    Study Notes

    Calls for Service

    • Officers dispatched for high-risk incidents will consist of two or more to ensure safety.
    • If one officer is unavailable due to other duties, communication with the dispatch is mandatory.
    • Forced entry by non-department members must be documented in call notes, including individual details.
    • Additional related reports must also reflect the forced entry incident.

    Attempt to Locate Motor Vehicle

    • Owners reporting unreturned vehicles must wait 72 hours before filing a report.
    • Owners must present proof of ownership when reporting, such as a signed title or title application.
    • If ownership is disputed, no report will be taken; refusal to sign a waiver results in no report filed.
    • Officers stopping a vehicle listed as "Attempt to Locate Motor Vehicle" must ensure procedures for pursuit are followed.

    Crime Scene Responsibilities

    • Initial responding officers must secure crime scenes and confirm the creation of a sign-in log.
    • The investigative supervisor has overall authority at the scene, directing further processing and evidence collection.
    • Personal devices for photographing incidents are discouraged due to legal risks; digital photos should only be uploaded to the CL Photo App, not videos.

    Hazardous Material Incidents

    • Officers entering hazardous areas must notify dispatch and work in pairs, maintaining contact.
    • Only the Fire Department’s officer-in-charge can authorize evacuation unless immediate danger necessitates otherwise.

    Interagency Conflicts

    • Department commanders must respond to unresolved interagency disputes and document the incident through communication channels.
    • Jurisdictional conflicts require the Kansas City, Missouri officer to complete necessary reports.
    • All disputes should be resolved diplomatically by department administrators; members should avoid direct contact for dispute resolution.
