RULE 6 - SUSPENSIONS AND RESIGNATIONS
2/600.00 Whenever it is considered necessary, for the reason of any violation of the Rules and Regulations of the Department, and for the preservation of good order, efficiency and discipline, Captains of Police, or higher ranks, may suspend from duty, any subordinate members of the Department, until the circumstances can be reported in the manner prescribed to the Chief of Police, and by the Chief approved and confirmed. However, no member of the Department above the rank of lieutenant, or the head of a bureau, shall be suspended from duty, except by the Chief of Police.
2/600.05 In every case of suspension, the supervisory officer so ordering shall as soon as practicable notify the Chief of Police or designee. A written report shall be submitted, stating the name of the accused, the particular rule or order violated, and the specific charges, with the names and addresses of all witnesses.
2/600.10 Whenever any commanding officer suspends any member of the Department assigned to another work location, the commanding officer of such suspended member shall be promptly notified.
