PURPOSE:
The purpose of this order is to provide a uniform emergency call-out plan for West Hollywood Station in the event the need arises for emergency mobilization and 12 and 12 shifts are implemented. West Hollywood Station's patrol personnel are currently working a 4/10 schedule.
SCOPE:
This order applies to all West Hollywood personnel.
ORDER:
In the event of emergency mobilization and the implementation of 12 hour shifts, the facility commander (or in his/her absence, the on-duty watch commander) will be responsible for beginning the emergency mobilization. Basically, this will involve assigning all sworn personnel. and selected civilian personnel, to either "A" shift (0600 hours until 1800 hours). or "B" shift (1800 hours until 0600 hours). In general. "A" shift will be comprised of Day shift personnel and part of PM shift personnel. "B" shift will be comprised of PM shift personnel. PM shift shall be used to balance the number of personnel assigned to either "A" shift or "B" shift. Based upon the hour of the mobilization. the watch commander will determine how long to hold "on duty" personnel. Again, based upon the time of the mobilization, he/she will determine which personnel need to be alerted (called) first for reporting.
The facility commander, or in his/her absence, the on-duty watch commander will ensure sufficient personnel are assigned to begin the call-up process from the current emergency mobilization roster. A current roster is kept in the "Emergency Call-Out" folder in the lower left hand drawer of the watch sergeant's desk and another copy is in a similar folder on the watch commander's desk.
If an emergency mobilization should be declared at 1500 hours. PM shift personnel would be called to report at 1800 hours.
Day shift personnel would be called to report at 0600 hours the next day.
Off duty PM shift personnel would be called and assigned to report either at 1800 hours. or 0600 hours the next day, based upon shift needs.
Reserve personnel shall be called and requested to report either immediately, or assigned to report to the next "A" shift, or "B" shift, as needed based upon shift needs and the type and extent of the emergency mobilization.
Civilian personnel supporting patrol operations (secretaries, desk operations assistants) would be assigned to either "A" shift or "B" shift based upon shift needs.
The facility commander (or in his/her absence, the watch commander) will retain authority to order non-sworn personnel to deviate from these emergency mobilization procedures depending upon the type and extent of the current disaster or disturbance.
Mobilization of personnel currently on RDO's, variances, or vacations will be determined by the incident commander.
