3-06/150.10 - Emergency Requests

Weekends and after-hours emergency requests for mechanics shall be made by station watch commanders to the Sheriff's Communications Center (SCC) Watch Commander.

Requests based upon a high percentage of inoperable station vehicles affecting station operations shall be made only after the following determinations:

• Can the required repairs be effected by one mechanic, considering the limited repair facilities, tools, and available parts;
• Have adjacent stations been contacted for assistance; and
• Are relief vehicles available.

Valid requests will be forwarded to the on-call Department Fleet Management representative.
