PURPOSE
The purpose of this order is to provide guidelines in the event there is a Department wide emergency mobilization. Unlike a response to a large scale event as described in Major Crimes Bureau - Unit Order 4-7.10.
GUIDELINES
In the event of a major disaster or emergency, both on-duty and off-duty personnel shall contact their unit lieutenant for reporting instructions. The unit lieutenants shall confer with the Bureau Commander or Operations Lieutenant for a coordinated response plan by unit personnel. All personnel should be familiar with the emergency “12 and 12" roster distributed annually.
Should a Bureau member be unable to contact either the Bureau or Division desks, or be unable to respond to a designated Department facility within three hours, the member shall respond to the nearest law enforcement agency for deployment (MPP 5-06/000.15).
Department policy requires that sworn members be prepared to respond during emergencies with uniform and equipment items. Major Crimes Bureau personnel should have, at a minimum, a raid jacket, identification items, and an authorized duty weapon.
