment, District Desk, District Watch Relief, or
Lockup only as specifically set forth below. The Employer agrees not to eliminate any Unit Duty
Assignments listed in this Section for the duration of this Agreement.
An opening in a unit duty assignment for purposes of this Section ("recognized opening") exists
when an Officer performing the above unit duty assignments is to be transferred, resigns, retires,
dies, is discharged, when there are new unit duty assignments created, or when the Department
increases the number of employees in a unit, except for details for not more than three (3) months.
A recognized opening will be created when an Officer is voluntarily detailed and remains absent
from his or her Unit duty assignment for more than three (3) months. An Officer's assignment to a
detail shall not be rolled over solely for the purpose of avoiding the effect of this Section. The
Employer shall determine at any time before said opening is filled whether or not a recognized
opening shall be filled. If the Employer decides to fill a recognized opening utilizing Section 18.4,
the Employer must provide the Lodge with the name of the limited duty Officer within ten (10)
days of filling the recognized opening. If and when the Employer determines to fill a recognized
opening other than utilizing Section 18.4, this Section shall apply. Further, there is no recognized
opening created as a result of emergencies, or when an Officer is removed for disciplinary reasons
for up to thirty (30) days. When an Officer is removed for disciplinary reasons for more than
thirty (30) days or when an Officer is relieved of his or her police powers for more than ninety
(90) days for reasons other than placement on the medical roll, a recognized opening is created.
38

 In the event a recognized opening is to be bid under this Section, the Employer shall post within
the unit on the first Wednesday of the next police period a list of recognized openings therein, if
any, stating the requirements needed to fill the opening. This list will remain posted for seven (7)
calendar days. A copy of such postings shall be given to the Lodge at the time of the bid posting.
Non-probationary Officers within the same unit and within the same D-1, D-2 or D-2A job
classification, may bid on a recognized opening in writing on a form to be supplied by the
Employer. One copy of the bid shall be presented to the Employer, one copy shall be forwarded to
the Lodge, and one copy shall be retained by the Officer. The Employer shall respond to the
successful bidder and the Lodge no later than three (3) days prior to the change day for the new
28-day police period. During the bidding and selection process, the Employer may temporarily fill
a recognized opening by assigning an officer to said opening until the recognized opening is filled
by bid; however, the Employer may not assign Officers to a vacated position to avoid bidding the
recognized opening.
An eligible bidder shall be an Officer who is able to perform in the recognized opening to the
satisfaction of the Employer after orientation. The Employer shall select the most senior qualified
bidder when the qualifications of the Officers involved are equal. In determining qualifications, the
Employer shall not be arbitrary or capricious, but shall consider training, education, experience,
skills, ability, demeanor and performance.
The successful bidder may not bid for another recognized unit duty assignment opening for one
(1) police period year. A successful bidder may not be reassigned except for (1) emergencies for
the duration of the emergency, (2) for just cause, (3) where the Superintendent determines that the
Officer's continued assignment would interfere with the Officer's effectiveness in that assignment,
or (4) temporary unit duty assignments for operational needs, provided the Employer shall not fill
the vacated unit duty assignment. When there are no qualified bidders, the Employer may fill the
recognized opening within its discretion. Unit duty assignments in District Desk, District Watch
Relief, or Lock-up shall be treated in accordance with this Section 23.9 in all respects except the
following: (1) only non-probationary Officers within the same watch and within the same D-1
salary grade shall be eligible to bid for recognized openings in such assignments.
The District Watch Secretary position may be filled at the Employer's discretion. These positions
are limited to one (1) position per watch in each district. If the Employer decides to fill the District
Watch Secretary position, the daily unit duty assignment sheets will identify the Officer assigned
to the District Watch Secretary position. The duties and responsibilities of the District Watch
Secretary are to be determined by the Employer provided that the lockup, review and the desk
Officer bid positions as set forth in the Agreement shall be filled by either the bid Officer or
District Watch Relief personnel prior to filling these positions with the District Watch Secretary.
If the Employer violates this Section by improperly filling a recognized opening by not placing the
opening up for bid, the affected Officer(s) will be compensated at the rate of time and one-half in
quarter hour increments until the violation is remedied. The Employer is granted the ability to
remedy the violation without waiting until the next police period.
If the Employer violates this section by improperly selecting a bidder or improperly determining
qualifications for a recognized opening, the affected Officer(s) will be compensated at the rate of
time and one-half in quarter hour increments up to a maximum of fifty (50) hours of compensatory
time.
Section 23.10 — Non-Disciplinary Demotion
In the event of non-disciplinary demotions for economic reasons, the Employer shall select the most
junior Officer when the qualifications of the Officers involved are equal. In determining
39

 qualifications, the Employer shall not be arbitrary and capricious, but shall consider training,
education, experience, skills, ability, demeanor and performance.
Section 23.11 — Details
Officers assigned to units designated to provide personnel to the Summer Mobile Force,
Expressway Detail, Auto Snow Tow Detail, and the Winter Holiday Season Traffic Detail will be
permitted to bid for this detail on the basis of seniority. If and to the extent that there are insufficient
qualified bidders from a designated unit to meet that unit's allocation, the Employer will select
Officers who are deemed qualified by reverse seniority from the designated unit to fill that unit's
allocation.
If the Employer decides to assign an Officer to a detail outside the area, district, or unit, to a sports
event, parade, festival, or labor dispute; or to another event detail which constitutes a tour of duty,
the Employer shall announce the detail at a roll call preceding the event, which roll call is for the
same roll call on the same watch in the same unit from which Officers are to be assigned to the
detail. If notification at roll call is not feasible or appropriate, the Employer shall determine the
method of notification. The Employer shall select Officers to work the detail on the basis of
seniority from among those qualified Officers on said watch who are not in bid jobs and who
volunteer for the detail. If and to the extent that there are insufficient qualified volunteers, the
Employer shall select Officers on the basis of reverse seniority. The Employer may assign
probationary officers during their initial twelve (12) month period of probation without regard to
seniority.
When the Employer decides to assign an Officer to a detail outside the Officer's unit of
assignment for more than ten (10) days to a unit listed in Section 23.8 to provide relief for a
temporary manpower shortage due to furlough, medical, or suspension, the Employer shall select
Officers to work the detail on the basis of seniority from among those qualified Officers who
volunteer for the detail. If and to the extent that there are insufficient volunteers, the Employer
shall select Officers on the basis of reverse seniority, provided that the Employer may assign
probationary officers during their initial twelve (12) month period of probation without regard to
seniority.
When the Employer decides to assign an Officer to a detail outside the Officer's unit of assignment
for more than thirty (30) days to a unit listed in Section 23.8 to provide relief for a temporary
manpower shortage due to the actual strength being more than ten (10%) percent below authorized
strength, the Employer shall select Officers to work the detail on the basis of seniority from among
those qualified Officers who volunteer for the detail. If and to the extent that there are insufficient
volunteers, the Employer shall select Officers on the basis of reverse seniority, provided that the
Employer may assign probationary officers during their initial twelve (12) month period of
probation without regard to seniority.
The Employer's right to assign Tactical Teams, Mission Teams, District Gang Tactical Teams, or
other specialized units shall not be restricted in any way by this Section. In emergency situations, or
situations where the Employer reasonably anticipates civil disorder will occur, or does occur, this
Section shall not apply.
For purposes of bidding, the Employer may disregard seniority if and to the extent necessary to
achieve the balance of experience and qualifications the Employer determines to be desirable in the
detail and unit involved.
For purposes of selecting Officers on the basis of reverse seniority, the Employer may retain a
junior Officer if and to the extent necessary to fulfill operational needs.
40

