Purchase of Service Handgun Sample Clauses
The 'Purchase of Service Handgun' clause allows an individual, typically a law enforcement officer, to buy their issued service handgun under specified conditions, such as upon retirement or after a certain period of service. This clause outlines the eligibility criteria, the process for determining the purchase price, and any necessary approvals or documentation required for the transaction. Its core function is to provide a clear and lawful mechanism for transferring ownership of a service weapon from the agency to the individual, ensuring compliance with legal and departmental policies while recognizing the officer's service.
Purchase of Service Handgun. When a police officer retires in good standing into a public retirement system and with five (5) years of service with the Columbus State Police Department, they may purchase their service handgun upon retirement for one dollar ($1.00). However, if a retirement is due to a psychiatric or psychological disability, or if the member is under an administrative or criminal investigation that could result in disciplinary action or criminal charges, they cannot purchase their service handgun. The police department procedure 22.1.3 (Employee Benefits Program) outlines this process.
Purchase of Service Handgun. A member who honorably retires from active duty may purchase his/her service handgun from the City and shall be entitled to receive a badge signifying the member’s retired status. The cost of the service handgun shall be $1.00. If a member is marked-off for a stress-related or psychological condition at the time of his/her retirement, he/she will not receive his/her service handgun and/or badge, unless the member provides the Chief with a statement within ninety (90) days after the member’s retirement from a psychiatrist or licensed psychologist that the member is competent to receive his/her service handgun and/or badge. If such a statement is provided to the Chief within ninety (90) days after the member’s retirement, the member shall be given the opportunity to purchase his/her service handgun and/or shall receive his/her badge. In the event that a member retires in a dishonorable status due to a pending administrative investigation, the member’s badge and gun will not be released. However, at the conclusion of said investigation, the Chief will make a final determination as to whether the badge and gun will be permanently withheld. The reasonableness of that decision shall be subject to the Grievance Procedure.
