Patrol Ready Reference 2017 Property of ___________________ #_______ Revised January 2017 Edited by Oscar A. Martinez 2 PATROL READY REFERENCE/ O. MARTINEZ #540664 / Rev. 01/2017 INTRODUCTION WHAT THIS REFERENCE IS.... A tool to assist you in patrol and custody. A quick/informative guide to the most common codes (and not so common but interesting codes) which we used in our missions. A reference containing flow charts to make it easy to read and understand as we enforce the law. Nothing contained here is my creation; I simply gathered the plethora of information out there and condensed it here. Therefore, I thank you if you see something that you created in the past and shared with your partners. WHAT THIS REFERENCE IS NOT... This reference contains Department's MPP sections and other policies, but it is not an official reference/guide endorsed by the Department. I used the Department's policies with respect as a reference only, but nothing contained here is policy. Always refer to the actual policy or source for the proper procedures. Always refer to the actual legislative code to ensure you have proper legal and administrative standing. This reference is FREE, which I created for myself and shared with my partners after many requests for it. Neither I nor anyone else shall make any profit from this guide. Only the Department can make a profit from its established policies and procedures (MPP 3-01/040.62 Use of Sheriff's Intellectual Property/Star/Logos). Stay safe, lead the way, and back up your partners! Sergeant Oscar A.

MARTINEZ #540664 / Rev. 01/2017 CA Government Code 26600 The SHERIFF shall preserve peace, and to accomplish this object may sponsor, supervise, or participate in any project of crime prevention, rehabilitation of persons previously convicted of crime, or the suppression of delinquency. All law enforcement duties executed in the name of the SHERIFF are performed by deputy sheriffs and investigators. Because of the highly diverse law enforcement duties deputy sheriffs encounter, deputy sheriffs are cross trained in many areas of criminal law and civil law. The deputy sheriff can be considered the "jack of all trades" law enforcement officer. It is not unusual for a deputy sheriff to perform work similar to a police officer, correction officer, court officer, investigator, lawyer, accountant, and auctioneer all in one day. Because of the diversity in tasks a deputy sheriff must face, the requirements for deputy sheriff are one of the most stringent in comparison with other law enforcement positions available in the city and state. –NYC Sheriff Association 5 PATROL READY REFERENCE/ O.

MARTINEZ #540664 / Rev. 01/2017 CONTAINMENTS AND COORDINATIONS COMMON FORMATS ONLY – REFER TO YOUR STATION’S PRACTICE 459N OR 211N CALLS (CRIMES IN PROGRESS) The easiest way to contain a location is to have: 1. Unit take up a position to the rear and 2. Units take a position in the front coming in from opposite directions. (i.e. (1) unit set up just EAST of the location and (1) unit set up just WEST of the location). **REMEMBER** There might be other factors when containing a location, such as outside teams or other people trying to take independent action. Remember if it’s your handle it’s YOUR HANDLE! Anything you say should go! 459JO OR 211JO CALLS (JUST OCCURRED) When enroute to a JO call, assign the closest unit to make contact with the victim(s) and have them put out a preliminary Crime Broadcast. The second responding unit, have them 927C the last known direction of travel of the suspect. **NOTE** The key to this type of containment is a quick preliminary broadcast. This will allow your other assisting units to get vital details of the suspect and where he might be heading. 415FT OR 415J CALLS (LARGE CROWDS) OR (CRIMES WITH WEAPONS) For this type of call, it is good to meet at an indicated location and roll in together. The purpose of this type of coordination is for a show of force, and to eliminate crossfire when weapons are involved. THINGS TO THINK ABOUT There is nothing wrong with coordinating your call on the PATCH! Some units are not assigned to your call, or might be out of their vehicles and cannot hear or may not be monitoring L-TAC.
