.Memorandum of Understanding - III

RE: Article 11 - Section Four

Reference is made to the provision of Article 11, Section 4. The parties reaffirm their commitment to provide, whenever possible, for the assignment of at least two officers to those incidents in which there is a recognized threat of violence. At the same time they acknowledge that assignment of two officers

may in fact be unnecessary when sufficient alternatives provide a comparable measure of safety. For example, the transportation of a prisoner may not, in all cases, demand use of two officers, particularly where movement is within a sterile environment(s) or where other facts, such as prisoner age or physical condition, availability and/or use of handcuffs, leg irons and in place restraint are sufficient to insure officer safety in the situation.

In any case however, management shall fully and sympathetically consider the stated concerns of the effected employee.
