Common use of Wearing of Uniform Clause in Contracts

Wearing of Uniform. 1. Uniforms provided by the City shall be worn in the performance of assigned job duties and when traveling to and from work, including incidental stops. A uniform may be worn for other purposes upon written request and prior approval of the Chief of Police, or designee. 2. Sworn employees will always have all their officer safety equipment with them when operating a Department-assigned vehicle out of uniform as approved by the Chief of Police or designee. 3. The Association may request its members to appear in uniform and participate in Association-related functions with prior written notice and approval by the Chief of Police, or designee. 4. Nothing in this Section precludes non-sworn employees from wearing clothes with the authorized Department logo. Such clothing shall be the responsibility of the employee and not provided by the Department. 5. Prescription eyeglasses, clothing and other personal items that are, or have been, approved by the Chief of Police, or designee that are damaged or destroyed in the line of duty (not as a result of the employee's negligence) shall be repaired or replaced at market value by the City except where such property is covered by insurance; in which event, the City shall be responsible for that portion of the repair or replacement cost not compensated by insurance.
