Corona Police Department Law Enforcement Services Manual CHIEF’S PREFACE The Corona Police Department is a professional police agency staffed by individuals who cherish and maintain the highest standards of conduct and performance. As Chief of Police, I am proud of this Department and every member of the organization. This policy manual is a reflection of these concepts, and when fairly applied, confirms this commitment to our community and the organization. We must acknowledge that no set of policies can address all circumstance employees may encounter in policing. There will be situations that occur that must be left to the good judgment and discretion of the person involved. This judgment and discretion must be employed with sound reasoning. This policy manual is a living document that is subject to change due to new laws, court decisions, City Council policies, and new methodologies that dictate the need for continual review. It is every employee's responsibility and duty to become thoroughly familiar with the contents of the manual and updates as they occur. Upon distribution of this manual all other existing manuals, orders, and regulations that are in conflict are hereby revoked. Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2021/08/17, All Rights Reserved.
