Leave Of Absence

It is the Handler's Responsibility to inform the K-9 Command team if you are on Leave of Absense (LOA) or Reduction Of Activity (ROA). You must inform the command team before the LOA has taken affect and when the LOA has ended. - While on LOA/ROA you can not patrol as K-9. - When on LOA/ROA the same policy and guidelines apply for all subdivisions. For example, you are cannot be on LOA for K-9 and active for another division or patrol.

  • When you are coming off LOA regardless of reason all of your roles and permissions will be reapplied. If you are missing any, it is the responsibility of the person coming off the LOA to communicate if there are any issues with either.

  • Once you are back from LOA you have 48 hours to patrol. Your activity timer does not get reset, this is your responsibility.

  • Do not come off LOA unless you are ready to patrol within the 48 hour window.

Please also consider the same applies for Reduction Of Activity (ROA).
