Subject: Metrolink Security and Passenger Station - Patrol and Survey |
|
Reference: None |
PURPOSE OF ORDER:
The purpose of this order is to establish new procedures for the annual station audit assignments as requested by the SCRRA/Metrolink safety and security manager.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order shall apply to the patrol deputies assigned to Sheriff’s Metrolink Bureau. It is a revision of all previous unit orders relating to Metrolink’s Crime Prevention through Station Audits.
ORDER:
This program, for maintaining the annual station assignments, has been planned and implemented to facilitate Metrolink Bureau’s endeavor to provide optimum security for Metrolink commuter passengers, employees and equipment. Each field patrol unit at Sheriff’s Metrolink Bureau has been assigned a list of specific passenger stations to monitor, audit and log. .
Once a year, Metrolink deputies shall conduct a Station audit of each passenger station within their assigned areas using the new Metrolink audit form (see attached). As previously indicated, the field sergeant shall ensure that the forms are complete and that all locations have been checked as required. The field sergeant will then give the forms to the Special Projects Deputy for compilation.
This in no way precludes the field patrol deputies from conducting additional security and safety audits during passenger station patrol checks. Should cause arise (e.g., increase in National Security Alerts, natural or man-made disasters, calls for service, etc.), additional patrol checks are implicitly necessary and shall be conducted in conjunction with other comprehensive efforts to safeguard rail passengers, employees, the property of our contract client and its interests. All safety and security concerns shall be brought to the attention of a supervisor and communicated to Metrolink immediately.
ANNUAL STATION AUDITS ASSIGNMENTS
The following several lists indicate the assignments for the annual Station surveys of the Metrolink passenger stations. Units of the Sheriff’s Metrolink Bureau will conduct a comprehensive survey of the stations assigned, once a year, using the new Metrolink Bureau Station Audit survey form (see attached).
