A missed appointment or 15 minute or more late arrival requires

• A. Memo from shift commander to IA
• B. Formal reprimand
• C. Written notice to employee
• D. Call to employee's supervisor

Answer: (A)

Missing an appointment or arriving 15 minutes late is treated as a potential conduct issue that must be formally documented. A memo from the shift commander to Internal Affairs creates an official, auditable record and brings the matter to a higher level of review. This ensures accountability, keeps actions consistent with policy, and helps determine whether the incident is isolated or part of a pattern that may require further steps. It also maintains proper oversight and avoids jumping to a reprimand or written notice without the necessary investigation, or relying on a simple call to a supervisor that may not trigger formal review. In short, documenting the incident with a memo to Internal Affairs provides the appropriate process for oversight and any subsequent action.
