SECURING UNATTENDED DEPARTMENT VEHICLES

 

 

 

In the event a Department member needs to leave a Department vehicle unattended (example: during a traffic stop or contacting someone), they should make every attempt to immediately secure the vehicle and its equipment. 

This practice should never compromise the safety of employees or the community.

When feasible, the employee should turn their vehicle off and secure all equipment in the vehicle.  Equipment should be kept out of plain view unless it is secured by Department-approved locking devices.  Windows, doors, and trunks should also be secured.

In a tactical event, the employee's safety is paramount.  During tactical events, the employee can communicate to responding units via radio regarding the vehicle being unsecured.  Responding units can then coordinate the securing of the Department vehicle.
