D. Re-acclimation Process
In addition to the training and certification issues covered above in this policy, the Internal Support
Section Commander will coordinate the employee's re-acclimation process, which is designed to
provide an incremental and staged re-entry process. This may include, but is not limited to, the
following components:
1. Short term assignment with a senior officer/detective, or FTO to allow the employee to serve in
the capacity as a back-up officer, and re-familiarize himself with current procedure through
methods, such as:
a. Participation in the Ride Along program to allow familiarization with the employee's
reporting assignment area and other areas of the City, including identification of persons of
interest, trends, etc.
b. Reintroduction to reporting procedures, if applicable.
2. A debrief with the Department's psychological services provider to giving the opportunity for the
employee to speak about any concerns or counseling which may assist with the employee's
reintegration from a combat to a police or family environment.
NOTE: This debrief is not a psychological evaluation, but another tool provided to the returning
employee. It is not an optional step, and must be completed prior to the employee's
reassignment.
3. Upon completion of the steps outlined by the employee's checklist (NNPD Form #303), the
Internal Support Section commander shall generate a memo indicating that the employee has
received all needed training and equipment, completed the re-acclimation process, and
recommending the employee's return to full, active duty status. This form shall be forwarded
through the chain of command for approval by the employee's bureau commander, and the Chief
of Police.
