1. PROLOGUE AND INTRODUCTION 1.1 - Department Purpose and Core Values *Goal and purpose: "To serve and protect" *Core values: JUSTICE: Use of authority to uphold what is right, just and lawful EQUITY: Fair, impartial and equitable treatment of all people. INTEGRITY: Faithful performance of our duties and always doing the right thing for the right reason. HONESTY: Incorruptible character and truthfulness. ACCOUNTABILITY: Demonstrating responsibility in all activities. RESPECT: Treating others as we would like to be treated. DIVERSITY: Encouraging the participation of all people and the inclusion of diverse points of view. TEAMWORK: Achieving more through partnerships. INNOVATION: Encouraging creativity in the performance of our duties. COSTUMER SERVICE: Exceeding our customers expectations. 1.2 - Department Objective 1. Reverence for the Law The main thrust of a peace officers duties consists of an attempt to enforce the law. In our application of the law, we must do it within a legal spirit which was so clearly set forth by the framers of the Bill of Rights, an original part of our Constitution. That bill had as its purpose elevating the rights of each citizen to a position co-equal with the state which might accuse him. Its purpose was to provide for an enforcement of the law with fundamental fairness and equity. Because of the Bill of Rights, the dignity of the individual person in America was placed in an almost sacred position of importance. Peace Deputys enforcement should not be done in grudging adherence to the legal rights of the accused, but in a sincere spirit of seeking that every accused person is given all of his rights as far as it is within the powers of the Sheriff. In the discharge of our enforcement of criminal statutes, the peace Deputy must scrupulously avoid any conduct which would make him a violator of the law. The solution of a crime, or the arrest of a lawbreaker, can never justify the peace Deputy committing a felony as an expedient for the enforcement of the law. We peace officers should do our utmost to foster a reverence for the law. We can start best by displaying a reverence for the legal rights of our fellow citizens and a reverence for the law itself. 2. Crime Prevention Top Priority The basic mission for whom the Sheriff exists is to prevent crime and disorder as an alternative to repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. When the Sheriff fail to prevent crime, it becomes important to apprehend the person responsible for the crime and gather all evidence that might be used in a subsequent trial.

3. Public Approbation of Sheriff The ability of the Sheriff to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of Sheriff Existence, actions, behavior, and the ability of the Sheriff to secure and maintain public respect. 4. Voluntary Law Observance The Sheriff must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law in order to be able to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public. 5. Public Cooperation The degree of public cooperation that can be secured diminishes, proportionately, the necessity for the use of physical force and compulsion in achieving Sheriff Objectives. 6. Impartial Friendly Enforcement The Sheriff seek and preserve public favor, not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to the law without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws; by readily offering individual service and friendship to all members of society without regard to their race or social standing; by the ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humor; and by readily offering individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life. 7. Minimum Use of Force The Sheriff should use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order when the exercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found to be insufficient to achieve Sheriff Objectives; and Sheriff should use only the reasonable amount of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a Sheriff objective. 8. Public Are the Sheriff The Sheriff at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the Sheriff are the public and that the public are the Sheriff; the Sheriff are the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interest of community welfare. 9. Limit of Sheriff Power The Sheriff should always direct their actions strictly toward their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary by avenging individuals or the state, or authoritatively judging guilt or punishing the guilty. 10. Test of Sheriff Effectiveness The test of Sheriff Effectiveness is the absence of crime and the presence of public order. It is not the evidence of Sheriff Action in dealing with crime and disorder.

