Explain how the ADA affects assignment decisions
What will be an ideal response?
The ADA impacts all areas of police operations including hiring, assignments and termination. A department that disqualifies a person because of a disability must show why the rejection is job related and consistent with business necessity. The department must also show why it can or cannot make a reasonable accommodation in order for the person to perform essential job functions. This becomes an issue for personnel who are disabled while on the job. Most lawsuits have been filed by police officers who are disabled and have not been able to return to work. However some departments – based on size – have been able to find positions in training, communications, intelligence analysis and other duties that do not require the use of all defined physical agility skills related to patrol and field investigations.
