PURPOSE:
The purpose of this order is to ensure station personnel working the desk are properly handling and entering calls for service. The patrol station desk is the pivotal point for station operations. It is the communications and information center for which all operational activities are facilitated, or at the very least, coordinated. Desk personnel receive and evaluate the public's request for service and have available to them the vast resources of the Department, other public agencies, and many private entities with which to fulfill the law enforcement missions of the Department.
Through the efforts of desk personnel, working in concert with the field units, the Department's major responsibilities of officer safety, public safety and the effective delivery of police services are achieved.

This order applies to all personnel assigned to Cerritos Station Desk Operations.
