ORDER:
Radio cars may be used for courts in the Los Angeles metropolitan area or other distant locations. Radio cars may also be used for schools and special training sessions required by the Department. Radio cars may be used for the Range, but every effort should be made to go in groups of three or four.
Radio cars shall not be utilized for local court appearances except as approved by the Watch Sergeant.
No one shall use a County vehicle to go to an off-duty function where alcoholic beverages are served, unless that person is a speaker at the function, and only then with Watch Commander's approval.
The approval for use of radio cars by the Watch Sergeant shall be based upon the number of units needed for patrol purposes with a sufficient number of reserve units for emergencies or mechanical failures.