11. People Working with Sheriff The task of crime prevention cannot be accomplished by the Sheriff alone. This task necessarily requires the willing cooperation of both the Sheriff and the public working together toward a common goal. 12. Managers Working with Sheriff Only Sheriff Deputies perform the tasks for which Sheriff were created. They are the operating professionals. Supervisors and managers exist to define problems, to establish objectives, and to assist line Sheriff Deputies in the accomplishment of the Sheriff mission. The evaluation of a manager should be based on the improvement and excellence of his subordinates in the achievement of organizational goals. The lifes blood of good management is a thoroughly systematic, two-way circulation of information, feelings, and perceptions throughout the organization. 13. Sheriff Working with Sheriff For many reasons, some specialization of work is necessary. Specialization should be created only when vitally necessary. When specialization is created, organization should be adjusted to ensure that the specialists and generalists who serve the same citizens work closely together on the common problems in as informal an organizational structure as possible. This will tend to ensure a unity of effort, resources, and the effective service to a common goal. 14. Sheriff Work with Criminal Justice System It must be recognized that the Sheriff and the people alone cannot successfully resolve the problems of crime. The criminal justice system as a whole, in order to properly serve the public, must operate as a total system with all of its various elements working together. The close cooperation of the Sheriff with prosecutors, courts, and correctional deputies is necessary in order to ensure the development of a safer community. 15. Management by Objectives In order to effectively deal with the most important problems, objectives must be established. The establishment of objectives and the means used to ensure that they are reached must include the participation of those involved in the task. The setting of an objective has very little meaning without the participation of those involved. 16. Management by Participation Since employees are greatly influenced by decisions that are made and objectives that are established, it is important for them to be able to provide input into the methods utilized to reach these decisions. Employees should be encouraged to make recommendations which might lead to an improvement in the delivery of Sheriff Services and assist in the furtherance of the Department meeting its objective.*

19. Openness and Honesty For Sheriff-public cooperation, there must be respect of the Sheriff by the public. This is best ensured by optimum openness of the Department in its operations. A general feeling and reality of openness must pervade the Sheriff organization. Above all, the Sheriff Deputy must be consistently open, honest, and trustful in all matters. A combination of honesty and openness will effectively develop respect in the community for the Sheriff and make it possible for citizens to come to them with problems and information. Where this trust does not exist because of a lack of honesty or openness, the channels of communication between the Sheriff and the public are clogged and the Sheriff must desperately struggle on alone. 17. Sheriff/Press Relationships One of the first and most fundamental considerations of this nations founders in drafting the Bill of Rights was to provide for a free press as an essential element of the First Amendment to the Constitution. They recognized that a well-informed citizenry is vital to the effective functioning of a democracy. Sheriff operations profoundly affect the public and therefore arouse substantial public interest. Likewise, public interest and public cooperation bear significantly on the successful accomplishment of any Sheriff mission. The Sheriff should make every reasonable effort to serve the needs of the media in informing the public about crime and other Sheriff problems. This should be done with an attitude of openness and frankness whenever possible. The media should have access to personnel, at the lowest level in a Department, who are fully informed about the subject of a press inquiry. The media should be told all that can be told that will not impinge on a persons right to a fair trial, seriously impede a criminal investigation, imperil a human life, or seriously endanger the security of the people. In such cases, the minimum information should be given which will not impinge on the four areas and we should merely state that nothing more can be said. In all other matters in our relationship with the media in dealing with current news, every member of the Department should make every reasonable effort consistent with accomplishing the Sheriff task in providing the media representatives with full and accurate material. 18. Territorial Imperative Sheriff work is one of the most personal of all personal services. It deals with human beings in life and death situations. The Sheriff Deputies and the people they serve must be as close as possible, and where possible must know one another. Such closeness can generate the Sheriff-citizen cooperation necessary for the involvement of the whole community in community protection. Organization of assignments should ensure that the Sheriff and the same citizens have an opportunity to continuously work for the protection of a specific community. Strength through interacting together and working together on common problems can be enhanced through deputies and the people feeling at home with one another in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation. This may be described as a utilization of the "Territorial Imperative." employees are greatly influenced by decisions that are made and objectives that are established, it is important for them to be able to provide input into the methods utilized to reach these decisions. Employees should be encouraged to make recommendations which might lead to an improvement in the delivery of Sheriff Services and assist in the furtherance of the Department meeting its objective.*

