Each member of the uniform ranks in the Division of Police shall be required to undergo a complete and thorough physical examination by the police surgeon at least once every year. The police surgeon is required to keep a written record of the results of his or her examination and to report to the Director of Public Safety any physical or mental disabilities, or impairments, which in his or her professional medical opinion, prevent any member of the uniform ranks from performing his or her assigned tasks, or which might in all probability tend to cause any such member to injure himself, herself or others or otherwise cause him or her to become physically or mentally disabled. The police surgeon may refer members of the Division of Police to such medical specialists whom in his or her opinion are necessary to determine the physical and mental capabilities of such members.
The Director of Public Safety shall take appropriate action in cases of physical or mental disability or impairment, as is within his or her authority and according to his or her lawful duty.