 If the Employer assigns an Officer to a detail or denies an Officer(s) assignment to a detail in any
manner contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, the affected Officer(s) will be entitled to
compensation at the rate of time and one-half in quarter hour increments for the duration of the
detail.
Any time the Employer designates a unit to provide personnel to fill any detail by reverse
seniority, all Officers that have been detailed into that unit for more than ninety (90) days
shall be included as though they were assigned to the unit providing the detail.
Section 23.12 — Reassignment of Duties
No provision in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Employer from hiring or assigning
any non-bargaining unit personnel to perform any unit duties as described in Appendix B and/or C,
provided that no Officer covered by this Agreement shall be laid off either as a result thereof or if
his or her non-bargaining unit replacement, if any, has not been laid off.
Any Officer who is to be displaced by a non-bargaining unit person shall be given 60 days' prior
notice of said displacement. The Employer shall designate the positions and duties to which
displaced Officers shall be assigned. Displaced Officers may be assigned to other job duties
within the same unit without regard to Section 23.8 and 23.9. If the Employer decides to as sign
displaced Officers to different units, such displaced Officers shall be permitted to bid for such
assignments which the Employer decides to fill with such Officers on the basis of seniority and
qualifications in accordance with Section 23.8. If Officers other than those displaced are
permitted by the Employer to bid for such assignments, then all the displaced Officers shall be
deemed to be more senior than all of the non-displaced bidders for purposes of said bid.

displaced from limited duty under Section 23.12 for the duration of his or her eligibility for limited
duty.

A Dispute Resolution Board shall be convened and shall be composed of three (3)
persons: one appointed by the Employer, one appointed by the Lodge and one impartial
member to be mutually selected and agreed upon by the Employer and the Lodge. If, after

by the Employer shall within five (5) days after publication of said list eliminate three (3)
names from the list. Within two (2) days after such elimination, the representative

forth herein may be extended only upon written mutual agreement of both the Board
member appointed by the Lodge and the Board member appointed by the Employer.

6.

The Employer and the Lodge shall attempt to agree upon a written statement of the issue
or issues to be presented to the Board. In lieu of, or in addition to, such mutual statement
of issues, each party may also present its own list or statement of issues, provided only
that any such issue not mutually agreed upon shall have been an issue previously the
subject of negotiations or presentation at negotiations. During the course of proceedings,
the Chairman of the Board shall have the authority as necessary to maintain decorum and
order and may direct, (absent mutual agreement) the order of procedure; the rules of
evidence or procedure in any court shall not apply or be binding. The actual proceedings
shall not be open to the public and the parties understand and agree that the provisions of
5 ILCS 120/1 et seq. are not applicable. If, in the opinion of the impartial member of the
Board, it would be appropriate in his or her discretion to meet with either the Employer or
Lodge for mediation or conciliation functions, the Board may do so, provided only that
notice of such meetings shall be communicated to the other party.

7.

The compensation, if any, of the representatives appointed by the Lodge shall be paid by
the Lodge. The compensation of the representative appointed by the Employer shall be
paid by the Employer.

qualified bidder within that district or unit who has the present ability to perform all of the available
duties to the reasonable satisfaction of the Employer. Any Officer performing a duty assignment
anywhere in the Department shall be presumptively considered able to perform to the satisfaction of
the Department. The remaining twenty (20%) percent of those positions shall be filled at the
discretion of the Employer.
Within ten (10) days of the date of the annual selection of watch assignments, the Employer shall
provide the Lodge with documentation of the number of allocated personnel by watch, a list of
successful bidders by watch, and a list of Officers assigned by the Department's discretionary
percentage by watch.

Department increases the number of Officers in a unit on a specific watch.
Vacancies shall be filled as follows: if the vacancy is a bid vacancy, i.e., the previous incumbent
held the position by bid, then the vacancy shall be filled by bid. If the previous incumbent had been
appointed at the discretion of the Employer, then the vacancy shall be filled at the discretion of the
Employer.
If and when the Employer decides to fill a recognized watch vacancy by bid, such vacancy to be bid
shall be posted on the seventh calendar day (Wednesday) of the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Police
Periods and shall remain posted for seven (7) calendar days from the day of posting. The vacancy
shall be filled by the most senior qualified Officer bidding for the vacancy. If no such qualified
Officer within the unit bids for such vacancy, the Employer may fill the watch vacancy by reverse
seniority. Any Officer performing the duty assignment anywhere in the unit shall be presumptively
considered able to perform to the satisfaction of the Employer.
Officers who are newly assigned to a unit may be placed on a watch at the Employer's discretion
until such time as the Officer accepts a management position or is able to bid on a vacancy at the
next regularly-scheduled vacancy posting during the Third, Sixth, or Ninth Police Period.
Within ten (10) days of the date of the watch vacancy filling, the Employer shall provide the Lodge
with documentation of the number of vacancies filled by watch, the number of additional allocated
personnel by watch, a list of successful bidders by watch, and a list of Officers assigned by the
Department's discretionary percentage by watch.
Section 31.6 — Temporary Watch Assignments
For the purpose of filling a temporary vacancy in order to provide relief (i.e., vacation, medical,
suspension, detail, etc.) for a police period, the Employer shall first designate the watch(es) to
provide the relief and shall seek volunteers to satisfy its needs from the specific watch(es). If
there are more volunteers than required, the volunteer with the greatest seniority from the
designated watch(es) shall be selected. If there are not sufficient volunteers, the Officer with the
lowest seniority from the designated watch(es) shall be selected.
Once watch assignments are made, changes will not be made except for: (1) Officers identified as
Personnel Concerns, (2) Officers in a limited or convalescent duty for the duration of that status, (3)
Officers on restricted duty, (4) Officers who have been relieved of their police powers, (5) to fill a
temporary vacancy not to exceed three periods (for example, furlough, suspension, medical, detail),
initially filled by volunteers, then by reverse seniority, or (6) upon mutual agreement of the
Officer seeking the change and the Department (provided no such agreement shall involuntarily
displace any other Officer's selected watch assignment). These changes in watch assignments
shall be made only for the duration of the circumstances giving rise to the change, after which
the Officer will return to his or her previous watch assignment and will be made only for
operational needs.
When watch assignments are changed in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
provisions of Article 20 shall not apply. Changes in watch assignment not in accordance with the
provision of this Section shall require compensation of the Officer in accordance with Article 20
(i.e., time and one-half for all hours worked outside of the Officer's selected watch).