3. STANDARD ORDINANCES/ GUILDLINES 3.1 Miranda Act The Miranda Act is a warning that is required to be given by Sheriff in the United States to criminal suspects in Sheriff custody (or in a custodial situation) before they are interrogated to inform them about their constitutional rights. There are numerous versions of the Miranda Act but the most basic is as followed: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney after initial processing has been completed. Do you understand these rights as I have read them? If the Miranda Act is not read to someone whom has been detained or arrested, the arrest is considered invalid and will not be completed in a court of law. The subject may be released at once if the rights were not read. 3.2 Force Continuum In lamest terms, the force continuum or the force matrix simply means the amount of equal force used upon a suspect whom is being arrest or secured. Please follow the list of examples that are given below. Force Level 1 - Suspect may be verbally assaulting you or others - Suspect starts to show aggression in his tone of speaking - Suspect may be taunting you, or using foul language *Your actions At this point in time you are not authorized to use any physical means of force at all. You may issue verbal warnings at this point in an attempt to calm down the suspect. No hands on or support equipment required.

Force Level 2 - Suspect has committed a crime - Suspect is disobeying direct orders from a LEO - Suspect is starting to hint at violent actions - Suspect is starting to make aggressive movements with his body - Suspect may seem to be preparing for a physical engagement- Suspect is increasingly getting worse with his aggression in his tone against you, or others - Suspect is showing disrespect against you or another person *Your actions At this point in time you are not authorized to use any secondary equipment. Call for assistance using a Code 2 Backup request, and move to hands on approach of trying to escort the person from the situation or away from potential victims using voice commands and light gestures. ((* Jesse Ventura gently pushes the man in the other direction)).

Force Level 4 - Suspect has done or is committing a felony crime - Suspect is brandishing a firearm - Suspect is assaulting another person with a vehicle - Suspect has placed your life or another persons life in danger - Suspect is seriously assaulting another person ((causing the person or you to be on low health)) *Your actions At this point and time we observe that the suspect is possibly threatening another human life. At this point and time you are allowed to upholster your firearm and take aim on the suspect. Under no means should you ever fire unless the force level reaches 5. Also you are NEVER to tazer any suspect that is actively discharging a firearm. Note: If you warn someone to put away/drop a firearm and they do not comply, after the fifth warning you are expected to use your own judgment on how to handle the situation. Force Level 5 - Suspect has done or is committing a serious felony crime - Suspect is in the act of seriously assaulting you or another person to near death - Suspect has a firearm and is aiming at you or other civilians - Suspect may be firing the firearm at you or other civilians - Suspect may be in a car attempting to hit you or other civilians - Suspect is fleeing in a vehicle after three warnings have been issued - Suspect has a hostage *Your actions At this point you are allowed to open fire at the suspect and shoot to kill.

