Is it possible for a retired police officer to return to the police force where he worked as a community support officer because of his back pain?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Chawla v Lambright, 2017 BCSC 1884 (CanLII):

As well, it is probable that he will not be able to take a new job in another police department as he did when he left the RCMP because his back pain will make him less marketable particularly when such employment is likely to have some physical component to it. (Sevinski v. Vance, 2011 BCSC 892 at paras. 104-105).