 APPENDIX K
HIGH RISK PREGNANCY
SCREENING PROGRAM
In order to reduce the risk of a premature birth and the attendant health risks to
mother and child and to avoid the costs associated with same, the City offers a high
risk pregnancy screening program. The program is part of the medical advisor
program.
Under the program, a pregnant employee, spouse or dependent is encouraged to
notify the medical advisor during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the
telephone interview, the nurse reviewers will collect information on the health status
of the prospective mother, her medical history, and conduct a health risk assessment
to determine if she meets criteria for a high risk pregnancy.
If the prospective mother does not meet criteria, the medical advisor would offer
educational materials on pregnancy and advise her that they will be following up
with a call in her second trimester of pregnancy. Further, they will advise her that
they are available if she has any questions about her pregnancy. Subsequent follow
up will depend on the course of the pregnancy. As delivery approaches, they will
advise her about expected lengths of stay postpartum.
If the prospective mother meets criteria for a high risk pregnancy, the medical
advisor will contact her physician to discuss the risk factors and identify what steps,
if any, are appropriate to reduce the risk of early delivery. They will follow the case
as appropriate. If home health or other services available under the plan are
necessary, they will approve the care plan and negotiate discounts for approved
services. They will be available as a resource to both the prospective mother and her
physician.

74

 APPENDIX L
AFFIDAVITS IN DISCIPLINARY INVESTIGATIONS
1. No affidavit will be required in support of anonymous complaints of criminal
conduct. IPRA and IAD shall continue the current and past practice with
respect to classifying allegations as either criminal or excessive force.
Allegations of excessive force shall not be classified as criminal for purposes of
avoiding the affidavit requirement.
2. Anonymous complaints of Medical Roll Abuse and/or Residency violations
will not be made the subject of a Complaint Register (CR) investigation until
verified, consistent with the current procedure. If the anonymous complaint has
been verified, no affidavit will be required.
3. Where a supervisor receives an allegation of misconduct from a citizen, the
supervisor will not be required to sign an affidavit.
4. Where one Department member makes an allegation of misconduct against
another Department member, neither Department member will be required to
sign an affidavit because both Department members are subject to discipline for
making a false report under the Rule 14 of the Department's Rules and
Regulations.
5. A complaint which is supported by an affidavit will not require additional
affidavits in support of additional allegations within the same complaint.
6. In all other cases, IPRA and IAD will make a good faith effort to obtain an
appropriate affidavit from the complainant within a reasonable time. An
"appropriate affidavit" in the case of a citizen complainant is one where the
complainant affirms under oath that the allegation(s) and statement(s) made by
the complainant are true.
7. When an appropriate affidavit cannot be obtained from a citizen complainant,
the head of either IPRA or IAD may sign an appropriate affidavit according to
the following procedure. An "appropriate affidavit" in the case of the head of
either IPRA or IAD is an affidavit wherein the agency head states he or she has
reviewed objective verifiable evidence of the type listed below, the affidavit
will specify what evidence has been reviewed and in reliance upon that
evidence, the agency head affirms that it is necessary and appropriate for the
investigation to continue.
8. The types of evidence the agency head must review and may rely upon will be
dependent on the type of case, but may include arrest and case reports, medical
records, statements of witnesses and complainants, video or audio tapes, and
photographs. This list is illustrative only and is not to be considered exclusive
or exhaustive.
9. In the case of an investigation of the type normally conducted by IPRA, the
head of IAD will execute the affidavit described above, if the head of IAD
believes execution of the required affidavit is appropriate under the facts of the
case based upon the evidence received at that time. In the case of an
investigation of the type normally conducted by IAD, the head of IPRA will
execute the affidavit described above if the head of IPRA believes the
75

 required affidavit is appropriate under the facts of the case based upon the
evidence received at that time.
10. No Officer will be required to answer any allegation of misconduct unless it is
supported by an appropriate affidavit, except as specified in paragraphs one
through five above. In the event that no affidavit is received within a reasonable
time, the investigation will be terminated and no record of the complaint or
investigation will appear on the Officer's Disciplinary History.
11. Upon the receipt of a complaint which requires an affidavit, IPRA or IAD may
conduct a preliminary investigation into those allegations but no Complaint
Register (CR) number will be issued unless and until the required affidavit is
obtained.

76

except that any decisions rendered in the expedited proceedings under these
rules may not be cited to the Arbitrator.

K. The Arbitrator will issue a short, written decision no later than sixty (60) da ys
after the completion of the last day of any scheduled block of hearings. His or
her decision shall be based upon the record developed by the parties before
and at the hearing, and shall include a brief written explanation of the basis
for his or her conclusion and shall include reference to the evidence
considered and the role that evidence played in reaching his or her decision.
L. If the parties mutually agree, the Arbitrator presiding over the expedited
arbitration held pursuant to this Appendix M shall be selected from the
panel provided for in Appendix Q, applicable to arbitration of suspension
grievances pursuant to Section 9.6.B. In the absence of mutual agreement to
utilize the panel, the parties shall select the Arbitrator pursuant to the
process set forth in Section 9.3.A.

77

 APPENDIX N
PROCEDURES FOR INJURY ON DUTY AND RECURRENCE CLAIMS
An Officer who has been certified as injured on duty shall be provided a list of available
physicians for treatment. The list of available physicians shall indicate the physicians’ medical
specialties and the physicians shall be members in good standing of a network of worker’
compensation physicians qualified to render appropriate medical care for the injury claimed. The
Officer will select a physician from the list provided by the Employer. The Medical Services
Section will refer the Officer to the physician selected by the Officer.
An Officer claiming a recurrence of an injury on duty will have his or her claim
evaluated by a physician from the Medical Services Section. A claim of a
recurrence of an injury on duty includes a claim by an Officer that an injury,
illness or condition is related to an injury on duty .
If the Medical Services Section physician finds the injury, illness or condition
complained of is not a recurrence of or related to an injury on duty, the Medical
Services Section will provide the Officer with the list of physicians described above.
The Officer will select a physician from the list provided by the Medical Services
Section and the Medical Services Section will refer the Officer to the physician
selected by the Officer (Referral Physician).
The parties may accept the Referral Physician’s finding, which shall be final and
binding on both the Officer and the Employer, or either party may seek an
Independent Medical Examination (IME). The physician conduct ing the IME (IME
Referral Physician) shall be certified in the appropriate medical spec ialty(ies) and
shall be selected by the Officer from a list of physicians provided by the Employer,
which shall indicate the physicians’ certified medical specialty(ies), who are
members in good standing of a network of physicians qualified to render IMEs. The
Medical Services Section will refer the Officer to the IME Referral Physician
selected by the Officer for an examination. The IME Referral Physician shall
consider all documents and medical records considered by the Referral Physician as
well as the Referral Physician’s finding. The IME Referral Physician’s finding
shall specify the reasons for the finding and shall be supported by the evidence in
the documents and medical records. The finding of the IME Referral Physician
shall be final and binding on both the Officer and the Employer.
The following shall apply if the Medical Services Section finds that the injury,
illness or condition complained of is not a recurrence of or related to an injury on
duty and it is later determined, pursuant to the p rocess described above, that the
injury, illness or condition complained of is a recurrence of or related to an injury
on duty. Under these circumstances, the twelve (12) month period of time for which
an Officer receives full pay and benefits as set forth in Section 18.1 shall be
extended and the Officer shall receive, in addition to the twelve (12) month period
of time set forth in Section 18.1, full pay and benefits from the date the Medical
Services Section initially found that the injury, illness or c ondition complained of
was not a recurrence of or related to an injury on duty through the date it is later
78

 certified by the Medical Services Section that the injury, illness or condition
complained of is a recurrence of or related to an injury on duty.

