The position lost by this removal shall be filled under the requirements of Section <br /> 3.02, et.al. and shall be subject to personnel availability. <br /> Section 3.07. Alternates. In cases of injury or medical leave, the commander of a Metro <br /> Unit may request an alternate officer to be assigned from the SBPD as a temporary or part-time <br /> assignment, with the SBPD bearing all expenses of the alternate officer.

The alternate officer will be allowed to train and work <br /> with the Metro Unit subject to any duty restrictions he or she is under. <br /> Section 3.08. Bi-Annual Review of Needs. The SBPD agrees to review and evaluate its <br /> personnel needs and its Metro Unit assignments on at least a bi-annual basis. The bi-annual review <br /> should include an analysis of personnel distribution, staff needs or shortages, types of cases <br /> handled, and efficiency of case investigation flow. The Metro Units agree to provide a monthly <br /> statistical classification update to the SBPD for reporting to the Board of Public Safety and other <br /> agencies as required by state and federal law. <br /> Section 3.09 "Investigators." SBPD officers assigned to the Metro Units will be referred <br /> to as "Investigators." Some Investigators may also function as crime scene technicians, or <br /> other roles as the need arises. The designation of"Investigator"or any additional roles,titles, or <br /> responsibilities within a Metro Unit does not equate to or necessitate a promotion or salary <br /> increase from the SBPD. The day-to-day supervision and administrative control over the <br /> Investigators, with respect to the Metro Unit investigations and prosecutions,will be the <br /> responsibility of the Metro Unit commander and/or the assistant commander. With regard to <br /> matters related to the Metro Unit,the Investigators will also be subject to the Metro Unit <br /> regulations and policies including those related to tactics,investigative procedures, and <br /> performance.

Each SBPD Investigator shall remain subject to SBPD supervision and policies, <br /> with direct supervision to be administered by the Commander or Assistant Commander of the <br /> Metro Unit. Each SBPD Investigator shall report to the SBPD regarding matters including,but not <br /> limited to caseload size, directions concerning policies and procedures that are given by the <br /> Investigative Bureau of the SBPD, including matters related to standards of conduct, sexual <br /> harassment,and equal opportunity. Failure to comply with any of the foregoing may result in the <br /> Investigator's removal from the Metro Unit. Administrative advisories, recommendations, <br /> commendations or complaints regarding officers assigned to Metro Units will be directed to the <br /> SBPD in a timely manner so that the SBPD may determine what, if any, investigation is required, <br /> and act accordingly. <br /> Section 3.10. Overtime. The parties understand that SBPD officers assigned to the Metro <br /> Unit may have "on-call" responsibilities and may be required to work after-hours to conduct <br /> investigations. The Chief or his/her designee will coordinate with the Metro Unit commander to <br /> set overtime guidelines. The Chief will review overtime usage on a monthly basis. If the Chief <br /> sets a specific limit on the number of overtime hours which may be worked, overtime hours <br /> surpassing that number set by the Chief will not be approved. The Chief or his/her designee will <br /> notify the Metro Unit commander if budgetary concerns arise or there is need to reduce the <br /> number of overtime hours previously established by the Chief. <br /> Page 5 <br />
