No. Pages: 3
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish a plan for personnel with military activations exceeding
90 days for pre -deployment, deployment, and post -deployment.
II, POLICY
Situations involving military deployment orders can arise suddenly. The best practice is
effective communication from the Fayetteville Police Department to the employee and his or her
family prior to a deployment, during the deployment, and following a deployment. Having a
strong point of contact throughout the deployment period will help ensure a seamless transition.
To the extent possible, the deployed employee should be notified of agency news, significant
events, and promotions or promotion opportunities. Rights, responsibilities, and minimum
requirements are outlined in statutory law, most notably but not limited to the Uniformed
Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).
III. DEFINITIONS
A. Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA)- a
federal statute that protects service -members' and veterans' civilian employment rights.
USERRA provides that returning service -members will be able to return to their jobs
with their same pay, benefits, and status that they would have attained had they not been
absent for military service.
IV. PROCEDURES
A. Department's Point of Contact [CALEA 22.2.8 a.]
1. The department's point of contact will be the administrative captain:
a. The administrative captain will strive for effective communication between the
police department and the deployed employee and will be allowed to utilize any
resource available to accomplish this mission [CALEA 22.2.8 g.].
b. The administrative captain will ensure the deployed employee is periodically
notified of agency news, significant events, and promotions [CALEA 22.2.8 g.].
c. The administrative captain will track the department's promotional opportunities
and notify the deployed employee of those promotional opportunities that are
22.2.8 Military Activations Page 1 of 3
relevant to him / her. The administrative captain will keep the Fayetteville Police
Department Administration and the city's Human Resources Division advised of
such promotional opportunities affecting deployed members of the department to
ensure promotional processes are compliant with federal and state laws. [CALEA
22.2.8 g.].
B. City of Fayetteville Human Resources Point of Contact [CALEA 22.2.8 b]
1. The City of Fayetteville Human Resources Division point of contact will be the
human resources benefits administrator. A deployed employee may make contact
with the human resources benefits administrator while on leave to obtain information,
request assistance, or to have questions answered [CALEA 22.2.8 g.].
C. Processing Prior to Military Deployment [CALEA 22.2.8 c.]
1. A regular department member, who is a member of the National Guard or reserves of
the United States Armed Forces, who is deployed for the purpose of entering any
branch of the United States Armed Forces for a period exceeding 90 days shall be
placed in military active duty status and granted a leave of absence.
a. Reasonable advance notice of impending military leave should be provided by the
employee and a copy of the orders should be submitted to the administrative
captain through the employee's chain of command. The administrative captain
will ensure a copy of the orders will be given to the Human Resources Division.
b. Employees must comply with the City of Fayetteville's Military Leave Policy.
c. If available, the employee should provide the administrative captain with the
name and contact information for the employee's military commanding officer for
situations where communication may become difficult. The employee should
also provide email addresses, additional phone numbers, addresses, and reaffirm
contacts remaining stateside [CALEA 22.2.8 g.].
d. The employee will have an exit interview prior to deployment with the Chief of
Police or his/her designee, if the timing of the deployment permits [CALEA
22.2.8 c.].
D. Storage of Agency Owned Equipment During Deployment [CALEA 22.2.8 d.]
If an opportunity is provided, the employee shall meet with his / her supervisor to
determine storage of agency owned equipment during the deployment. The
supervisor will forward the information upward through the chain of command.
a. If the employee has other items or assigned resources that for the benefit of the
department need to be temporarily reassigned, the supervisor will identify such
items with the employee and reassign such items after consulting with his/her
chain of command.
b. The employee may also provide additional items to the department through
his/her supervisor that the employee wants to be safely secured at the department
during the deployment.
E. Processing Upon Return From Deployment [CALEA 22.2.8 e.]
