What is the duration for which a Senior Police Officer's contract can be terminated if they are not in full duty?

The duration for which a Senior Police Officer's contract can be terminated if they are not in full duty is one year. This policy is often set in place to provide a reasonable period during which an officer can seek resolution, rehabilitation, or improvement of their condition before termination is considered. It reflects the department’s commitment to support its personnel while maintaining operational effectiveness. With a one-year timeframe, the organization balances the need for accountability with the understanding that recovery and return to full duty can take time.

In contrast, shorter durations like 3 months, 6 months, or 120 days may not provide sufficient time for the thorough evaluation of the officer's situation or the necessary support measures to be implemented effectively. Therefore, one year offers a practical approach to managing personnel who are not able to perform their duties fully.
