Regulations and General Orders HERNDON POLICE DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS AND GENERAL ORDERS Foreword The Regulations and General Orders of the Herndon Police Department are detailed in this manual. These general responsibilities and standards of conduct are expected of all Department employees, civilian as well as sworn, unless otherwise noted, and are intended to achieve uniformity and an orderly approach to the accomplishment of goals. It is essential that all personnel familiarize themselves with the provisions of this manual. It is important for the employee to realize that individual action taken in violation of these Regulations and General Orders may be grounds for disciplinary action. All Regulations and General Orders contained in this manual are issued under the authority of the Chief of Police. The periodic update of the manual reflects changes in law or policy and procedure, and suggestions and recommendations for changes are encouraged from personnel. The appointment of a new Chief of Police will not invalidate the directives issued by a predecessor. While the manual does set forth specific procedures to which adherence is expected, it is not intended to address all situations encountered by members of the Department. The judicious exercise of discretion is often required, with this in mind, the manual serves as a supplement to individual training and experience. Colonel Maggie A.

    MEMPHIS POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES SECTION: Organization Memphis Police Department Mission Statement Our Purpose is to create and maintain public safety in the City of Memphis. We do so with focused attention on preventing and reducing crime, enforcing the law, and apprehending criminals. Vision To create and maintain for the City of Memphis an environment of public safety recognized for its intolerance for crime and its compassion and responsiveness to the needs, rights, and expectations of all citizens, employees and visitors. Values Honesty ║ Excellence ║ Integrity ║ Leadership ║ Dignity and Respect Recognition and Reward ║ Personal Responsibility ║ Individual Accountability Continuous Learning ║ Clarity of Expectations Every organization requires its own internal procedure for conveying information and instructions, as well as establishing rules and regulations governing employee performance. The most effective method for an agency of our size is to compile relatively permanent material into a single source manual and to supplement that manual when changes in procedure are necessary. This Policy and Procedure Manual has been established to meet these needs. The material in this manual governs the action of all departmental personnel. However, it must be remembered that due to the nature of police work, emergency situations may arise that require a temporary deviation from standard policies and procedures. Therefore, operational procedures contained in this manual may temporarily be superseded by an order of the Director

    Police Aviation News August 2021 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 304 August 2021 Police Aviation News August 2021 2 EDITORIAL In the past I have pointed out that those you do not take heed of their past put themselves in danger of making the same mistakes again. It is daunting to see how often that advice is being ignored. In the past month the Editor has contacted several important organisations affected by the situation in Wakefield and have even directly complained to NPAS in an effort to overcome the ongoing air of secrecy surrounding their past and present operations. Time will tell whether this will have any positive outcome. Meanwhile the UK Home Office, and by default the Government of the day, seem to have a plan that pro- motes offshore police aviation rather than its own. The troubles at NPAS are way beyond money but, far from ensuring that resources are available for UK police aviation money continues to be exported to France to bolster their apparently inadequate reaction to stemming the ongoing wave of migrants boating their way to England. In addition to significant sums sent to France last November [which clearly failed to work] a sum of £55M has been set aside to boost French border activity, including air patrols, into the future. That is significantly more than it cost to run NPAS for a whole year. Not that I am advocating that money would in any way resolve the ‘Wakefield Problem.’ They would probably use it to buy a new hangar somewhere, anywhere. Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT AUSTRALIA VICTORIA: A campaign to save “the first Victoria Police helicopter” has started after a news story started on News Channel 7.

(713) 202-3235 E: president@texascopsandcommunities.com W: www.texascopsandcommunities.com MARCH 1, 2021 RE: RAISE YOUR VOICE TO END WHITE SUPREMACY IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS! Dear Community Leader & Influencer! In the wake of the domestic terrorist attacks on our Nation’s Capitol, Texas Cops & Communities, Inc. (TCC) has released a call-to-action petition requesting President Joe Biden to prohibit white supremacists or anyone with ties to hate groups from joining law enforcement, because it is not just the capitol under attack but our communities, particularly those in African American and Latino neighborhoods. There is an increasing number of violent attacks and deadly use of force against our black and brown brothers and sisters, as was in the case of George Floyd and too many others, especially after former President Trump promoted an aggressive response from police towards suspects in their custody, following the death of Freddie Gray, a Baltimore African American man, after his head violently struck a bolt inside a police transport van. “When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over? Like, don’t hit their head, and they just killed somebody — don’t hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, OK,” said Former President Donald John Trump in a speech he delivered to police officers in Long Island, NY (2017).
