Study Notes
Communications and Officer Dispatch
- Allows monitoring of officer locations to prevent single-officer dispatch on calls requiring multiple units.
- Any officer aware of potential insufficient officer presence must request additional dispatch.
Response Protocols for Officers
- Officers must respond promptly to dispatched calls; failure to do so must be communicated to dispatchers.
- Standby protocol includes one officer maintaining safe observation while waiting for assistance.
- Primary officer must notify dispatch upon arrival on scene and may hold radio communication if needed.
- In life-threatening situations, initial officers can request emergency assistance (code one) and approach cautiously to prevent injuries.
Handling Alarm Calls
- No police response authorized for alarm sites without valid permits, except for critical infrastructures, panic, or hold-up alarms, or if unauthorized presence is reported.
- Upon arriving at alarm activation, officers must check the premises according to established guidelines.
- If an offense occurs, relevant reports must be filed, and attempts should be made to notify responsible parties.
Evidence Collection and Documentation
- Digital photos must be saved and uploaded to designated folders and apps within departmental systems.
- DNA-trained officers focus on property crimes and can document scenes for biological evidence, but sample collection should be limited to three unless necessary.
- All officers trained in evidence recovery should not request DNA officers merely to collect evidence.
Use of Canine Teams
- Canine teams available for assistance 24/7; requests should go through the Communications Unit.
- Officers must secure the area during canine searches/tracking to prevent suspect escape.
- Positive narcotic alerts require notification of the Drug Enforcement Unit with specifics on recovered substances and suspects.
Emergency Response in Hazardous Areas
- Officers must notify dispatch when entering hazardous structures and should operate in pairs for safety.
- Occupants can only be evacuated upon orders from the Fire Department unless immediate danger justifies otherwise.
Interagency Conflicts Resolution
- Department commanders must respond quickly to unresolved interagency issues, determine resolution methods, and submit communication regarding the incident.
- Jurisdictional disputes typically resolved by Kansas City officers through standard reporting protocols.
- Diplomatic resolution methods mandated for interagency conflicts; unauthorized communication between departments is prohibited.
