Civil Service Board approves military leave for three Miami police officers
The City of Miami Civil Service Board on Oct. 28 approved active‑duty military leave without pay for three Miami Police Department officers.

The board voted unanimously to grant the requests after motions by Board Member Jimenez and seconds by Board Member Lanier. The approvals were recorded on the board’s consent calendar as items C1 through C3.

C1 approved a request from Police Officer Jim Kadiston for military leave without pay effective Dec. 2, 2025, for a period of 365 days. C2 approved Police Sergeant Jimmy L. Rodriguez’s request for active‑duty military leave without pay beginning Oct. 7, 2025, for 119 days. C3 approved Police Officer John Romero’s request for active‑duty military leave without pay beginning Oct. 7, 2025, for 25 days. For each request the transcript notes a copy of military orders was submitted to the board.

The motions were made by Board Member Jimenez and seconded by Board Member Lanier; the roll call returned in the affirmative. The board did not identify any conditions or follow‑up tasks tied to the leaves during the Oct. 28 meeting.

The approvals were taken as routine personnel actions on the board’s consent calendar and recorded in the minutes.
