| Article 48-General and special discharge hearings | ||
| 48.1 | General and special discharge hearings | |
| A general discharge hearing is a hearing called to hear the citations and service of a police officer prior to their retirement. The purpose of a general discharge hearing is to set any recommendations, awards or special benefits deemed appropriate upon a loyal police officer who has served their society. | ||
| 48.2 | Special discharge hearings | |
| A special discharge hearing is when a hearing is called upon a serious breach of the POlice Code and the conviction of any police officer of a level 3 or above criminal offence. | ||
| A special discharge hearing shall operate like a criminal hearing with a Police Judge, the rules of evidence and the right to a fair defense. | ||
| The result of a special discharge hearing is whether an officer is either honorably, or dishonorably discharged from the force. | ||
| An honorable discharge means the police officer is honored, in spite of their breach and/or crime with maintaining all awards, former rank, citations, pensions and benefits whereas a dishonorable discharge means the officer is stripped of all awards, honors, rank, pensions and benefits and their badge number shall never be used again by an serving police officer. | ||
