Who typically requests a fitness-for-duty evaluation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The department head or a supervisor is typically the one who requests a fitness-for-duty evaluation to assess whether an officer is able to perform their job duties safely and effectively. It may also be initiated by a police psychologist or mental health professional who is treating the officer, but ultimately the request must come from the department or agency. Family members or officers themselves may express concerns about fitness for duty, but they cannot initiate the process on their own.
