                          RISK MANAGEMENT BUREAU - UNIT ORDER #6

SUBJECT:  FACILITY SECURITY CHECKS

PURPOSE OF ORDER

In times of civil unrest and threats against law enforcement, it may become necessary to conduct Facility Security Checks for our building. 

The purpose of this order is to establish standard practices regarding Facility Security Checks.

The goal of these checks is to prevent criminal activity directed at law enforcement. 

SCOPE OF ORDER

The order applies to sworn Risk Management Bureau personnel.

ORDER

At a minimum of once daily (Monday through Friday), sworn personnel will be responsible for walking the perimeter and common areas of our building in order to detect and/or deter criminal activity/attacks against law enforcement.  Examples of possible criminal activity may include vandalism, abandoned suspicious packages, and suspicious persons loitering in and around the facility.

The on-call lieutenant or sergeant will be responsible for ensuring the daily security checks are completed.  Deputies who complete the daily security checks shall record it in the Security Check Log located in the Risk Management Bureau Shared Files.  

If criminal activity is detected, sworn personnel shall notify East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station and request a response.  The nature of the event and level of exigency will dictate the type and level of response by both Risk Management Bureau personnel and East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station. 

In all instances, the protection and preservation of life shall be paramount.  Direct, immediate interventions and responses by Risk Management Bureau personnel shall be guided by this principle.  The types of immediate actions could include, but are not limited to:  Evacuations, detaining of suspects, and summoning of specialized resources.

Personnel shall always consider all civilian staff at private businesses located within our shared building space, as well as those who work in the adjacent building, when conducting lifesaving and risk mitigation strategies.

  • Personnel at private businesses are not required to follow our orders unless it is a lawful order in compliance with California Penal Code Sections 148(a), 409.5, or 416.