79

 APPENDIX O
SUBROGATION LANGUAGE FOR CITY OF CHICAGO
In the event the Plan provides benefits for injury, illness, medical care or other loss (the
"Injury") to any person, the Plan is subrogated to all present and future rights of recovery that
person, his or her parents, heirs, guardians, executors, or other representatives (individually and
collectively called the "Participant") may have arising out of the Injury. The Plan's subrogation
rights include, without limitation, all rights of recovery a Participant has: 1) against any person,
insurance company or other entity that is in any way responsible for providing or does provide
damages, compensation, indemnification or benefits for the Injury; 2) under any law or policy
of insurance or accident benefit plan providing No Fault, Personal Injury Protection or financial
responsibility insurance; 3) under uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance; 4) under motor
vehicle medical reimbursement insurance; and, 5) under specific risk or group accident and
health coverage or insurance, including, without limitation, premises or homeowners medical
reimbursement, athletic team, school or workers compensation coverages or insurance.
Upon notice of an Injury claim, the Plan may assert a subrogation lien to the extent it has
provided, or may be required to provide, Injury-related benefits. Notice of either the Plan's right
of subrogation or the Plan's subrogation lien is sufficient to establish the Plan's rights of
subrogation and entitlement to reimbursement from insurers, third parties, or other persons or
entities against whom a Participant may have an Injury-related right of recovery. The Plan shall
be entitled to intervene in or institute legal action when necessary to protect its subrogation or
reimbursement rights.
The Participant and anyone acting on his or her behalf shall promptly provide the Plan or its
authorized agents with information it deems appropriate to protect its right of subrogation and
shall do nothing to prejudice that right and shall cooperate fully with the Plan in the
enforcement of its subrogation rights. Reasonable attorney's fees and costs of Participant's
attorney shall be paid first from any recovery by or on behalf of a Participant, and the amou nt
of the Plan's subrogation claim shall be paid next from such recovery. Neither a Participant nor
his or her attorney or other representative is authorized to accept subrogation or other Injuryrelated reimbursement payments on behalf of the Plan, to negotiate or compromise the Plan's
subrogation claim, or to release any right of recovery prior to the payment of the Plan's
subrogation claim.
The Participant and all other parties to a recovery are required to contact the Plan to determine,
and arrange to pay the Plan's subrogation claim at or prior to the time an Injury-related payment
or settlement is made to or for the benefit of the Participant. If the Participant obtains a
payment or settlement from a party without the Plan's knowledge and agreement, th e Plan shall
be entitled to immediate reimbursement of its total subrogation claim from the Participant or
any party providing any Injury-related payment. In the alternative, the Plan, in its sole
discretion, may deny payment of benefits to or on behalf of the Participant for any otherwise
covered claim incurred by the Participant until the amount of the unpaid coverage is equal to
and offset by the unrecovered amount of the Plan's subrogation claim.

80

 The Plan Administrator or its authorized agents are vested with full and final
discretionary authority to construe subrogation and other Plan terms and to reduce
or compromise the amount of the Plan's recoverable interest where, in the sole
discretion of the Plan Administrator or its authorized agents, circumstances
warrant such action. The Plan shall not be responsible for any litigation-related
expenses or attorney fees incurred by or on behalf of a Participant in connection
with an Injury claim unless the Plan shall have specifically agreed in writing to
pay such expenses or fees.
The payment of benefits to or on behalf of the Participant is contingent on both the
Participant's full compliance with the Plan's provisions, including the subrogation
provision, and, when the Plan deems appropriate, the Participant's signing of a
reimbursement agreement. However, the Participant's failure to sign this
reimbursement agreement will not affect the Plan's subrogation rights or its right to
assert a lien against any source of possible recovery and to collect the amount of its
subrogation claim.

81

Procedure of Article 9.
The parties further agree that an Officer who successfully completes his or her
probationary period after having been placed on I.O.D. shall be entitled to the
benefits under the contract on the same basis as police Officers who were in that
Officer's class who did not have his or her probationary period extended.
Finally, the parties agree that in the event a probationary police officer during his
or her final six (6) months of the probation period and a non-probationary police
Officer are involved together in a situation which gives rise to the non-probationary
police Officer and the probationary police officer each receiving discipline of a five
(5) day suspension or less and the discipline for the non-probationary police
Officer is subsequently rescinded or reduced, any discipline imposed on the
probationary police officer may be reviewed in accordance with the collective
bargaining agreement and the City will not assert timeliness provided the Officer
has completed successfully his or her probationary period.

 APPENDIX Q
GROUND RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF SUSPENSION
GRIEVANCES PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.6.B AND 9.6.C
The following procedures shall apply to arbitrations of grievances
challenging suspensions of eleven (11) to three hundred sixty-five (365) days.
A.
The Lodge and the Employer have agreed to a panel of five (5)
Arbitrators who shall comprise the exclusive list of Arbitrators to preside
over the suspension grievances. The five (5) Arbitrators are: . Each
December the Lodge and the City shall each be permitted to strike one (1)
Arbitrator from the panel for any reason. In the event an Arbitrator is
removed from the panel, the parties shall attempt to agree upon a
replacement Arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon a
replacement, they shall request a list of seven (7) Arbitrators from the
American Arbitration Association, each of whom must be a member of the
National Academy of Arbitrators. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the
list, the parties shall select an Arbitrator. Both the Employer and the Lodge
shall alternately strike names from the list. The remaining person shall be
the added to the panel. In the event the Lodge and the City each strike an
Arbitrator from the panel as part of the December process, and if the parties
are unable to agree upon replacement Arbitrators, the parties shall request
two lists from the American Arbitration Association to be used to select the
two replacement Arbitrators.
B.
Within ten (10) days of the Lodge electing to forward the suspension
grievance to arbitration, the parties shall meet and select an Arbitrator from
the panel. The parties shall inform the Arbitrator of the Arbitrator’s
appointment and request a hearing date within sixty (60) days. If the
Arbitrator is unable to provide a hearing date within sixty (60) days from the
date of being contacted, the parties shall select another Arbitrator from the
panel who is able to provide a hearing date within sixty (60) days. Upon
appointment of the Arbitrator, but prior to the date on which a cancellation
fee would be incurred, and unless they have already done so, the parties shall
schedule a date to conduct a settlement conference to attempt to resolve the
grievance. More than one suspension grievance may be discussed at the
settlement conference. If the parties are unable to resolve the suspension
grievance, they shall proceed with the Arbitration Process outlined in this
Memorandum of Understanding.
C.
Provided the Lodge accepts a hearing date within sixty (60) days of
appointment of the Arbitrator, the Officer will not be required to serve the
suspension, nor will the suspension be entered on the Officer’s disciplinary
record, until the Arbitrator rules on the merits of the grievance. In the event
additional day(s) of hearing may be required to resolve the grievance, such
additional day(s) shall be scheduled within thirty (30) days of the first day of
hearing. If the Lodge is not ready to proceed on a scheduled hearing date,
84

 the Officer shall be required to serve the suspension prior to the Arbitrator
ruling on the merits of the grievance.
D.
The authority and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be governed by the
provisions of Sections 9.7 and 9.8 of the Agreement.
E.
The provisions of this Appendix Q supersede Appendix S of the
predecessor collective bargaining agreement. However, nothing shall
prohibit or require the parties agreeing upon an expedited or “fast track”
arbitration procedure for a specific grievance or category of grievances.

