POLICY The Fire Department employee may be assigned Village-provided equipment, such as vehicles, lockers, desks, cabinets and brief cases. The Fire Department employee is hereby advised that the retention of any personal items in such equipment is at the employee's own risk, and the Village and the employee's supervisors will not be responsible for any losses. Moreover, any Village-provided equipment is subject to entry, search and inspection by the employee's superiors, without further notice. Any privately owned property contained in such equipment (including the contents of closed or sealed items/containers) may also be opened and examined without further notice or without the Fire Department employee's permission. This includes any Village-provided equipment that is protected by a personally owned lock that the Fire Department employee later might place on the outside. Therefore, the Fire Department employee has NO expectation of privacy when using Village-provided equipment. PROCEDURE EXCEPTIONS REFERENCES DEFINITIONS End of Document 1
