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.