3.3 Internal Affairs the whole point in the department having an Internal Affairs is to keep a written record of members within the department who commit a crime or break a certain rule of conduct. The system of Internal Affairs is to issue disciplinary action for complaints. Supervisors handle discipline in the line of duty, while internal affairs handle complaints, whether by members or non-members. The disciplinary system allows supervisors to use discretion on the punishment they see fit for the violation or ill act that was committed. The system is as follows: Write up Notice a write up notice may be issued by internal affairs, or any Corporal and higher. A write up notice is an official document that will be kept in the internal affairs section of the forums. If you receive no disciplinary action for 1 month after receiving a write up notice, it will be removed as if it never existed. However, if you get written up again within that one month, they both stay, and the one month timer restarts. Suspension Notice A suspension may only be issued by internal affairs or any Lieutenant or higher. A suspension notice is automatic if you have received three write ups within a one month period, or as a direct punishment for a certain act. Suspension notices never get removed once the suspension is served, or one month later. Suspensions will stay in your permanent file. Termination Notice a termination may only be issued by the administrative captain, an Assistant Chief, or the Chief of Sheriff. Captains may make an emergency termination if it is necessary, however emergency terminations must immediately be reported to the Chief of Sheriff in writing. Request a termination and present a valid case for immediate terminations; however they may not issue a termination. 5.STANDARD PROCEDURES 4.1 Station Duty Procedure When you are on Station Duty, you must stand behind the restraining wall and monitor everyone that goes in and out of the PD. It is your responsibility to keep the Sheriff Department orderly and under control. If somebody enters the lobby and begins loitering, ask them what they want. If they need a ride-along-interview please forward him/her to the FTO or Sheriff. If you are a cadet and you cannot find a Deputy to patrol with, you will probably end up on station duty, so get yourself trained and be ready for everything. Lawyers, whenever you let a Lawyer inside of the Sheriff Department you will have to stay with them. These are the steps which you will take: First ask for any*Identification*and his*Licenses, go ahead and check them out. Next thing you will have to do is to ask him to put his hands against the wall and spread his legs.*you are going to perform a frisk on him; whenever he is clean he will pass it. Whenever he got illegal weapons or other stuff on him, feel free to deny and arrest him. Whenever the person is clean and he has shown you some Identification you will let him proceed, because you are on Station Duty you will patrol in the garage and inside the Sheriff Department. So from time to time check out what the Lawyer is doing down there, and make sure you will let him out after like ten minutes at maximum. Another thing is that there are only allowed two Lawyers at a time*down in the Sheriff Department cell area. Whenever there are already two Lawyers operating within the Sheriff Department feel free to deny the rest of the Lawyers or tell them to wait. This could take a certain time. The last rule, Lawyers will have to come in*Casual clothes*if they want to operate down in the Sheriff Department cell area. So that we don't got some sort of gang members as Lawyers down at our cells. Our main concern is to act Professional to the Lawyers, and give them actually the opportunity to operate in the Sheriff Department cell area. Remember, if you require assistance request so over faction radio.

4.2 Ticket Procedure Most, if not all ticket procedures begin when someone performs a traffic violation. This guide will go off that. You may alter the procedure anyway you like to fit the situation. Memorize and learn this well. First thing you must do when you notice a traffic violation is turn on your sirens. This lets the person know youre behind them. After that, announce your presence using the megaphone. I will assume the person stopped after the first warning. Once the person pulls over, you may tell them one of two things. Either "gets out of the car with your hands up" or "turns off your engine and remains seated. After they listen to your command, approach them with every weapon holstered. Make sure they are aware of why they got pulled over. If they don't know why they got pulled over then you are not allowed to ticket them. Establish your reason for the traffic stop prior to ticketing, always. After they understand what they did, proceed to gather their name. There are two ways this can be confirmed. Either picture ID or by them tell you verbally and the name being matched to a picture via MDC. If they lie about their name, then proceed to the arrest procedure since they failed to comply. ((You MUST get a name to ticket. Don't metagame or you will be fired. )) After you gather the name, runs a check over the MDC to see if they are wanted. ((RP it, but use /wanted or use the car /mdc for a list of wanted people.)) If they turn out to be wanted, arrest them, otherwise, hand them back their ID, if they gave you one. Now ask them if they are able to pay the ticket. Tell them how much the ticket will be. If they can't pay the ticket, they will need to be arrested. If they say they can, then write up the ticket and hand it to them. Once they pay the ticket, they may go on their way.

4.3 Detain Procedure whenever you have someone cuffed, it is necessary to detain to a vehicle to transport them. To do it RPly, you would detain them to the nearest seat to them once you parked the car. You would also detain in an empty seat. Obviously you can't detain someone to the driver seat, so that is left blank. Keep in mind, placing someone handcuffed in your vehicle constitutes an ARREST. Any questions require Miranda Rights, and they must be formally charged as a suspect to a crime.

