PURPOSE OF ORDER
To establish guidelines for sworn Bureau personnel regarding notifications to the Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) during search operations involving suspects wanted for, or suspected of, shooting another person.
SCOPE OF ORDER
This order applies to all sworn Bureau personnel.
ORDER
When a suspect wanted for, or suspected of shooting another person, (in violation of California Penal Code sections 245(a)(2), 187(a) or 664/187(a)) has not been taken into custody prior to the execution of a search warrant, a Bureau sergeant shall contact an SEB lieutenant for consultation before proceeding with the I search warrant operations.
A consultation is not necessary if an OSS Gang Surveillance Team (GSU) or a Major Crimes Surveillance and Apprehension Team (SAT) apprehends the primary suspect, prior to executing the search warrant.
The purpose of the consultation is to determine whether a Special Weapons Team or a Tactical Entry Team should serve the warrant.
This order does not supersede or replace any of the mandatory notifications listed on the Search Warrant Preparation Check List.
