PURPOSE OF ORDER:
The purpose of this order is to establish procedure and policy to ensure safety and accountability for Deputies assigned to fare enforcement responsibilities.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order will pertain to all fare enforcement by Deputy Sheriff’s assigned to the Sheriff’s Department’s Metrolink Bureau (MTL).
ORDER:
Effective September 1, 2002, this Order shall be followed by all Deputy Sheriff’s assigned to fare enforcement duties on Metrolink trains.
ON-BOARD SECURITY AND FARE ENFORCEMENT:
In order to enhance on-board security, deputies are expected to ride trains. The sergeants will designate which trains are assigned. Each time a train is ridden, the entire length of the train should be walked and the conductor should be contacted and asked if there are any specific problems on that particular route or train. Problems verbalized by the conductor to a deputy will be reduced to a written memo addressed to the shift supervisor for his action or disposition. Documentation of trains ridden shall be included in the shift summary.
