PURPOSE OF ORDER:                                                                                                                    

The purpose of this unit order is to ensure personnel assigned to Avalon Station are aware of who may use Avalon Station county vehicles.

DIRECTIVE:

This unit order applies to all personnel assigned to the Avalon Sheriff’s Station. 

All Avalon Station county vehicles are to be used for official county business only. Only personnel who have successfully completed the Department’s Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) Defensive Driver’s Training may operate a county vehicle.

The on duty watch commander has the discretion to allow a county vehicle to be used by any EVOC trained personnel based on the need of the station.

Avalon Station Personnel

Due the necessity of responding to a call for service, assistance call, or administrative investigation from home, when there are enough patrol vehicles for all personnel assigned to patrol, the unit commander and sergeants may park a patrol vehicle at their place of residence.

When not in use for official county business, all station vehicles shall be parked in the station lot or on the street near the station.

Isthmus Personnel

Due the necessity of responding to a call for service from home, resident deputies are permitted to park Avalon Station vehicles at the Isthmus county housing.
