(b) Immediate attention shall be given to policy infractions.
(c) Discipline shall be applied uniformly and consistently throughout the City and any deviation from standard procedure must be documented.
(d) Each offense shall be dealt with as objectively as possible.
(e) Discipline shall be progressive as outlined in this section.
