Each team will be under the direction of one technician who will be considered that team\'s leader. When a technician is on an extended absence, the assigned corporal will be first in the chain of command. C. When a recruit needs assistance, other than in a classroom or skills situation, the recruit will contact his/her technician. The technician will make every attempt to resolve the situation. In the event the matter is still unresolved, the recruit may then forward a letter, through the technician, to the Recruit Class Sergeant. **OMS 501.01 (5) REQUESTS, COMPLAINTS, SUGGESTIONS, IRREGULARITIES -- CHANNELS Revised 05/17/2021:** **(5) REQUESTS, COMPLAINTS, SUGGESTIONS, IRREGULARITIES -- CHANNELS:** a.

This process may be carried as far as the Office of the Executive Director of Safety so long as each succeeding level of command within the division/district has given a reply. c. Except as may be otherwise provided by Denver Civil Service regulations or department policy, such communications will not be directed to any office outside the Department of Safety without the written permission of the Chief of Police and the Executive Director of Safety. d. Department personnel will be free to seek advice and counsel or obtain the assistance of other officers in the classified service in their presentation of a complaint at any command level, as long as all involved parties in such complaint restrict their activity to the provisions of this chain of command procedure. 1. In complaints reaching the level of division commander or higher without solution, complaining department personnel may be represented by duly authorized members of the Denver Police Protective Association or by private legal counsel. 2. Any officer in the classified service who so assists another officer in the presentation of any complaint will not be penalized or prejudiced in any manner because of such presentation. D. Every three weeks a new Class Leader will be chosen as a liaison between the class and the Recruit Class Sergeant.

They are also expected to demonstrate and apply their knowledge in a variety of written, oral, and practical exercises and to obtain the required level of physical fitness. Any time a recruit spends outside of their scheduled Academy instruction to meet these standards will not be compensated by either pay or time. Breaks and time unused by instructors should be used by recruits for studying and/or practicing skills. K. Academy Training Staff will provide opportunities for struggling recruits to improve their performance in both skills and academic training.

Recruits must have permission from a technician or sergeant to go to their personal cars during duty hours. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. **OMS 501.05 ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER** **(1) REQUIREMENT:** **(2) ADDRESSES IN TELESTAFF:** **(3) PHONE NUMBERS IN TELESTAFF:** a. Changing and/or Adding Telephone Numbers in TeleStaff: To ensure uniformity, all department personnel will follow the below protocol when making entries in TeleStaff: 1^st^ contact: **Work** assignment **desk** number ---------------- ----------------------------------------- 2^nd^ contact: **Work** assignment **cellular** number 3^rd^ contact: **Personal cellular** number 4^th^ contact: **Home** telephone number b.

