Internal disciplinary action as represented in this chart is in line with the RTU Infraction & Quality Control policy and Performance Disciplinary policy. Please note that this is internal and works alongside Internal Affairs. An IA complaint will still be submitted in cases where such is appropriate.
Categories
Categories
There are two categories of disciplinary within RTU; Conventional and Observation Reports. Observation Reports Disciplinaries are governed by the Performance Disciplinary policy and are followed as shown above.
Conventional
Conventional
Conventional Disciplinary may be enacted based on performance and conduct issues, or following external disciplinary action for example by IA or a supervisor. The 3 initial levels of Conventional concern are graded 4, 3 and 2:
Grade 4: Low-Level Concerns
Grade 3: Substantive Concerns
Grade 2: Serious Concerns
Each Grade carries its own level of response according to the level of concern. When RTU becomes aware of an issue, it will be graded accordingly. Issues will be graded based on previous disciplinary action or experience if it is felt that is a relevant factor.
When Traffic Command holds an overwhelmingly great concern and/or an officer has failed to improve after having been put through either the Conventional or Observation Reports Disciplinary process, it becomes Grade 1 where Adverse Actions are put into place.
Traffic Command reserves the right to grade a problem at what level we unanimously feel it equates to. This could mean immediate Grade 1 in rare cases.
Types of Punishment
Types of Punishment
There are different types of punishment that may be enacted, some of which are not considered punishment but are listed here for the sake of continuity.
Observation Reports

First Warning - Written Warning based on OR concerns. Active for 3 months.
Final Warning - Second Written Warning based on OR concerns. Active for 6 months.
