Study Notes

Transfers of Members

The Kansas City Missouri Police Department has a policy for transfers of members, effective from November 28, 2018.
The policy provides guidelines for different types of transfers, including voluntary, involuntary, administrative, pool, and temporary hardship transfers.

Voluntary Transfers

Members can request a voluntary transfer to another watch, element, or position by submitting a Form 4 P.D. through the chain of command to the HRD.
Members can remain on other existing eligibility pool lists for specialized positions.
A member who accepts a voluntary transfer will be ineligible for a further voluntary transfer to another watch or division station for 12 months.
The member's position on other transfer lists will remain the same.

Involuntary Transfers

Members will be provided a notice of at least 7 calendar days before the transfer occurs, if possible.
The member must be able to perform the essential functions of the position to which they are transferred.
The member's transfer will be subject to the need of the receiving bureau.
Members may initiate a grievance of the involuntary transfer.

Administrative Transfers

An administrative transfer is a temporary change in unit of assignment not requested by a member, made pending completion of an investigation or any potential disciplinary action.
The transfer is made to facilitate the investigation or disciplinary action.

Pool Transfers

A member assigned to the leave pool may be skipped or denied for a voluntary transfer unless the anticipated return to regular duty is expected to be within the next 28 calendar days or unless otherwise required by law.
A pool transfer is made when a member has been on leave for more than 28 consecutive calendar days.

Temporary Hardship Transfers

A temporary hardship transfer is a temporary change in unit of assignment requested by a member, necessitated by an unforeseen event beyond a member's reasonable control, creating an excessive burden on the member and for which an alternative assignment is warranted.
The transfer request must be submitted with a Form 191 P.D. outlining the factual basis in support of the hardship transfer request.
The temporary hardship transfer will remain effective for a maximum of 6 months, unless a longer period is mutually agreed upon.
