Absence from work due to duty-related injury with maximum medical improvement or years is covered under which article and section?

• A. Article 32 Sec 7
• B. Article 33 Sec 1
• C. Article 33 Sec 2
• D. Article 36 Sec 2

Answer: (B)

This item tests where duty-related injuries and the resulting long-term or stabilized disability are addressed in the contract. When an officer is absent from work because of a duty-related injury and the injury has reached maximum medical improvement (MMI) or requires an extended period of time, the governing rules for that absence are found in Article 33, Section 1. That section specifically lays out disability leave for on‑duty injuries and defines the conditions under which the officer can remain off work due to that injury, including scenarios where the condition is stabilized (MMI) or involves an extended duration.

The other sections and articles cover different types of leave or benefits and do not match this particular duty-related disability scenario as closely. So the best fit for this situation is Article 33, Section 1.
