    Study Notes

    Police Procedures

    • Plain Feel Exception: If a sworn officer needs to manipulate an object, the plain feel exception doesn't apply.
    • Reasonable Suspicion: A sworn member can stop or detain an individual without arrest if there's reasonable suspicion they're committing, have committed, or are about to commit a crime.
    • Questioning Restrictions: Questioning must stop if a person indicates they want a break in custody or if 14 days have passed since release.
    • Vehicle Searches (Probable Cause): If a sworn member has probable cause to believe a movable vehicle contains seizable items (like contraband), the whole vehicle can be searched without a warrant.
    • Consent to Search (Exclusive Control): Consent to search must be obtained from someone with apparent exclusive control of the area or container being searched.
    • Pursuits (Prohibited): Vehicle pursuits against traffic flow on a divided highway are prohibited unless the supervisor approves and the pursued driver is fleeing a felony arrest.
    • Momentary Activation: Brief use of red lights/sirens to get driver's attention.
    • Exceeding Speed Limit: Members are permitted to exceed posted speed if necessary for a pursuit.
    • Pursuit Reporting: Members must document vehicle speed, traffic density, and driving style of the pursued vehicle.
    • Regional Communication Channels: These (Reg Comm) are used for critical incidents involving multiple jurisdictions.
    • Radio Identification: Members must identify their agency and radio number to avoid confusion with other agencies.

    Vehicle Operations

    • Tire Damage Reports: If a police vehicle is damaged by a tire deflation device, a report is sent to the Fleet Operations Unit. Similar reports for personal vehicles go to the unit manager.
    • Stop Stick Serial Number: The 9-digit serial number of damaged stop sticks must be recorded on the Stop Stick Pursuit Reporting Form.
    • Stop Stick Procedures: Stop Stick Replacement procedures are handled by the Supply Section, during normal and non-business hours.
    • Hazardous Subject Designation: If a subject is potentially armed or dangerous, the form 191 will be forwarded for commander approval to the Records Unit. This information is entered into REJIS, RMS, and the PIC.
    • Real Time Section: The Real Time Section notifies members of animal bites.
    • Clandestine Laboratory: Illicit lab activities involve manufacturing controlled substances, explosives, or chemical weapons.
    • Site Safety Officer: A trained individual responsible for site safety and health.

    Hazardous Materials

    • Site Safety Officer: This individual verifies compliance with safety/health plans. The Metro Meth Section Supervisor assigns this person.
    • Suspicious Lab: For any suspected labs, the communications unit supervisor needs to be contacted.
    • Communicable Disease Exposure Report: If exposed to a hazardous material, a form MO 580-1815 must be completed.
    • Safe Areas: Persons involved in hazardous-material incidents should be removed 100 yards from the scene.

    Commercial Motor Vehicles

    • Intoxication Level: A commercial vehicle driver is considered intoxicated at a BAC of .04%, not .08%.
    • Alcohol Influence Report: The completed report (D.O.R. Form 2389) should be included.
    • Suspected DUI: A person with a BAC of .08% or higher is subject to arrest and transport to a hospital for examination.
    • Juveniles: If a juvenile under 21 is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the police will request the presence of a juvenile officer.
    • Vehicles on Public Property: Vehicles left unattended but not causing problems for 48 hours on public land might be towed.

    Additional Procedures

    • Dispatch Priorities: Calls are prioritized based on proximity, type, and need.
    • Commercial Motor Vehicle Types: Commercial vehicles are defined by their gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross combination weight rating (GCWR), including capacity.
    • Arrestee Rights: An arrestee can request an attorney anytime during their interactions with law enforcement. A 20-minute time-frame to contact an attorney is typically provided.
    • Records and Procedures: Specific forms and procedures are in place for handling various situations, including notifications, forms, and related reporting.
