When the force of the fire department or of the police  department is reduced, and positions displaced or abolished, seniority  shall prevail and the officers and members so reduced in rank, or removed  from the service of the fire department or of the police department shall  be considered furloughed without pay from the positions from which they  were reduced or removed.Such reductions and removals shall be in strict compliance with  seniority and in no event shall any officer or member be reduced more than  one rank in a reduction of force.

For purposes of determining which officers or members in the  lowest rank or position shall be removed from the Department in the event  of a layoff, length of service in the Department shall be the basis for  determining seniority, with the least senior such officer or member being  the first so removed and laid off.  Such officers or members laid off shall  have their names placed on an appropriate reemployment list in the reverse  order of dates of layoff.If any positions which have been vacated because of reduction in forces  or displacement and abolition of positions, are reinstated, such members  and officers of the fire department or of the police department as are  furloughed from the said positions shall be notified by the board by  registered mail of such reinstatement of positions and shall have prior  right to such positions if otherwise qualified, and in all cases seniority  shall prevail. Written application for such reinstated position must be  made by the furloughed person within 30 days after notification as above  provided and such person may be required to submit to examination by  physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, or physician assistants of both the board of fire and police commissioners and the  appropriate pension board to determine his physical fitness.