When and if rotation of duties is deemed appropriate, each affected recruit will be responsible to read and comply with the Recruit Duties as assigned. Q. VII. **CONDUCT AWAY FROM THE TRAINING BUREAU** A. Recruits will adhere to all Operations Manual Rules and Regulations governing conduct. While assigned to the Academy, recruits will not fraternize or socialize in an unprofessional manner with any Training Division staff member, either on duty or off duty. This rule is referenced in the Denver Mayoral Order Anti-Fraternization Policy/Prohibited Relationships (see attached for full Order), subsection: *Prohibited Relationships*: No employee/appointee shall have a romantic relationship with an intern. No employee/appointee shall have a romantic relationship with a co-worker whom he or she directly supervises or whose terms or conditions of employment he or she may influence (examples of terms or conditions of employment include promotion, termination, discipline, and compensation). If a prohibited relationship develops, the Mayor's Office must be notified immediately, where 'disciplinary action, up to termination may result'. Dating other recruits is allowed but highly discouraged. The nature of this rule, Mayoral and DPD policy, is meant to establish bright lines of conduct in reference to preventing inappropriate relationships or romantic encounters, as these will not be tolerated. This does not prohibit a recruit from contacting an Academy staff member as an outcry, or an already known DPD member for professional or support services. B. Any recruit who is approached by a training staff member who suggests socializing away from the Academy setting, is specifically ordered to report the contact to the Director of Training, or in his/her absence, the Recruit Class Sergeant. C. Recruits will not carry firearms off-duty while assigned to the Training Bureau unless they possess a valid Concealed Carry Permit \[but is highly discouraged\]. Gun belts and/or handguns will not be worn on their person at any time outside any Denver Police Department Training facility unless authorized by the Director of the Training Division. Recruits are not allowed to possess a weapon on Academy grounds until authorized. Recruit officers are reminded that they are not law enforcement officers and are bound by all laws as a civilian should they elect to carry a firearm with a CCW. D. Recruits will not carry police-issued radios off duty while assigned to the Training Division, unless authorized by a technician or sergeant. E. The Rules and Regulations section of the Denver Police Department Operations Manual RR-107, \"Always on Duty\", will not apply to D.P.D. Recruits, while assigned to the Academy. Recruits are reminded that they are not sworn as police officers until they complete Academy training, therefore they cannot take any action other than as a civilian. In the event a member of the public asks a recruit for assistance, or the recruit witnesses a situation requiring police intervention, the recruit will call Police Dispatch at 720-913-2000 or 911 and request an on-duty officer. This will not preclude a recruit from acting in a life-threatening situation where an immediate response is required to save a life. F. Incidents in which a recruit might have been considered a victim, witness, reporting party, suspect, suspicious person, or person of interest in any investigation must be documented. Off-duty recruits who are contacted by, or who contact, any law enforcement agency representative acting in an official capacity, to include traffic stops, will report this contact in the manner described below: 1. 2. 3. G. Recruits are NOT allowed to work off duty in any capacity or hold any secondary employment \[volunteer work is allowed but is highly discouraged\]. H. Recruits are permitted access to police facilities only when required as part of the training process or with technician or Recruit Class Sergeant approval. I. Recruits are not allowed to participate in any law enforcement ride-along during the Academy unless assigned as part of training. J. Recruits are cautioned that use of social media should be carefully scrutinized. Anything posted on sites such as Facebook and Twitter can be subject to discovery and used in court in criminal and/or civil trials involving officers. Also, per Rule and Regulation 614, Articles prepared for publication in which the member identifies themselves as a DPD member must be submitted in their entirety to the Chief of Police for approval prior to publication and be in the best interest of the Department. Materials obtained or created during a member's official duties remain the property of the Denver Police Department. Members must articulate the intended purpose and obtain prior approval from the Chief of Police before using any Department materials such as photos, videos, audio recordings, reports, badge images, and photos of department personnel, equipment, or buildings for training or publication purposes. Articles include, but are not limited to, items published in books, magazines, newspapers, and other periodicals as well as items posted in electronic sharing sites such as blogs, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or other similar online journals or news sites. VIII. **GROOMING** A. B. C. D. E. F. IX. A. B. C. D. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. X. A. B. The certifying entity of the State of Colorado for all police officers is the Peace Officers Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) board. P.O.S.T. is the state agency who sets all basic academic and skill criteria. The Denver Police Academy consists of the 4 areas that must be completed in every Academy. These are the: Academic, and three Skill areas, which consists of Arrect Control Tactics (ACT), Defensive Emergency Vehicle Operations (DEVOC), and Firearms. Each area is a certification and must be completed and PASSED before that recruit's graduation date occurs. If this is not completed due to injury, illness, or failure of any of the 4 certification areas the recruit will NOT be eligible to take the State P.O.S.T. test. Recycling to an available Skills team in another recruit class and/or removal from the program will be determined on a case-by-case basis. 1. a. b. Major Tests will be identified and numbered as such in the Recruit Schedule. 2. A cumulative overall score for all Academy material at a 70% or above will be required to successfully complete the Academy by the P.O.S.T written test. If by the P.O.S.T. written test, the recruit is under 70%, termination will be recommended. All efforts to assist and remediate an individual will be made and documented prior to a termination recommendation being made. 3. Scoring requirements for Major Tests: Recruits must pass all designated Major Tests with a passing score of 70% or more. 1. When a recruit fails their first test, they will be put on a Learning Activity Package (L.A.P.) immediately. 2. If a second test failure occurs, this will cause review by the Academy Sergeant and Director of Training. 3. If a third test failure occurs, a removal determination made by the Academy Review panel will decide recommendations of including recycling and/or termination. This review will include the Chief's Office and H.R. 4. For documented performance concerns of any Minor tests, Skills, Scenarios, behavior or critical decision-making deficiencies, or a culmination thereof, a L.A.P. and/or review by Academy staff may be initiated to determine further strategies or recommendations. These incident/s and supporting documentation will be reviewed independently of the overall totality and body of work produced. 4. All tests, whether major or minor, must be successfully completed with a minimum score of 70%. Any test that is not passed will need to be retaken promptly until the passing threshold of 70% is achieved. 5. When taking a test your desk will be cleared with the exception of white-out and/or a beverage. Academy staff will inform you if a recruit laptop, paper, or pencil is needed for the test. Once a recruit has exited the classroom, no re-entry will be allowed until all recruits has completed the test. Recruits will wait in the recruit breakroom or outside; CEP break area will not be allowed unless instructed by an Academy staff member. 6. SKILL Requirements: In addition to the academic requirements, each recruit must meet the following P.O.S.T./DPD mandated standards for practical skills. A score of less than the minimum on any of these listed proficiency exams may cause for a recommendation of termination. These skills include: 1. 2. Defensive Emergency Vehicle Operation Course (D.E.V.O.C) -- minimum passing score of 70 %. 3. 4. 7. 1. 2. 3. 4. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. C. D. E. F. **XI.** **BADGE NUMBER DETERMINATION / PERFORMANCE** A.

