Members approve 207c benefits for officer injured in line of duty
Summary
Meeting members voted to grant '207c' benefits to an officer injured in the line of duty after a brief discussion about eligibility; the officer's name was not disclosed and members said he is expected to return to work Sunday.
Members at a clubhouse meeting voted to grant 207c benefits to a police officer who was injured in the line of duty.
The Chair introduced the item as "a motion to grant 207c benefits to a particular police officer injured in the line of duty." Members asked for clarification about what ‘‘207c’’ covers. The Chair and another participant said 207c is a state police benefit limited to police officers; the transcript records the benefit as part of state-level police rights and notes the board must pass a resolution to authorize payment through 207c. One committee member said the officer is expected to be back to work Sunday; the officer’s name was not disclosed in the record.
A motion was made and seconded; members voted in favor and the Chair said the motion carried. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote or numeric tally, nor does it specify the officer’s name or the duration or dollar value of benefits to be paid.
