				have been allocated. Such restoration shall first be taken out of forfeitures
				which have not been allocated and if such forfeitures are insufficient to
				restore such person's account balance, restoration shall be made by an Employer

				officer is arrested for a crime or ordinance violation, not a felony, and
				depending on the situation, the commander or watch commander of the district or
				any officers acting in that capacity has the choice of administratively

				private security section, who will determine whether or not the private
				security officer is to be suspended. If unable to contact the commander of the
				private security section, the report of the incident will be forwarded to the
				private security section at the earliest opportunity.
(B) Whenever a licensed private security
				officer is administratively suspended it will be required that the private
				security officer surrender his/her badge/identification card until a decision
				is made for its return by the commander of the private security section or a
				disposition is rendered by the board of police commissioners.

				cause for discipline is apparent, the private security officer's return to duty
