The city currently has a rule that allows up to 5 days of paid mental health leave only for police officers
Council members plan to discuss the possibility of a new mental health leave policy during a Feb. 14 public safety committee meeting. The proposal came from Mayor Eric Johnson, citing city rules that cover up to five days of paid mental health leave only for police officers. “We must treat the mental health of our first responders as a top priority,” Johnson wrote in a memo Monday to council member Adam McGough, who chairs the public safety committee. “While this proposal and its impacts should be thoroughly vetted by the public safety committee, I believe it is important to begin this discussion as soon as possible.”
