2 FOREWORD This publication is dedicated to the notion that a professional police organization must be the operated within the rules of law and guided by clearly established rules and regulations. Each member is and should be treated as an individual and allowed certain discretion; however, all members must recognize the need for uniformly acceptable conduct. The integrity of the Department rests with the actions of its members. This manual is a guideline to assist with the regulation of conduct. Our community s perception of its Police Department rests upon the competence and ethical deportment of our officers and staff. These procedures will help to ensure that public trust is well placed. These rules and regulations are adopted in the interest of discipline and efficient police service and are not intended to create higher standards then imposed by law. Since it is impossible to anticipate every situation that may arise or to prescribe a specific course of action in each scenario, all members are expected to exercise common sense and good judgment in the delivery of Department services. In summary, this manual is to be used as a guide to consistently do the right thing for the community, as long as it is safe, legal, and ethical. Policies are subject to being amended, revoked, or revised at any time as the needs of the agency may require. Please notify the Standards and Planning Division if any area of this manual needs correction or if there are suggestions or comments for future issues. Any assistance is appreciated.
