PURPOSE OF ORDER
The purpose of this order is to establish periodic warrant service and entry training for members of Operation Safe Streets (OSS) Bureau and patrol station Special Assignment Officers (SAO) team personnel who assist with search warrant operations.
SCOPE OF ORDER
This order applies to all Bureau personnel.
BACKGROUND
Due to the ongoing Department-wide personnel shortage, and OSS Bureau teams being understaffed, patrol station SAO team personnel are increasingly being utilized by OSS teams to augment their entry lineups during search warrant service operations.
Prior to conducting or participating in a search warrant service operation, Field Operations and Detective Bureau personnel must attend the Department’s mandated TAS I: Firearms Laser Training Update and TAS II: Intermediate Warrant Service Tactics Update once every two years.
ORDER
OSS Bureau teams who rely on their respective patrol station SAO team for assistance during warrant service operations, shall jointly attend warrant service and entry training. Training can be administered by the Tactics and Survival Unit (TAS) or Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB).
All OSS and SAO team personnel attending this training will be documented on an APIS roster. OSS training unit will retain the rosters and will coordinate with OSS team sergeants to ensure all OSS and SAO team personnel stay current with this training.
