San Leandro Municipal Code Art. 6 Leaves of Absence, Suspension, and Termination

If an extended leave of absence (more than a month) is needed, a request shall be made in writing. If approved, the reserve shall turn in their badge and identification card to their sergeant. These items will be returned upon their return to service.

(a) If the absence will extend past a three month period, a resignation will be requested. The reserve shall turn in all issued uniforms and equipment. The Reserve Officer may then reapply for admission to the Reserve Unit at such time they feel they may again meet the requirements and may be accepted if there are openings in the organization at that time.

(b) Not more than one leave of absence may be requested a year.

Reserve officers serve at the absolute pleasure of the Chief of Police and have no right whatsoever to continued service in such position. The Chief of Police may, at any time, with or without cause, and in their sole discretion, determine, with respect to any person otherwise qualified to act in the capacity of reserve officer, that such person shall no longer be called upon to render services to the City in such capacity.
