|
| 9 | | summoned to appear before the board, and to submit to an |
| 10 | | examination
to determine fitness for duty. The
officer shall |

disability, the board shall certify to the chief of |

may be assigned to and shall perform |
| 18 | | such
duty without right to compensation as the chief of police |
| 19 | | or chief officer
of the municipality may
direct. This Section |
