(A) Applicants for police officer positions shall hold all qualifications of a state-certified police officer, shall be of good character, and shall be screened by a physician of the Township Board’s choice and at township expense. The physician’s examination shall determine if the applicant has any pre- existing physical conditions that would preclude the applicant from performing the duties associated with public safety.
(B) All police officers shall serve an initial probationary period for a period of not less than 6 months. At the discretion of the Chief, the probationary period may be extended. At the conclusion of the minimum probationary period, the Chief may recommend that a probationary police officer that has met all necessary qualifications be given permanent part-time status by the Township Board.
(C) A probationary police officer shall be entitled to all compensation afforded to permanent part- time officers.
