You are hereby ordered to answer the questions which are put to you which relate to your conduct and/or job performance and to cooperate with this investigation. Your failure to cooperate with this investigation can be the subject of disciplinary action in and of itself, including dismissal.

Section 2 - Bill of Rights. All employees within the bargaining unit shall be entitled to the protection of what shall hereafter be termed as the "Police Officers Bill of Rights." The wide ranging powers and duties given to the Department and its members involve them in all manner of contacts and - relationships with the public. Of these contacts come many questions concerning the actions of members of the force. These questions often require an immediate investigation by superior officers designated by the Chief of Police. In an effort to ensure that these investigations are conducted in a manner which is conducive to good order and discipline, the following guidelines are promulgated. (a) Notification of formal internal investigation. Within forty-eight (48) hours after the Department assigns an internal investigation number to an administrative investigation, any employee who is the subject of the complaint shall be informed in writing of the nature of the investigation, and advised of the rights of the employee unless notification may prejudice the integrity of the investigation. Any employee who is the subject of the -11 YPPA Collective Bargaining Agreement January 1, 2012 — December 31, 2013 complaint shall be informed in writing of the nature of the investigation and advised of the rights of the employee at least twenty -four (24) hours before any interview of the employee begins. The affected employee may waive the requirement to wait twenty - four (24) hours. Written notice shall include sufficient information necessary to reasonably apprise the employee of the allegations of such complaint. No employee will be interviewed over a subject that the employerknows or should know will result in an economic sanction without providing the notice required by this subsection.

If the employee objects to tape recording the interview, a court stenographer will be used and the expenses for stenography and transcription with two copies will be divided equally between the City and the employee as a condition of employment. The employee's portion of those expenses shall be deducted from his /her next paycheck. Upon mutual agreement between the City and the Association representative, including agreement on the placement of the audio- visual equipment, the interview of an employee may be audio - visually recorded. The City will provide a copy of the audio- visual recording to the Association representative inunediately or within twelve (12) hours following the completion of the interview. (c) Any interview of an employee shall be at a reasonable hour, preferably when the employee is on duty, unless the exigencies of the investigation dictate otherwise. Where practicable, interviews shall be scheduled for the day time. The interview, which shall not violate the employee's constitutional rights, shall take place at the Yakima Police Station facility, except where impractical. The employee shall be afforded the opportunity and facilities to contact and consult privately with an attorney of the employee's own choosing and /or a representative of the Association. Said employee's attorney and /or Association representative and/or Association attorney may be present during the interview but shall not participate in the interrogation except to counsel the employee, provided that the Association representative, employee attorney or Association attorney may participate to the extent permitted by the law. (d) The questioning shall not be overly long and the employee shall be entitled reasonable intermissions as the employee shall request for personal necessities, meals, telephone calls and rest periods. (e) Prior to the disclosure of investigation made in subsection (g) of this section, the employee shall not be subjected to any offensive language, nor shall the employee be threatened with dismissal, transfer, or other disciplinary punishment as a guise to obtain the resignation of the employee nor shall the employee be intimidated in any manner. No promises or reward shall be made as an inducement to answer questions. This provision does not apply to probationary employees. (f) It shall be unlawful for the City to require any employee covered by this agreement to take or be subj ected to any polygraph or any polygraph type of examination as the condition of continued or continuous employment or to avoid any threatened disciplinary action. -12- YPPA Collective Bargaining Agreement January 1, 2012 — December 31, 2013 (g) Disclosure of Investigation. Except in the event good cause, investigations shall be completed within sixty (60) days. An employee who is the subject of an investigation shall be provided written notice if the investigation is not concluded within sixty (60) calendar days of the notification given per Article 11, Section 2 (a). The notice shall include a projected completion date and a brief description of the good cause basis for the delay. After the first notice, the employee shall be provided farther notice of extensions at thirty day intervals. The proceeding requirement does not apply to criminal investigations. No later than five (5) business days (Monday through Friday) prior to a pre - disciplinary hearing, the employee shall be advised of the results of the investigation and the recommended disposition and shall be furnished a complete copy of the investigation report, provided that the Employer is not required to release statements made by persons requesting confidentiality where the request was initiated by such persons, and provided further, such confidential statements may not be relied upon to form the basis of discipline.

The employee and any representative of the employee are prohibited from contacting any witnesses or complainants in the investigation until such time as the disclosure of investigation described in this subsection occurs.