85

 APPENDIX R
PROCEDURES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW
Any Officer covered by this Agreement who has been involuntarily removed from
active duty for psychological reasons has a right to file a grievance pursuant to
Section 9.4 of this Agreement. In order to achieve a fair and prompt resolution of
such a grievance, the Lodge and the Employer agree that these procedures will be
followed.
I.

ISSUES FOR REVIEW
A. Is the Grievant presently psychologically fit to perform the duties of a full
duty police officer?
B. Was the Grievant psychologically capable of performing the duties of a
full duty police Officer at the time he or she was removed from duty or at
any time thereafter? If so, on what date?

The duties of a full duty police Officer shall include the ability to perform the duties
set forth in the following two paragraphs.
Police Officers, as part of and empowered by the community, protect the lives,
property, and rights of all people, maintain order, and enforce the law impartially.
They work in partnership with the community to respond to crime and
neighborhood disorder. They work various shifts and days as assigned, patrolling
an assigned beat by vehicle and/or on foot in order to observe conditions, intervene
in observed situations that require their attention, and provide a visible presence to
prevent crime from occurring. Police Officers respond to a variety of assignments
such as crimes in progress, accidents, damage to property, and domestic and other
disturbances. They may have to deal with unruly persons and overcome forceful
resistance. They protect crime scenes until detectives or superiors arrive; examine
the scene for evidence, and question suspects, victims, and witnesses in order to
gather information. Under Chicago's Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS), Police
Officers participate in and conduct neighborhood meetings to identify community
concerns and work with supervisors and peers to analyze crime patterns and
develop responses to criminal activity in an area.
Police Officers respond to a variety of emergencies and must pursue suspects on
foot over a variety of terrain and obstacles. Police Officers prepare reports,
recording all details of an incident; prepare arrest slips to start the booking
procedure; and testify in court. Police Officers must possess the ability to
physically control suspects and to safely discharge firearms to protect citizens
and/or themselves. They perform a wide variety of other tasks, such as directing
pedestrian or vehicular traffic, issuing traffic citations, and assisting sick and
injured persons in a variety of ways. They perform all other related duties as
required and directed in order to serve citizens by enforcing laws and protecting
lives and property.
The Panel must find that an Officer is either fit or unfit for full duty as a Police
Officer. When an Officer is found fit for full duty, the Panel may recommend that
86

 the Grievant participate in counseling. However, the Panel's recommendation may
not be conditioned upon such participation.
II.

INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW BY THE PANEL

A.

The Grievant must execute a release in proper legal form authorizing the
Lodge to have access to the Employer's psychological files. The term
"psychological files" does not include the results of any standardized
psychological/ psychiatric tests.

B.

No documentation in the possession of any member of the Panel shall be
withheld if requested by another Panel member. Each member of the Panel
shall provide to the other members of the Panel the results of any standardized
psychological/psychiatric tests, conclusions based on said tests, and each Panel
member's rationale for finding the Grievant fit or unfit.

C.

The mutually-appointed member of the Panel may interview, examine, and
evaluate the Grievant and may request additional data through the
representatives of the Lodge and the Employer. Any member of the Panel is
authorized to review any and all information or documents contained in
Complaint Register files that are open, not-sustained, and/or sustained.
However, no member of the Panel shall review any information or documents
in Complaint Register files in which the finding was exonerated or
unfounded. The restrictions on the retention of Complaint Register files set
forth in Section 8.4 of this Agreement shall also apply to the Psychological
Review process.

III. PROCEDURES
A.

All members of the Panel shall meet and discuss the Grievant's fitness and
reach a conclusion regarding fitness.

B.

The mutually-appointed member of the Panel shall draft the Panel's decision
regarding the Grievant's fitness. The decision must specifically address
whether the Officer was fit for some or all of the time the Officer has been
removed from duty and the Officer's present fitness. The decision must also
address all of the issues submitted for review and state the evidence relied
upon as the basis for the decision.
The mutually-appointed member of the Panel shall send the draft of the Panel's
decision to the Panel members appointed by the Lodge and the Employer for
verification of their representations within fourteen (14) days from the date of
the meeting of the Panel. The members of the Panel appointed by the Lodge
and the Employer shall have fourteen (14) days from the postmark date of the
draft report to verify said representations and to provide suggestions,
recommendations, and comments to the mutually-appointed member of the
Panel. The mutually-appointed member of the Panel may make any revisions
to the decision based upon the comments received from the other members of
the Panel. The final decision shall issue no later than fourteen (14) days from
the postmark date of the latest response of the other members of the Panel, if
any. In all cases, the decision of the Panel shall issue no later than sixty (60)
days from the date of the meeting of the Panel. Failure to meet these time

C.

87

 guidelines does not divest the Panel of authority to make fitness for duty
decisions, nor expose the Employer to any liability.
D.
Copies of the decision of the Panel shall be provided immediately to
the representatives of the Lodge and the Employer.

