Procedures Manual of the Rocklin Police Department is hereby established and shall be referred to as “The Procedures Manual.” This Procedure Manual is designed to work in concert with the Rocklin Police Department Policy Manual. In some cases, the Policy Manual refers to the Procedure Manual regarding details of operation. The Procedures Manual contains written descriptions of processes we employ. This is a living document and should be updated as we improve our processes. Where a unit, position or individual is designated as having responsibility to perform a duty, that designee is accountable for completion unless officially relieved of that duty. Except where otherwise expressly stated, the provisions of this manual are considered as guidelines. It is recognized that police work is not always predictable and circumstances may arise which warrant departure from these guidelines. It is the intent of this manual to be viewed from an objective standard, taking into consideration the sound discretion entrusted to members of this department under the circumstances reasonably available at the time of any incident. A101.2 ACCREDITATION STANDARDS This section pertains to the following CALEA Standards: N/A A101.3 RESPONSIBILITIES The ultimate responsibility for the contents of the manual rests with the Chief of Police. Since it is not practical for the Chief of Police to prepare and maintain the manual, the following delegations have been made: A101.31 CHIEF OF POLICE The Chief of Police or the person acting in this role shall be considered the ultimate authority for the provisions of this manual and shall issue Departmental Directives which shall modify those provisions of the manual to which they pertain. Departmental Directives shall remain in effect until such time as they may be permanently incorporated into the manual. Any new release of this Manual shall be certified by the Chief of Police. A101.32 STAFF Staff shall consist of the following: • Chief of Police • The Captain from each division The staff shall review all recommendations regarding proposed changes to the manual at staff meetings. A101.33 OTHER PERSONNEL November 2010 version ROCKLIN POLICE DEPARTMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL All Department employees suggesting revisions to the contents of the Procedure Manual shall forward their suggestion, in writing, to their Division Commander who will consider the recommendation and forward it to staff.

  • Firearm Safety 1. Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe
    FIREARM SAFETY 1. ALWAYS KEEP THE M UZZLE POINTED IN A S A F E DIRECTION This is the most basic safety rule. If everyone handled a firearm so carefully that the muzzle never pointed at something they didn’t intend to shoot, there would be virtually no firearms accidents. It’s as simple as that, and it’s up to you. Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction. A safe direction means a direction in which a bullet cannot possibly strike anyone, taking into account possible ricochets and the fact that bullets can penetrate walls and ceilings. The safe direction may be “up” on some occasions or “down” on others, but never at anyone or anything not intended as a target. Even when “dry firing” with an unloaded gun, you should never point the gun at an unsafe target. Make it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing at all times, and be sure that you are in control of the direction in which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. This is your responsibility, and only you can control it. 2. FIREARMS ACTIONS SHOULD BE OP E N AN D S H O U L D B E UNLOADED WHEN NOT AC TUALLY IN USE Firearms should be loaded only when you are in the field or on the target range or shooting area, ready to shoot.

  • Case Courtesy of Dr. Vivian Snyder (EAC Member, Alameda County)
    Case courtesy of Dr. Vivian Snyder (EAC member, Alameda County) Bullets found at the scene Responses: A. .410 shot shell (14.08% responses) .410 bore is one of the smallest caliber shotgun shells available, most significant for its capability of being fired from either a shotgun or select handguns, most popularly the Taurus Judge revolver. As with other shotgun ammunition, this ammunition consists of multiple lead pellets held within a plastic shot sleeve/cup and casing. Another unique feature of .410 gauge shot cups being that they peel back to produce 3 “petals” instead of the usual 4 seen with other shotgun shells. Depending on range of fire the plastic shot sleeve may follow the charge into the wound. B. Snake shot (20.66% responses) Snake shot cartridges are smaller versions of shotgun cartridges designed to be fired using handguns. They contain multiple pellets within a brass casing, topped by a hollow plastic capsule. The plastic capsule shatters during firing, allowing shot to disperse after exiting the muzzle. This ammunition is generally used for shooting snakes, rodents and birds at very close range, and has very limited penetrating power. Despite generally having comparable size lead shot to Glaser rounds, injuries related to this ammunition have significantly less penetrating ability and would not contain jacket fragments. C. “Lead snowstorm” from high-velocity handgun ammunition (29.11% responses) Rifle ammunition and some high-velocity handgun ammunition (e.g. .357 magnum rounds) are associated with one of the most characteristic X-ray findings in forensic pathology. The “lead snowstorm” is described as hundreds of small radiopaque bullet fragments scattered along a wound track.

  • Today's Handgun
    TODAY’S HANDGUN SAFETY BASICS A Guide to Responsible and Safe Handgun Use and Ownership THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF HANDGUN SAFETY 1. Watch that muzzle! Keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times. 2. Treat every handgun with the respect due a loaded gun. It might be, even if you think it isn’t. 3. Be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it. Make sure you have an adequate backstop— don’t shoot at a flat, hard surface or water. 4. Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. This is the best way to prevent an accidental discharge. 5. Check your barrel and ammunition. Make sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions, and carry only the proper ammunition for your handgun. 6. Unload handguns when not in use. Leave actions open, and carry firearms in cases and unloaded to and from the shooting area. 7. Point a handgun only at something you intend to shoot. Avoid all horseplay with a gun. 8. Don’t run, jump, or climb with a loaded handgun. Unload a handgun before you climb a fence or tree, or jump a ditch. Pull a handgun toward you by the grip, not the muzzle. 9. Store handguns and ammunition separately and safely. Store each in secured locations beyond the reach of children and careless adults. For added safety, also use a locking device such as a trigger lock or a cable lock. 10. Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during shooting. Also avoid mind- or behavior-altering medicines or drugs.