Non-Urgent Injuries (those not needing immediate medical attention) 1. If an employee believes he/she has sustained a Line of Duty injury, the officer will immediately report the injury to their supervisor (Recruit Officers will contact their Technician immediately -- prior to calling the Ouchline) and will call the OUCH Line before responding to a medical facility. This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week telephone line designated for taking the officer's report of injury. It allows a registered nurse to review the officer's physical problem and make treatment recommendations. Medical recommendations from the OUCH Line registered nurse may vary from self/home care to consultation with the Center for Occupational Safety and Health at Denver Health or at a Concentra clinic. It may involve a recommendation for urgent or emergency care when appropriate, based on the medical situation involved. b. Urgent Injuries (those needing immediate medical attention) 2. In cases where obvious emergency medical attention is required, a request for emergency medical personnel will be made. An initial call to the OUCH Line is not immediately required. 3. When paramedic/ambulance personnel respond to the scene, they will evaluate the nature and extent of injuries. They may direct the injured officer to be taken to the nearest adequate medical facility. Paramedic/ambulance personnel may be advised that the "divert status" of Denver Health Medical Center operating rooms is in effect. If necessary, the injured officer will then be transported to a participating alternate hospital. 4. A supervisor or command officer may determine the need for medical attention is so critical and the proximity to a physician or adequate medical facility is close enough that waiting for a Denver Health Medical Center ambulance is not practical. A police car may be used to transport the injured officer for medical assistance without delay. 5. As soon as an officer seeking emergency care is physically able, he/she should report the injury to the OUCH Line. If an officer is not able to complete this call within 24-hours of the injury, a supervisor or command officer will call the OUCH Line and report the claim on behalf of the officer. c. If the officer experiences additional problems from an injury/illness, he/she should visit their authorized treating physician immediately. The officer should also immediately notify his/her supervisor who will in turn notify the Limited Duty Coordinator. d. An injured officer/employee may not be reimbursed for medical treatment administered at any medical facility or by any individual unless the procedures outlined have been followed. **(3) PROCEDURES:** a. Contact your \[or the appropriate\] Technician first. b. [The officer will call the OUCH Line to report the injury. ] c. [Supervisor\'s Report of Accident or Incident] (located in template drive under "DPD") is completed by the injured employee\'s supervisor and forwarded to the Limited Duty Coordinator and Risk Management. The supervisor must complete this report as soon as possible following notification, and it must be submitted to Risk Management within 5 days of being notified of the injury. d. Return to Work Pass issued by the authorized treating physician providing primary care is required each time the officer/employee is seen by an authorized treating physician for the workers' compensation injury. The officer's supervisor will forward this report to the Limited Duty Coordinator. e. Other reports or information pertinent to the Line of Duty injury will be forwarded/routed by the officer's supervisor to the Limited Duty Coordinator. **(4) INJURIES DISCOVERED LATER:** **(5) POLICE DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOSPITAL SECURITY REGARDING LINE OF DUTY INJURIES:** a. When deemed necessary by the officer's division commander (or designee), and as soon as practical, an officer from the same assignment as the injured officer will be assigned as a guard during hospitalization. b. Personnel will be assigned in a shift concept to provide this protection on a twenty-four (24) hour basis. c. Termination of such protection will be at the discretion of the commander to which the injured officer is assigned. **(6) INVOICE OR REQUEST FOR PAYMENT:** **(7) NON-WORK-RELATED ILLNESS:** **(8) LIFE THREATENING NON-WORK-RELATED ILLNESS:** **(9) NON-WORK-RELATED ILLNESSES AND INJURIES - LOSS OF TIME / LIMITED OR MODIFIED DUTIES:** **(10) NON-WORK-RELATED ILLNESSES AND INJURIES - FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:** **(11) RISK MANAGEMENT:** **\ ** **Denver Police Recruit Uniform** **[Basic Recruit Uniform]** Unless otherwise directed the recruit uniform is the standard wear while assigned to the Academy.
