97-01 TRAP OPERATING PROCEDURES

Unit Order:  97-01

Subject:       TRAP OPERATING PROCEDURES

PURPOSE

The Taskforce for Regional Autotheft Prevention (TRAP) is a multi-agency approach to the investigation and prosecution of professional auto theft within Los Angeles County.  In addition to the manual of Standard Operating Procedures (S.O.P.’s), it may become necessary to make additions, corrections, deletions and/or addenda to these procedures as needed.  These changes will take the form of Unit Orders.

Each supervisor is responsible for maintaining a copy of the current Unit Orders in a binder, marked “Unit Orders,” at their team office.  They are also responsible for ensuring all team personnel are aware, and knowledgeable of each Unit Order’s content, as well as the manual of Standard Operating Procedures.  The operations sergeant is the custodian of the original Unit Orders.  Updated copies of the Unit Orders will be kept in a notebook and shall be maintained by each supervisor assigned to TRAP.  Familiarization with the Unit Orders shall be an integral part of the orientation program for newly assigned TRAP personnel.

This order shall be the first order in the binder.
