In situations involving a special event where substantial numbers of officers are required to work on an overtime basis, and there is adequate planning time available, the following Special Event Recall Procedure will be utilized:
A request for volunteers will be distributed to the entire Department. Any officer who has a complete uniform, is fit for duty and whose regular assignment will not interfere with the overtime assignment, may volunteer to work.
In selecting officers to work this voluntary overtime, Department seniority will be used. First preference will be given to Officers regularly assigned to the Field Operations Bureau. If not enough officers have volunteered from the Field Operations Bureau, volunteers from the other bureaus will be used for the remainder of the positions.
If there are not enough volunteers to fill all the required positions, the remainder will be filled by canceling days off of officers within the Field Operations Bureau, on a reverse seniority basis, from among officers whose regular assignment will not interfere with the overtime assignment.
Officers who are on a regularly scheduled vacation shall be eligible for voluntary recall; however, these officers shall not be ordered to work recall.
Officers may not trade days with themselves for the purpose of becoming eligible for recall.
Officers recalled will be paid at a rate of time and one-half (1½) for the hours worked and shall receive a minimum of four (4) hours.
