TELETYPE #16-0197 SEPARATION FROM SERVICE
Members are reminded that upon separation from service with the Detroit Police Department, all
department issued equipment must be returned and a final clearance receipt obtained from the
Human Resources Bureau. Members will not receive their final lump sum payment for entitled
banked time without notification that all department equipment has been returned.
All department members shall adhere to Detroit Police Manual Directive 401.9, Separation from Service, which outlines the policy and procedure for all separations as follows:
Directive 401.9-4.1 “Clearances”, states, in part, “Resigning/retiring members shall personally surrender all department issued equipment on or prior to their last working day. The member shall receive a signed receipt from each location for surrendered equipment.”
Directive 401.9-42, “Final Pay Out”, states, in part, “After all equipment is accounted for, Police Personnel will conduct a brief interview with the resigning, retiring member. Police Personnel will then prepare and convey to Police Payroll a memorandum authorizing them to release payment for all outstanding balances due to the separated member.”
Members who have questions regarding clearance receipts should contact Police Personnel at
(313) 596-2810. Members with questions regarding final lump sum payments should contact
Police Payroll at (313) 870-2734.