88

 APPENDIX S
GRIEVANCE MEDIATION PROGRAM GROUND RULES
The parties agree to establish a grievance mediation program in accordance with the
following ground rules:
1)
Grievance mediation sessions shall be scheduled by the parties by mutual agreement,
but not more frequently than once quarterly. Such mediation sessions shall be presided
over by an arbitrator/mediator, to be selected by mutual agreement of the parties from
among the following three (3) arbitrators/mediators: Edwin Benn, Peter Meyers and George
Roumell.
2)
In order to be eligible for submission to this mediation pilot program, grievances
must be of the “contract interpretation” variety (i.e., neither disciplinary nor medical
grievances shall be eligible for this process), the Lodge must have invoked arbitration of the
grievance, and there are no issues with respect to the procedural arbitrability of the
grievance(s).
3)
Each party shall identify up to four (4) grievances for presentation at each session
(i.e., a total of eight (8) grievances per session). The parties shall agree upon the agenda of
grievances to be submitted at least fourteen (14) days prior to the mediation session, and
shall jointly prepare an agreed upon statement of the issue(s) presented in each grievance.
4)
At least ten (10) days before the session, the parties shall confer for the purpose of
exchanging the documents upon which each intends to rely at the session, including copies of
any correspondence, orders, statements, etc. The parties are expected to resolve any
disputes regarding authenticity of any proposed documents or other exhibits prior to the
mediation session.
5)
Within three (3) days of the session, each party shall prepare and exchange with the
other party a written statement, for each grievance, of no more than one (1) page in length,
outlining its position and arguments concerning the grievance. The governing principle in
this mediation process, to be adhered to by both parties, is that there be no claims or
defenses offered for the first time at the mediation.
6)
A party’s failure to comply with any of the timelines set forth in this Appendix shall
result in the cancellation of the mediation session and assessment of the Mediator’s
cancellation fee and expenses against that party. Otherwise, the parties shall split evenly the
cost of the Mediator’s expenses and fees. Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses
related to the mediation.
7)
Within three (3) days of the session, each party shall submit to the Mediator a set of
the documents previously provided to the other party. Only under extraordinary
circumstances will a party be allowed to introduce a document at the hearing that was not
previously identified and submitted. As part of the submission to the Mediator, each party
may submit the one (1) page written statement, for each grievance, referenced in paragraph
3 above, outlining its position concerning the grievance.
89

 8)
At the session, each party may be represented by one (1) attorney and one (1) party
representative. The grievant may also be present; if there are multiple grievants, then one
grievant representative may be present. Each party shall make a presentation of no more
than thirty (30) uninterrupted minutes in length (including rebuttal) with respect to each
grievance. There shall be no witnesses; however, if the mediator indicates that hearing from
the grievant would be helpful to the mediator, the grievant may make a statement. The
thirty (30) allowed minutes shall include the grievant’s statement. Each party shall
otherwise make its presentation through offer(s) of proof. The rules of evidence shall not
apply and there shall be no procedural or substantive legal objections to the parties’
presentations or to the evidence submitted at mediation (e.g., objections based on lack of
foundation). There shall be no recording of the session. The parties expect that the
Mediator will conduct the mediation by initially having both parties in the same room
making their initial presentation(s), and will thereafter separate the parties to conduct the
mediation, as the Mediator deems appropriate.
9)
Each party’s representative(s) shall come to the session with authority to resolve each
grievance scheduled to be heard, and shall have authority to enter into a settlement
agreement. Where a settlement agreement is reached, the parties shall reduce to writing the
terms of the agreement and execute such agreement prior to the conclusion of the mediation
session.
10)
Any settlement reached at mediation shall be binding with respect to that particular
grievance(s) only, and shall have no precedential value with respect to any other grievance,
nor may it may be used or referred to in any subsequent proceeding between the parties,
unless both parties agree in writing. The mediation session(s) shall be confidential, and
nothing said by either party at the session(s) may be used, referred to or relied upon in any
subsequent proceeding.
11)
The Mediator shall not be eligible to serve as an arbitrator with respect to any
grievances submitted to the Mediator as part of the mediation pilot program.
12)
The location of the mediation session shall rotate among the offices of the Lodge, the
Management and Labor Affairs Section or another location agreed to by the parties.
13)
Upon mutual agreement, the parties may strike the name(s) of one or more of the
Mediators identified in Paragraph (1) above and, by agreement, substitute a different
Mediator to replace the stricken name(s).
14)
Both parties acknowledge their shared interest in streamlining the
grievance/arbitration process and providing for timely and appropriate resolutions of
grievances.

90

 APPENDIX T
DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING
Pursuant to the award issued In the Matter of the Arbitration Between the City of Chicago and
Fraternal Order of Police, Chicago Lodge No. 7 by Arbitrator Edwin H. Benn on April 16, 2010,
the Chicago Police Department's drug and alcohol testing program shall be amended as follows:
A. The Department's existing policies and orders regarding random drug testing shall be revised
to include the following components:
1.

Testing for the presence of alcohol while on duty.
a.

Officers selected for random drug testing shall also be tested for alcohol.

b.

Upon notification to submit to random testing, Officers shall continue to report to the
Random Drug Testing Unit for the collection of urine specimens.

c.

The Department may use urine specimens to test for the presence of both drugs
specified in this agreement and alcohol. The Department may also test for alcohol
using a breath alcohol test administered by a qualified tester using a certified and
calibrated Breathalyzer.

d.

The initial and confirmatory test levels for a positive presence of alcohol shall be a
breath alcohol level of .021 or its urine concentration equivalent, unless a different
standard is required by paragraph (e) below.

e.

If the test reveals a breath alcohol level of .021 through .039 or their urine
concentration equivalents, the Officer shall be relieved from duty without
compensation until the next duty day and shall submit to drug and alcohol testing
prior to his/her return to duty. If the return-to-duty test reveals an alcohol level of
.00, the Officer may return to duty and shall not be subject to discipline based on
the initial test result; however, during the six- (6-) month period following the date
of the initial test, the Officer will be selected for random drug and alcohol testing
from an eligibility pool consisting of similarly situated Officers.
If the return-to-duty test or any test administered within the six-(6-) month period
described above reveals any presence of alcohol, the Officer shall be relieved from
duty without compensation until ordered to return to duty, and the Random Drug
Testing Unit will refer the matter to the Internal Affairs Division.
If the test reveals a breath alcohol level equal to or greater than .04 or its urine
concentration equivalent, the Officer shall be relieved from duty without
compensation until ordered to return to duty, and the Random Drug Testing Unit
will refer the matter to the Internal Affairs Division. In the event discipline is
recommended, the Internal Affairs Division shall consider whether to agree to
hold the discipline in abeyance in exchange for the Officer's agreement to
participate in a rehabilitation program, remain drug and alcohol free

91

 for a defined period and comply with other appropriate terms and conditions (i.e.,
a "last chance" agreement).
An Officer who is relieved from duty without compensation in accordance with
this subsection may utilize accrued elective time during the unpaid period of
absence.
f.
2.

The above changes shall be implemented effective January 1, 2012, or thereafter.

Bidders and/or applicants for assignments in the Narcotics Section, Gang Enforcement
Section, Gang Investigation Section and Vice Control Section in the Organized Crime
Division and the Intelligence Section in the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Division
shall be required to submit to a drug and alcohol test prior to appointment. Thereafter,
all Officers assigned to these Units shall be selected for random drug and alcohol
testing from an eligibility pool consisting solely of Officers assigned to such Units.

B. The procedures applicable to drug testing conducted by the Department, regardless of whether
the basis for the testing is random, for cause or any other basis, shall be amended to include
the following:
1.

2.

Ecstasy (MDA/MDMA) and steroids shall be added to the panel of substances for
which the Department tests, and Methaqualone shall be removed from such panel. The
modernized panel shall thus read as follows:

promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration ("SAMHSA") for those substances covered
by such regulations.

92

 3.

4.

C.

