subsection (2) of this section.

67C.307, and 67C.309 who shall accept an appointment and qualify as chief of
police, assistant chief of police, or officer above the rank of captain shall be
deemed to have received a leave of absence from the classified service for and
during his or her service in either of these respective positions. Should any
chief of police, assistant chief of police, or officer above the rank of captain
cease to serve in that capacity, he or she shall be restored to the same
