SUBJECT: CARSON STATION MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE 07-01
ASSIGNMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF PATROL RADIOS
Purpose
This proposal establishes in draft form a station policy for procedural accountability regarding the issuance of the XTS3000 radios to patrol, detectives and specialized units.
Scope
This proposal is intended for all patrol personnel, jailers, field supervisors and shift supervisors assigned to Carson Station. This proposal is not intended for routine operations involving contract services, including but not limited to the Home Depot Center where personnel would be assigned different radios.
Proposal
Due to issues addressed during the last Command Inspection conducted by the Communications and Fleet Management Bureau (CFMB) dated January 31, 2006, involving the XTS3000 radios, the following proposal was written based on the findings of the CFMB staff.
It is intended that the Watch Sergeant from the shift prior to the oncoming shift will assign specific radios to individual deputies. This will be documented on the oncoming in-service and a radio list roster. Refer to the attached copies for examples. The radios will be maintained by the Watch Sergeant who will verify the serial numbers of the radios. The Watch Sergeant shall issue the designated radio to the assigned deputy.
Personnel going off duty shall personally hand their portable radio to the Watch Sergeant who will log the returned radio back into the inventory. If the Watch Sergeant is unavailable, the Watch Deputy will be responsible for the distribution and/or collection of the radios. During each shift, the Watch Sergeant will reconcile the inventory list with the actual radios in stock.