During the term of this Agreement, the Department may add or remove
additional substances to the panel referred to above when it has reasonable
grounds for such addition or removal (such as when new drugs are developed
or changes occur in patterns of consumption of dangerous or illegal drugs),
provided that it shall provide Lodge 7 with thirty (30) days' advance written
notice and, upon request, meet with Lodge 7 to negotiate the addition or
removal of a substance to or from the panel. If the parties are unable to agree
on the addition or removal of a substance from the panel, the dispute shall be
resolved through the binding grievance arbitration procedure set forth in Article
9. The sole issue before the Arbitrator shall be whether the Department has a
reasonable basis for adding or removing the substance to or from the panel and
for the initial and confirmatory test levels.
If a test reveals a positive presence of a substance on the above panel or the abuse
of prescription drugs, the Random Drug Testing Unit will continue to refer the
matter to the Internal Affairs Division.

Effective upon ratification, in any instance where an Officer discharges his/ her
weapon, whether on or off duty, the Officer shall submit to drug and alcohol testing at
the direction of the Internal Affairs Division or any superior authority. If the Officer
has discharged his/her weapon off duty and the test reveals the presence of alcohol, the
Department shall not discipline the Officer based solely on the results of the alcohol
test when the Officer's actions are consistent with the Department's use of force
guidelines.

D. The Department's existing policies and orders regarding drug and alcohol use shall be
amended to state that an Officer is prohibited from consuming alcohol within the four(4-) hour period preceding the start of a previously scheduled shift or after receiving
notice to report for duty. Alleged violations of this rule cannot result in discipline
unless a test conducted pursuant to the testing procedures is positive.
E. The Department will continue to conduct its drug and alcohol testing program in
accordance with the regulations promulgated by the Illinois State Police set forth in
Title 20, Part 1286, of the Illinois Administrative Code.

93

 NOTICE TO SUPERVISORS REGARDING PROGRESSIVE
DISCIPLINE
Supervisors, including Watch Commanders, retain the flexibility, authority and
discretion where circumstances warrant to issue reprimands to offending Officers
for infractions. Second or even repeated infractions of minor rules may, but do not
always, require increased punishment (particularly including loss of time or income)
when an oral or written reprimand will suffice to achieve the goal of correcting
improper behavior.
There is some belief that a progressive system of discipline requires enhanced
penalties no matter how insignificant the infraction. This is not correct.
You are permitted and urged to use your judgment in determining the appropriate
level of discipline. Officers in this Department are a valuable resource which should
not be wasted or unduly restricted.

94

 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING MAINTENANCE OF BENEFITS
It is further understood that the below-listed benefits enjoyed by Officers covered
by this Agreement will be maintained for the duration of the Agreement and shall
not be diminished, modified, or eliminated during the term of the Agreement.
Sickness in family time
Change of uniforms at District
Use of department lockers and mailboxes
Use of gymnasium facilities during off-duty hours
Physical and optical examinations
Health care fringe benefits, including hospitalization insurance
Furloughs and compensatory (baby) furloughs
Marriage leave
Pension benefits as provided by statute
Utilization of compensatory time earned in partial tour or full tour
segments consistent with Article 20 and Article 23.5 of Agreement.
One half-hour lunch period taken during the tour of duty
Life insurance rates, including cost of optional insurance
Any obligation of the City of Chicago to indemnify Officers for punitive
damages assessed, adjudged, or otherwise levied shall be based upon City
Ordinances and/or State Statutes providing for such indemnification.

95

 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING DISTRICT UNIT BID ASSIGNMENTS

 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING BIDDING PROCEDURES
The City of Chicago and the Fraternal Order of Police, Chicago Lodge No. 7,
jointly agree that the following procedures and interpretations will apply to
processing bids to Fill Recognized Vacancies in accordance with Section 23.8 of
the contract:
1. All sworn full duty non-probationary members below the career service rank of
sergeant will be allowed to bid for one transfer request. Members who are
currently on the medical roll but who are otherwise full duty will be allowed to
bid.
2. Bids for vacancies must be submitted in accordance with the instructions
contained in the Recognized Vacancy Announcement and must be forwarded to
the Management and Labor Affairs Section within 72 hours of the time the
announcement is posted. Members may fax a copy of the bid to the
Management and Labor Affairs Section to ensure timely receipt; however, two
copies of the properly completed bid form must also be forwarded to the
Management and Labor Affairs Section. The bid form must contain the
signature of the member, and the signature of his or her commanding officer/
watch commander specifying the date and time the bid was submitted.
3. A successful bidder may not bid for another recognized vacancy within one
police period year unless reassigned by the Employer. For example, a member
who submits a successful bid in the 11th period for a 12th period vacancy in
2000 is not eligible to submit another bid to fill a recognized vacancy until the
11th period of 2001 for a 12th period of 2001 vacancy.
4. Probationary members may not submit a bid to fill a recognized vacancy
while on probation. A probationary member whose probationary period will
expire during the 72-hour period to submit bids, may submit a bid for a
recognized vacancy. The member must be off probation at the time of the
bid. A member whose probationary period expires after the 72-hour bid
period but prior to the beginning of the period when the vacancy will be
filled is not eligible to bid.
5. The member is responsible for ensuring that the bid form set has been received
by the Management and Labor Affairs Section by the deadline specified in the
Recognized Vacancy Announcement. The member will forward the original
and white copy to the Management and Labor Affairs Section, the green copy
to the Lodge, and will retain the gold copy for their records.
6. Bids which do not contain the required information or are otherwise improperly
completed will not be accepted.

97

 LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT
REGARDING PHYSICAL FITNESS
The City of Chicago and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 7 jointly recognize
that physical fitness of police Officers is of mutual benefit to the officers, the City
and the public.
Therefore, the City and the Lodge hereby agree to undertake a joint effort to
develop a reasonable physical fitness program applicable to all bargaining unit
members.
The City and the Lodge hereby establish a Physical Fitness Committee consisting of
3 members designated by the Lodge and 3 members designated by the
Superintendent of Police. The Committee may be assisted by such consultants or
other individuals (paid for by the Employer, provided the Employer agrees to their
participation) as may be necessary to accomplish its goals.
The Committee's recommendations shall be advisory only. Upon receipt of the
Committee's recommendations, the Superintendent may adopt or modify the
recommended program. If the Superintendent modifies the program, he/she shall so
notify the Committee and the Lodge in writing. Within ten (10) calendar days of
such notice, the Lodge may request arbitration of the modifications under Article 9.
The issue before the arbitrator shall be whether the modifications proposed by the
Superintendent are reasonable.
No Officer shall be discharged, suspended, relieved from duty, demoted, or
disciplined in any manner under or relating to any physical fitness program.

