How long do reserve officers have to report an injury?

Reserve officers are required to report an injury within 48 hours to ensure timely processing of the injury report and to facilitate appropriate medical care. This timeframe is critical for maintaining the integrity of the reporting system and ensures that the necessary documentation is completed promptly. Reporting an injury within this period allows for accurate assessments of the incident and helps the department manage any potential duty-related claims effectively. Adhering to this timeline reinforces the importance of accountability and safety within the policing environment.
