PURPOSE
This Unit Order makes it clear that, if feasible, an Operations Plan shall be utilized in the planning and execution of all TRAP tactical operations. The detective will have a clear understanding of the purpose of the operations plan and its use as an officer safety tool.
GUIDELINES
Most of the investigations conducted by TRAP result in the search of premises and arresting suspects. For those situations where prior planning is possible for the search or arrest, an operations plan shall be prepared. Operation plans will be completed and submitted to the area lieutenant no less than 48 hours prior to the operation. An operations plan will be submitted using the attached form as an example. For those sections which do not apply to the operation, the investigator shall indicate by writing “N/A.” It is essential that operations plans are classified and handled accordingly.