98

 PHYSICAL FITNESS INCENTIVE
In an effort to promote physical fitness among the Officers covered by this
Agreement, the Employer and Lodge agree to the following:
Beginning in 2001, every officer covered by this Agreement will have
one opportunity annually to schedule an appointment for a physical

 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
RE: HEALTH CARE PLAN - F.0.P.. DODGE 7

This memorandum con?rms our conversations relating to health care contributions in the
situation where a bargaining unit of?cer has a spouse employed by the City. The City will not
require such employees to pay two single contributions.

if an officer is married to another City employee (whether in or out of the F.O.P.
bargaining unit). it is?understood that the employee whose plan is selected shall be required to
pay the appropriate contribution (in the case where the spouse is outside the F.O.P. unit).
Furthermore. dependent eligibility will be determined by the plan of the employee making the
contributions.

in the event the of?cer elects to be covered as a dependent on hislher spouse?s plan, and
the spouse is not an F.O.P. bargaining unit member. the of?cer's health care bene?ts will be
determined in accordance with the provisions of that plan and not the plan applicable to the
F.O.P. or the several memoranda of understanding applicable to tiu: F.O.P. plan.

it is also agreed by the Lodge and the Employer that, in the event that two employees
marry in the future. or the spouse of a current employee becomes an employee of the City. the
required election will be made within thirty (30) days of the date of marriage. The required
election will be made by contacting the City of Chicago Bene?ts Eligibility Unit to receive the
forms necessary to make the election. Further informaion is set forth in the Employee Bene?ts
Handbook.

Of?cers who are unavailable for reasons such as leave of absence, medical, titrlough.
etc. will be allowed to make the election within seven (7) working days of their return to duty.

It is understood that this agreement will be incorporated into the City of Chicago Medical
Plan for sworn police employees. as well as the plan available to nonsworn personnel (FOP.
Revision December. 1989) as revised.

Please acknowledge your agreement in the space provided below.

Re: Negotiations I Section 8.4
Dear Ms. Papuahlrewych:

Tia's letter will confirm our agreement. reached during negotiations for a
successor to the collective bargaining agreement which expired on June 30. 1999.
concerning Section 8.4. The Department has proposed the inclusion of new
language in paragraph two of Section 8.4 concerning what use may be made of
disciplinary investigations which are categorized as ?not sustained." The patties
agree that lt?a ?not sustained" tile is relied upon. it will he noted in the CR file
being investigated The disciplinary history will be limited to a ?ve- (5) year
retention period for sustained ?ndings only end a one- (I) year retention period
for summary punishments.

The inclusion language in Section 8.4 is not meant in any way to cling:
oralter the fact that the Department has the burden of establishing that it had just
came to impose discipline or that the amount of discipline Imposed is appropriate
under the circumstances of any case. Further. the inclusion of this language does
not prevent the Lodge from challenging whether the ?not sustained" film) relied
upon was suf?ciently similar in number or type to be relevant and cunpetent to
be used for the purpose for which the Department has used the ?not sustained'
tile. Further. the Lodge reserves the right to argue the relevancy and weight it
believes is appropriate to those files.

If this letter accurately re?ects your understanding and agreement regarding this
issue. please sign where indicated and return a copy to me.

numerous occasions to discuss the feasibility of inviementing that agreement as well as
whether or not the letter of August I. I996 was as extensive and comprehensive as the
parties desired it to be to give effect to our respective goals. The conclusion reached by
the parties was that the procedures set forth in your letter were not workable

The parties have met to negotiate this issue. As a result of this limiter negotiation.
the following procedure was agreed to and will be followed in all cases where the
Department has cause to believe that a member of this bargaining unit is operating a

2. Where the violation noted is the failure to purdt-e. renew. and/or display
current State of Illinois license plates. the SPAR form will be processed with a
recommendation for disciplinary action not to exceed a one (I) (lay suspension.

3. The member will have ten l0) working days to show compliance with the State
of lilinoisiiecnsing requirements If the member does not comply within ten (I0)
working days. or in the event of prior lieerling violations in the past one year

solely responsible for paying each of?cer and otherwise accounting for the
of?cer?s compensation.

An of?cer?s eligibility for Department-procured outside employment is
governed by the following terms and conditions:

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE
CITY CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF POLICE
AND THE
FRATERNAI. ORDER OF POLICE CHICAGO LODGE NO. 7

The Chicago Police Department (?Department?). as part of and empowered by the
community. is committed to protect the lives. property. and rights of al people. to maintain
order. and enforce the hw impartially. The Department will provide quality police service
in partnership with other members of the Community. To fulfill the Department?s mission. it
will strive to attain the highest degree of ethical behavior and professional conduct at all
times. This, the Department?s mission statement, embodies the essential purpose of the
Chicago Police Department, to serve and protect. To achieve this mission. the Department
must maintain proper staf?ng levels to elfectively deploy manpower and provide protection to
members of the public. Moreover. sufficient manpower is a critical component of ensuring
Police Of?cer safety. However. the Department recognius the countervailing concerns of its
Police Of?cers regarding the use of elective time. Use of elective time allows Police Officers to
cope with job related stress and spend quality time with family and h?buds.

Accordingly, for Police Of?cers assigned to District Law Enforcement, the parties
agree that the Department shall comply with the following Elective Time (compensatory time.
personal days and baby furlough days) requests. the approval of which shall not be
unreasonably denied:

1) Furlongh and related furlough extensions will be granted in accordance with
Department directives.

2) Family Medical Leave Act - intermittent leave as required by the Act.

3) Personal Days submitted no later than ten (10) days prior to the requested day off will
be approved so long as the granting of the Personal Day does not adversely affect
Department operations. Denial of use of a Personal Day must be made three (3) days
prior to the requested date to allow for tour of duty exchange options. Any dispute
stemming from multiple timely Personal Day requests submitted by Police Officers on
the same watch will be resolved by seniority.

4) All other elective time (baby furlough days, vacation days. and compensatory time)
submitted no later than seven (7) days prior to the requested day off. but no earlier
than thirty-five (35) days prior to the requested day off. will be granted in seniority
order. A Police Officer whose timely elective time request is denied will be noti?ed a
minimum of three (3) days in advance of the requested day off to allow the Police
Of?cer to utilize the tour of duty exchange option.

5) Day 06' Holiday requests submitted no later than seven (7) days prior to the requested
day oh. but no earlier than thirty-live (35) days prior to the requested day off will be
given priority and granted in seniority order. A Police Of?cer whose timely Day Off
Holiday request is denied will be notified five (5) days in advance of the requested day
off. The tour of duty exchange option is not available for holidays. Unit

151

6)

7)

3)

Commanders/Commanding Officers will ensure that a notice informing Police Officers
of the day off holiday request procedures will he placed in the Book as needed.
Nothing precludes the Unit Officers from determining a
minimum set percentage of Police Officers on each watch in each district who may be
granted the use of Elective Time. The Department and the Lodge agree to form a
Labor Management Committee for the purpose of establishing a minimum set
percentage of officers who will be given an option for the use of Elective Time.
Nothing contained in this Memorandum of Understanding will modify the current
policy or practices which govern the use and awarding of Elective Time. except as
expressly provided for herein.

The Department continues to retain the right to cancel all days off for Police Officers
by district or unit when warranted. as it has In the past. due to exigent circumstances.

Each quarter. the Department agrees to provide the Lodge with the number of Police
Officers on each watch in each district. including the number of Police Officers who were on
hirioughs, and non-IOD. and the number of Police Officers who requested and were
granbd the use of Elective Time and will make every reasonable effort to determine officer:
who were denied the use of Elective Time.
