Orem Police Department Orem Police Department Policy Manual CHIEF'S PREFACE This Policy Manual is the ongoing product of changing laws, practices, and procedures that are integral to providing guidance and direction to every member of this Department. On a regular basis, updates are included to incorporate the most contemporary National, State, and Local standards and laws that range from critical incidents to reporting requirements. While this Policy Manual is comprehensive, the foremost professional attribute must first include a standard of community service that embodies the tenets of the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics. Here at the Orem Police Department, we embrace excellence in all we do, both in our personal lives as well as professional lives. Among our highest beliefs are those of Honor, Respect, and Accountability to our community. This Manual provides each employee some guidance on critical, but infrequent tasks, as well as offering less experienced employees the opportunity to study policies related to tasks or events not yet encountered. Even the most veteran employees need to review this Manual on a regular basis to ensure that they are familiar with the most current procedures in an every-changing profession. Because this manual is updated online and the newest policies are approved and then pushed out to employees, each employee should log in to the Lexipol web site in order to view the most recent version of the manual and to accept any updates that have been completed. A PDF copy of the manual can be saved to a computer file, but will not receive the updates as they come out. I am honored to serve all of you as the Chief of Police of the Orem Police Department. There is no other place I would rather be and no one else I would rather have by my side than all of you. Thank you for being such professional and upstanding people.
