Membership
Certification policy
Applicants for positions
requiring a license will be considered for membership only after they have submitted
verification of their certification and have completed the probationary period.
The department requires that
any certification required for any membership position be verified on an annual
basis. The Department will prevent the performance of any duties requiring
licensure by any member who does not have a current, valid license.
Documentation of
the member current certification will be July 1st of each year.
A member has the obligation
to notify the Chief of any action taken by any licensing agency or any
credentialing body, which might result in the revocation or suspension of the
certification. The member must notify the department within 15 days of any such
activity.
Failure of a member to comply with the above could constitute grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination.
