The purpose of this procedure is to establish guidelines for the Novato Police Department’s response to critical incidents. The Department's objective is to keep all employees emotionally, mentally and physically healthy by providing and organizing support services for any Department member who experiences a critical incident. The Department provides peer support and professional critical incident stress debriefing and defusing services to employees adversely affected by their involvement in a critical incident. Critical incident stress defusing and debriefing services are specialized services intended to prevent the development of emotional problems and to help maintain personal and occupational functioning. PROCEDURE 1. When a critical incident occurs, any involved member through his or her supervisor may request assistance in processing the event. This may be in the form of a defusing, one-on-one contact, and/or a formal debriefing. Defusing and debriefing are described as follows: Defusing Defusing meetings are small group meetings which are provided as close as possible to the conclusion of the event. They are aimed at the core working group that was most seriously affected by the event and should be given within eight (8) hours.

Non-Department personnel (Novato Fire, Marin Comm Center, Coroner’s Office, etc.) also directly involved in the response to the critical incident will be invited to attend the debriefing. 4. The on-duty watch commander will identify the involved persons in a particular incident. The Peer Support Team Member/Coordinator organizing the de-breifing will insure that all involved personnel are notified of the date, time, and location of the required debriefing. 5. Persons attending a defusing or debriefing will be advised by the CISM team facilitator of the importance of following up with Peer Support Team members or mental health professionals through the city’s Employee Assistance Program, if further no-cost counseling is desired.

  • Law Enforcement Involved Fatal Incident Protocol” Because
    THE POLICE CHIEFS’ ASSOCIATION CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA PROTOCOL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT INVOLVED FATAL INCIDENTS 2014 Dedication The Contra Costa County Police Chiefs’ Association dedicates this manual to the memory of Contra Costa County Deputy District Attorney Robert Hole who passed away in August of 2012. For over 30 years, Bob held the unique position of “investigative prosecutor” (a term he coined, and which aptly fit). In the early 1980’s Bob recognized that one of the most important functions for the county’s law enforcement agencies was the investigation of Officer-Involved Shootings, and other law enforcement actions which resulted in death or serious injuries to either officers or civilians. Working in conjunction with the Police Chiefs Association, Bob was instrumental in establishing a county-wide policy to investigate these cases which to this day are known as “Protocols.” For the next three decades, Bob directed hundreds of such investigations at all hours of the day and night, in all parts of the county, and in all types of weather. He was a meticulous taskmaster, and he ensured that every possible investigative avenue was explored. Every year there is an average of 20 or so “Protocols,” the majority of which are Officer- Involved shootings. Bob was always the first to respond to protocol investigations, and he was always the last to leave. Bob literally “Wrote the Book” on the investigation of such cases, and he had more experience in this unique area than virtually any other person in the entire state. Bob’s mentoring of law enforcement on probes of this nature will ensure that our county will benefit for decades to come.

  • Handbags Culture: an Evolution
    EXCEL International Journal of Multidisciplinary Management Studies Vol.2 Issue 4, April 2012, ISSN 2249 8834 Online available at http://zenithresearch.org.in/ HANDBAGS CULTURE: AN EVOLUTION PROF. TOM NYAMACHE*; MS. RUTH NYAMBURA** *Principal, Mt. Kenya University, Nakuru Campus, Nakuru, Kenya. **Research Scholar, Egerton University, Research Co-ordinator, Mt. Kenya University, Nakuru Campus, Nakuru, Kenya. ABSTRACT The variety of handbag and purse designs keeps getting bigger, more unique and interesting. The recent trend is away from backpacks style to oversized handbags. Women want a more fashionable handbag that can also be used as a briefcase, laptop case and even baby bag. Handbags go back to the beginning of time and have become a practicality and a fashion statement for women of all ages. Thus this paper analyses the history of the handbags from ancient trends to the present. The study was based on secondary data and observations. The findings revealed that bags are getting bigger and bigger to meet all of the needs, and carry all of the stuff. This means of course, that carrying a bag is getting more problematic as the bags get heavier. KEYWORDS: handbags, fashion, purse, lifestyle. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Handbags play an important role in a woman‟s life. It is hard for a woman to go without the company of a handbag. Many women may never think of the reason why they carry handbags (critchell, 2000). However, handbags reveal a person‟s personality. People can tell your social status, taste and personality. Whereas the inside of one's bag is supposed to be personal and intimate, the outside is practically a billboard advertising one's place in the world.