4.4 Off Duty and On Duty Procedure There has been a wide variety of going off duty in the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. Everyone applied to the Sheriff department to "work" not to go off duty twenty-four seven whenever they feel like it. Please read below to find out the current rules on going off and on duty. Cadets must be on duty all the time. The only time they're allowed to be off duty is when they clock out at night. ((Log off.)) Everyone else within the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department must be ON DUTY at all times unless given permission by a Captain of above. The rule of going off duty as a Deputy or above has been abolished. If anyone is caught going off duty, they may receive disciplinary action. So please, just stay on duty unless it's really needed that you go off

4.5 Traffic stopping and Arresting Procedure most, if not all ticket procedures begin when someone performs a traffic violation. This guide will go off that. Feel free to alter this procedure in any way to match the situation. First thing you do when you notice a traffic violation is you turn on your sirens. This lets the person know youre behind them. After that, announce your presence via megaphone. If they continue to drive, wait a few seconds ((15-20 seconds)) and then warn them again. Wait one more time for 15-20 seconds. If they continue to drive, give them their third and final warning to pull over. If they still don't pull over in 15-20 seconds, you are to request backup. If it is obvious the vehicle is attempting to flee, one single warning is sufficient to result in "evading Sheriff. You may not use deadly force upon a fleeing vehicle unless the vehicle is a danger to others, or you are authorized by a SGT. or higher to do so. One there is no longer a threat to life, stop shooting immediately. Never use deadly force if innocents are nearby. It might save the lives of a few pedestrians. The PIT Maneuver is authorized any time deadly force is authorized; otherwise, obtain permission from a SGT. or higher. Once the suspect is out of the car, get out of your car and chase him on foot. Once youre within shooting range, taze him. If he shoots, use common sense and shoot back to protect yourself. Make sure he is cuffed after you manage to taze him. Do not utilize your taser on someone who is FACING YOU and ACTIVELY SHOOTING. Bring the car around and detain the suspect to the car and take him to the Sheriff station for processing. You do not have to bring the car to him if you role play bringing him back to the car "/me attempts to walk to back to the car "Before starting any processing, read him his Miranda Rights. These should be read right after they are cuffed, but it is allowed to be said any time before interrogation. Anytime you have someone in CUSTODY and are INTERROGATING them, they must be read Miranda, otherwise you may be sued and your case may be thrown out in court. If they are NOT in custody, but you are questioning them, it does NOT constitute Miranda. If they are in custody, but you are NOT asking questions, it does NOT constitute Miranda! Asking immediate questions to the situation does NOT count as interrogation, such as name, weapons, other suspects, etc. The interrogation process begins when you ask them questions that would incriminate them. Custody + Interrogation = MIRANDA RIGHTS. Once he is safe in the garage, if you have not already, proceed to gather his name. This can go three ways. Either an ID, a name which is matched to a photo via MDC, or the John Doe. Either method is acceptable in this case. Once you have the name, take him out of the cruiser and ask him if there is anything illegal on him that you should know about, and then frisk him for any illegal items. They do not need to consent to a frisk when they are being arrested. At any other time, they must be asked. If the suspect has weapons, take them; otherwise proceed to the next step. Begin to add charges. Make sure every crime they commit is a separate charge. Don't put multiple crimes on one charge. If your suspect did not provide you with an ID, simply*/su*Failing to Provide a proper ID ((John Doe))*ONCE. Do not put ((John Doe)) in any of the other charges. Again, do not stack charges - If they possessed SPAS-12 and MP5, that is ONE CHARGE. If they fled from you in a vehicle, you lost them, and when you found them they fled again, that is ONE CHARGE. After they are charged up, take over to the arrest station and place them in the cells. After that, you are free to patrol once more. 4.6 Patrol Procedure when you patrol, you do not do anything other than patrol. If Cadets are caught doing their job incorrectly, they will receive disciplinary action. Disobeying orders of supervisors will result in your removal from the cadet program. If planning to leave the server (10-7) or go on a break (code 7), report it over the radio. Only Deputies and above can go off-duty with a proper reason. When responding to a 911 call, go straight to the location of the call. Do not wait until you rally up a group of Deputies, if you feel that you will require assistance than request additional units over /r.
