What does limited capacity mean for a UMOS?

• A. When a UMOS cannot perform duties due to injury or illness, he can perform non-enforcement duties
• B. When you can only perform enforcement duties
• C. When you are allowed only administrative tasks
• D. When you are on leave

Answer: (A)

Limited capacity refers to a temporary light-duty status for a UMOS who cannot perform full duties due to injury or illness. In this arrangement, the officer remains at work but takes on non-enforcement tasks that fit their current abilities, rather than performing active policing duties. This keeps the member contributing while they recover and avoids risking safety or safety of others. It isn’t about being on leave, nor is it limited to enforcement or strictly administrative work; instead, it encompasses any non-enforcement duties appropriate to the officer’s condition, such as desk work, reports, processing, training, or other suited tasks.
