- The F-165 form must be completed and forwarded by the officer on duty.

Assign Hire Days Protocol

Reporting Sick:
- Members reporting sick on an assign hire day must see a physician the same day.
- Obtain a medical treatment certificate (F-1001) detailing the illness and work restrictions.

Key Definitions

Consecutive Calendar Day:
- Refers to each day an employee is unable to work due to illness or injury, starting at 0800 hours and concluding at 2000 hours for platoon personnel.

Securing Medical Care

While on Duty:
- Officers should arrange necessary care at the member's expense in emergencies or treatment with a private physician otherwise.
While off Duty:
