Amends/Supersedes: OCP 01-09 (10/19/2007) Date of Issue: 07/30/2021
I. GENERAL
A. Each sworn job and level has credited service or consecutive service requirements with the
City of Newport News Police Department which are stated in the job description for that job
and level. The Police Department鈥檚 transfer and promotion policies state service
requirements with the City of Newport News Police Department for various transfers and
promotions. These requirements assume continuous and unbroken service with the
Department. Any breaks in service may affect eligibility for transfer and promotion.
B. This policy addresses credited service, circumstances that constitute a break in service, and
how breaks in service affect eligibility for transfer and promotion.
II. PROCEDURE
A. Credited Service
1. Credited service for transfer and promotion purposes is stated in policy and in job
descriptions in terms of years of service in an active paid status.
2. A month of unbroken service is defined as a consecutive 30-day period; however, when
an employee鈥檚 breaks in service are intermittent, and when an employee has had breaks
in service for more than one reason, the final determination of eligibility for transfer or
promotion shall rest with the Chief of Police and the Director of the City Human
Resources Department.
B. Break in Service [34.1.5(c)]
Each of the following circumstances constitute a break in service for purposes of determining
eligibility for transfer and promotion:
1. Resignation, termination or retirement

for medical purposes beyond the period covered by the Family Medical Leave Act
(FMLA, 28 CFR Part 825).
5. Periods of alternative employment or light duty beyond the period covered by the FMLA
6. Any other non-paid absence beyond any period covered by the FMLA
