When a member leaves without pay or is separated from the department, what legal document can they receive?

When a member leaves without pay or is separated from the department, they can receive a subpoena. A subpoena is a legal document that orders an individual to appear in court or produce documents, and is often used in legal proceedings to compel a person's presence or the submission of evidence.

In the context of a member leaving the department, a subpoena may pertain to ongoing investigations or legal actions that involve the member's previous service. It serves to ensure that relevant individuals are available to provide testimony or documents that may be critical to a case, particularly if their departure intersects with legal matters or investigations related to their conduct or work.

Other documents such as summons, notices of violation, or court orders do not specifically pertain to the situation of a member leaving the department. A summons typically refers to an order to appear in court issued by a court or authority, while a notice of violation indicates a breach of rules or laws but is not inherently linked to employment separation. A court order is a directive from the court requiring specific actions, but it is not typically issued in relation to a member's voluntary separation or leave from a department.
