Section F

SECTION F

Section F's are for both extreme circumstances when the APD staff have lost confidence in a CPT, and for when a CPT’s performance is no longer sufficient in the eyes of the APD staff.

Lieutenants/Sergeants shall attempt to bring any issues they may have to the Captain in question before moving forward with a Section F.

To Start Section F proceedings:

1. A minimum of 50% of Lt/Sgts must be willing to sign a petition outlining their grievances with the Captain. (This initial petition will be anonymous)
2. That petition will be delivered to the Senior Admins.
3. A mandatory meeting will be conducted by the Senior Admins with all active Lieutenants/Sergeants and the Captain in question to discuss the grievances.

Stipulations:

As a Lieutenant/Sergeant you must be present at the meeting to have your voice and vote counted.

Section F Meeting Procedures:

1. All parties should be given a chance to air their grievances and explain their side fully.

1. The vote against the current CPT will be totaled as follows

1. Lieutenant vote will count as 1
2. Sergeant vote will count as 0.5
3. In order for a Section F to pass a supermajority of 66% or higher of the Lieutenants/Sergeants must vote to remove the Captain, with SA approval.

2. Should the Section F fail, another cannot be brought against the same captain for 30 days.

3. Should the Section F pass.

1. The Captain will be reassigned to either Retired LT or Retired CPT at the discretion of the Lts/Sgts with SA approval

• General guidelines

1. CPTs who have done something egregious are placed to Retired LT
2. CPTs who served <6 months and their performance is no longer sufficient are placed to Retired Lt
3. CPTs who served >6 months and their performance is no longer sufficient may be placed to Retired CPT.

• All active Lieutenants and Sergeants will then immediately vote for the next Captain. The vote for the next CPT will be totaled as follows:

1. Lieutenant vote will count as 1.0 point
2. Sergeant vote will count as 0.5 point
3. >50% is required to send the vote to Senior Admins for final approval
4. If <50% vote for a single candidate the selection process will default back to the remaining 2 Captains and Senior Admins.
