The department makes every effort to ensure the safety of employees while on duty. The general rule applied in determining whether an employee was injured on duty is whether the injury occurred within the course and scope of employment. Each instance will be investigated and evaluated by city risk management. The particular nature of the service rendered by the employee will be considered. The department will make reasonable efforts to accommodate persons injured on duty with a light duty assignment. The department reserves the right to reevaluate the officers medical status at any time and to make appropriate changes to duty assignments as necessary and available.