(d) An employee's refusal to give consent to search shall not preclude the Department from conducting a search according to and in the manner authorized by law. H. TESTING PROCEDURES Drug and alcohol testing shall be conducted in a manner designed to protect employees' privacy, protect the integrity of the testing process, safeguard the validity of test results, and ensure that those results are attributed to the correct employee. The City and Association agree that if the security of a urine, breath, or blood sample is compromised in any way, any positive test resulting from that sample shall be invalid and may not be used for any purpose except to the extent the employer can prove the employee spoiled the test. 2. Employees who are required to undergo a reasonable suspicion drug and /or alcohol test will be provided transportation to the collection facility and shall also be offered transportation home by the Department representative. 3. Employees may have an Association representative present at the collection facility for a reasonable suspicion drug and /or, alcohol test. However, the lack of Association representation shall not unreasonably delay the collection process. 8 4. Employees required to undergo a drug and /or alcohol test shall cooperate fully in the collection process and complete all required forms and documents. These forms may include a Consent /Release form and an Interview Form. 5. Urine samples for drug testing shall be collected at a collection site in the • City of Yakima mutually selected by the City and Association. The urine sample is produced by the employee alone in a restroom. The medical technologist will examine the rest before and after to ensure that no other samples were present and that no substances were available for tampering. Each sample shall be subjected to a laboratory testing protocol to detect tampering. The medical technologist will take the sample, seal it, la.bel it with the employee's identification, and sign a document that begins a formal chain -of- possession procedure. Each person who handles the sample, including the person. who performs the tests, will sign the document. When not being handled, samples are stored in a locked refrigerator. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that samples do not get switched during testing. Any specimen that tests positive for drugs shall be retained in long -term frozen storage by the laboratory conducting the analysis for one year. 6. If medical personnel at the collection site have reason to believe that an adulterated or substituted sample has been provided (or that the employee may alter or substitute the sample), the employee will be required to submit a second sample (or an original sample, in the case of an employee providing a substituted sample). This collection shall be sunder the direct observation of a same gender collection site staff person. The employee will be required to provide the additional or original sample during an observed collection prior to leaving the collection site, 7. Urinalysis will' be performed at a test laboratory certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Hunan Services (DHI-IS) and mutually selected by the City and the Association. Dru.g testing by urinalysis involves an initial screening performed by the enzyme multiplied immunoassay test (EMI'T). Any positives test is then confirmed by a second test of the saline sample by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC /MS). Prescription information will not be requested from an employee prior to laboratory testing, The City's designated MRO shall receive and interpret test results. Laboratory urinalysis of urine specimens shall be restricted to those test authorized by this policy to detect drug use. They shall not be used for other purposes such as the analysis of physiological.. states or diseases. The laboratory shall test for only the substances and within the limits as follows for the initial and -- confirmation tests: -- 9 Initial Tests Alcoho1.02 g/210 ml expired air Marijuana metabolites 50 ng/ml Cocaine metabolites 300 ng /ml Opiate metabolites (1) 300 ng /ml Phencyclidine 25 ng /inl Amphetamines 1000 ng /ml (1) If immunoassay is specific for free morphine the initial test level is 25 ng /ml. Confirmation Test Alcohol.02 g/210 ml expired air Marijuana metabolites 15 ng /ml Cocaine metabolites 150 ng/ml Opiates Morphine 300 ng /ml Codeine 300 ng/ml 6- acetylmorph ne 10 ng /ml Phencyclidine 25 ng /ml Amphetamines Amphetamine r 500 ng /mI Methamphetamine 500 ng /ml 8. Alcohol shall be tested by means of a Breathalyzer machine currently in use (B.A.C.) or future equipment which may supersede the B.A.C. machine (but excludes the P.B.T, device). Breathalyzer alcohol tests shall be conducted in private at the collection site mutually selected by the City and the Association. The testing shall require two breath samples within the proper variance. If the initial test (comprised of the two breath samples) indicates an alcohol concentration of .02 or greater, the employee may choose to allow a second test to confirm the results. The second confirmatory test shall be by means of a blood draw using a .02 blood alcohol concentration level to measure a positive test. If the employee chooses not to take the second confirmatory test, the first test will be used to determine alcohol concentration. 9. Upon written request to the Human Resource Manager by the employee, the City shall make one legible copy of the results of his /her drug and /or alcohol tests available to the employee. 10 • 10. All information collected in the process of conducting a drug and /or alcohol test shall be treated as confidential information. These files shall be separate from the personnel file, sealed, and maintained in a secure medical file. Except as required by law or authorized by the employee, the City shall not release such records. Test results obtained pursuant to this policy shall not be used as the basis for criminal investigation. 11. Employees who refuse or fail to fully cooperate in the collection process may be subject to discipline up to and including discharge. Examples of a failure to fully cooperate include such actions as refusing to sign. the .necessary consent /release forms; delaying and /or obstructing the collection process; failing to provide the specimen for testing; and attempting to substitute or adulterate a specimen. The foregoing list is not intended to be an all - inclusive list.

The IvRO must examine alternate medical explanations for any positive test results. This process 11 shall include a request for an interview with the affected employee and review of the employee's medical history and any other relevant biomedical factors. The MRO must review all medical records made available by the tested employee when a confirmed positive test could have resulted from legally prescribed medication.

Grievance. The laboratory and /or the MRO will be authorized to release specific test results to the City and the Association in cases of a grievance and /or legal challenge. J. DISCIPLINE AND TERMINATION 1. Employees who violate the drug and alcohol policy will be subject to a range of disciplinary consequences depending upon the severity of the violation, the employee's past performance record, and other relevant facts and circumstances.

The City recognizes that substance abuse can be successfully treated, enabling an employee to return to satisfactory job performance. The City offers employees the use of counseling and rehabilitative services in accordance with the terms of its benefit programs, including the City EAP. Employees are personally responsible for seeking treatment for substance abuse and are responsible for all costs not covered by insurance or otherwise paid for by the City. Employees who are concerned about their own drug use and/or alcohol abuse are encouraged to voluntarily seek assistance through the City's EAP. All such voluntary requests for 13 assistance will remain confidential. 3. Rehabilitation a.

The SAP will communicate these dates to the Human Resources Manager, who will inform the appropriate Police Department supervisory personnel to schedule these dates with the employee. The appointment for the collection will be made in advance and maintained in a confidential manner by the Department until the day of collection. The Department shall provide the supervisor with adequate notice of the test dates. The employee will not be notified until just prior to the testing. The employee may request an Association representative to accompany him/her to the collection site, provided the sample is collected without unreasonable delay. c.
