This popped up all over the comment sections just prior to the weekend. After enjoying our holiday, we did a little research into and here's what we have found:
- Employee Resource Order #E03-01-03 was issued and takes effect on the first of the year;
- Convalescent Duty is out, done, vanished;
- To be placed in the "Limited Duty" status, you must be able to handle a gun; walk without the assistance of a cane, crutch, brace; be able to subdue an "active resister;" and drive a squad car;
This is not replacing the I.O.D. or Medical Roll. It seems to be more for long term recovery/long term illness people. The catch is that you are granted a total of 365 days on limited duty for your entire career. Once that's done, so is your career.
We've heard you have to apply for the "Limited Duty" status and if you don't make it, well...Back to the Beat with you. Discuss in this thread - we're sure we've missed something important.
