The City agrees to recognize the Toledo Police Patrolman's Association, Local 10, (hereinafter referred to as the Association), as having jurisdiction over and being the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for employees of the City working in the classifications that are listed in Section 2129.02 herein for the purpose of establishing wages, hours of work, other terms and conditions of employment, and handling of grievances. The City shall not negotiate with, nor make any collective bargaining agreement or contract with any other employee group or with any of the employees working in classifications covered by this agreement, individually or collectively. All agreements entered into between the City and the employees covered by this agreement shall be through duly authorized representatives of the Association. Any other agreement shall be of no effect.
The classifications included within this bargaining unit, and their eligibility for representation and benefits shall be as follows:
(a) Police Officer Trainee: All newly hired trainees shall complete the Ohio State Peace Officers Training Council Minimum Standard Training Program prior to being assigned to any regular police duties. At the conclusion of the training period, the Trainee who has successfully completed the training course shall then be classified as a Police Officer Probationary and will be assigned regular police duties. When O.P.O.T.A. (Ohio Police Officer Training Academy) certified employees are hired, they as well shall be considered Trainee Police Officer until their assignment as a Police Officer Probationary commences. Upon completion of the Police Officer Trainee Program the employee will receive the first step wage increase. No Trainee shall be assigned to any regular police duties nor receive any fringe benefits other than Hospitalization and Death Benefit during the Academy training period.
Upon the employee having successfully completed the training period in the Police Academy, he/she shall then be entitled to full fringe benefits. The Association shall represent a new employee upon satisfactory completion of the Academy. However, the Association shall not represent the employee in an issue pertaining to the acceptance or rejection of the employee during the Probationary Period.
All O.P.O.T.A. Certified employees, laterally hired, shall be released from the Academy for an orientation with the Association. This shall occur two (2) days or more prior to the completion of the Academy, and shall be accomplished at the Association's facility at a time agreed upon by the Police Administration and the Toledo Police Patrolman's Association.
(b) Police Officer - Probationary: All appointed employees shall serve a probationary period of one (1) year of duty in actual police service after successful completion of the Police Academy, or such longer period as agreed upon by the Director of Police Operations and the Toledo Police Patrolman's Association to allow for an extended full evaluation of Probationary Employee. They shall have no seniority during this probationary period, but upon completion of this year, their seniority date shall be established as the original date of employment.
Absence from work for any reason, except schooling required by law, shall not be included in calculating an employee's one (1) year probationary period, but in no event shall a probationary employee become permanent until he has completed one hundred eighty (180) work days of actual police service.
The City may discharge an employee at any time during the employee's training or probationary periods and a statement of the reason(s) for such discharge shall be submitted to the employee. The provisions of this section shall apply only to employees in their initial probationary period or any mutually agreed upon extension.
(c) Police Officer: Employees upon the completion of the probationary period shall be classified as police officers and will be known as permanent employees. Their training and probationary periods shall then be counted for purposes of determining their entitlement to all fringe benefits, as well as their continuous service date in the event of layoff.
The Association shall be the exclusive bargaining agent to address a new police class. This is to occur at some time between the 130th and 150th days of their employment while they are in attendance at the police academy, for the purpose of informing new employees of the existence of the Association and their functions as representatives of employees.
(d) Sergeant-At-Arms: The position of Sergeant-At-Arms will be selected from the rank of Police Officers. The Sergeant-At-Arms shall be selected by the City Council and his/her duties shall be exclusive to the business of the Mayor and City Council. In the event of holidays not covered within this agreement, said duties shall be defined by the Chief of Police.
(A) Police Officers who are assigned to this program will be called Field Training Officers (herein referred to as F.T.O.), however, the police officers shall retain the classification of Police Officer for all provisions of this agreement. All police officers who are selected to participate within this program will be assigned as an F.T.O. on an individual voluntary basis only.
(B) The entry criteria into the Field Training Program shall be:
1. The applicant must have a minimum of three (3) years of continuous seniority with the Department at the time of selection. Officers who do not meet this minimum requirement but have prior police experience or exceptional abilities may be considered.
2. The applicant must have been assigned to Field Operations for at least six (6) months prior to date of application.
3. Successful applicants must be available for regular patrol beat assignments for the duration of the process.
4. The applicant must have a commitment to the training and development of new officers.
5. The applicant must be willing to work overtime to accomplish training and evaluation duties when necessary.
(C) Field Training Officers shall be selected by a committee to be composed of five (5) representatives: two (2) from the current Field Training Officers to be appointed by the Association; one (1) Field Training Sergeant; the Field Training Commander; and the Personnel Captain.
The FTO Selection Committee will consider the following criteria:
1. Performance evaluation by current supervisor and Commander.
3. Attendance record.
4. Prior work product review (i.e. Incident reports, OH-1, and supplemental reports).
5. Prior performance as an FTO (where applicable).
6. Writing sample based upon a defined circumstance.
7. A personal interview before the selection committee to include a problem solving exercise.
(D) After interviewing all the candidates, the selection committee shall carefully consider all the factors presented and produce a list of FTO nominees. When everything is equal between two candidates, the officer most senior shall be the one nominated by the committee.
After the selection, all successful FTO candidates will undergo either basic, or refresher FTO training. Those successfully completing the training will be certified eligible for actual FTO service and benefits.
(E) Once an officer is a certified FTO, regardless if he/she is in actual training, he/she will receive a five (5%) percent adjusted gross wage annually, payable in the 26 regular pay periods. The adjusted gross wage will not be considered as a new base wage rate. The five (5%) percent payment is also independent of the consideration provided in Section 2129.32, "Career Enhancement Program."
(F) The officer will retain FTO certification except where there are general changes of assignment, the officer chooses to withdraw from the Field Training Program, or where there is just cause for removal.
(G) Cause for removal shall be directly related to one or more of those criterion used in the selection process as listed in 2129.03 (B) and (C). Removal of certification may be authorized only by the Chief of Police (or his designee) upon either the recommendation of the Selection Committee or as a result of the disciplinary process.
All employees shall be required to provide the Department with their current address and phone number upon accepting employment and to update this information annually and/or at any other time in which a change occurs.
The City will furnish the Association with a list of all new employees, their address and phone number upon completion of their thirtieth (30th) calendar day of employment with the Department of Police.
Upon the employee's completion of the training period, the City will furnish the Association with a list of the duty assignments of the new employees.
The City will provide the Association, upon notification, the change in address or phone number of the new employees in order that the Association will be able to discharge its responsibilities.
