3-09/070.55 - Emergency Vehicle Collision Notation on Driver's Records



Occasionally, the Department of Motor Vehicles will enter on a Deputy's driving record the fact that the Deputy was involved in a traffic collision while operating an emergency vehicle on duty.  The Division of Driver's Licenses, DMV, Sacramento, will correctly code this entry if the Unit Commander will provide them with the Deputy's name, driver's license number, date of the collision and the collision report number.

This code will indicate to the employee's insurance carrier that the collision occurred while the Deputy was driving an emergency vehicle on duty.

When an employee becomes aware that this code has been erroneously noted on his driving record, the employee shall advise his Unit Commander.  The Unit Commander shall then provide DMV with the correct information.

Units should address correspondence to the following address and state that the Deputy was on duty in an authorized emergency vehicle:
