Please explain: Emergency Call Back Plan - Copy Attached 7/ 2/92 20 • , TOLEDO Pel.ICE DIVISION Originated By: Staff Review Bys , Processed By: Planning/Inspections Planning/lnspectio Planning/Inspections Emergency Call Back Plan Revised 1989 Cancels Admin. Order 80-1 TO: DKtrlbutlon: All Command Office~s 1 1989 ( ( BACKGROUND: The Toledo Police Division maintains an Emergency Call Back Plan to provide for mobilization of police personnel during emergencies. The current plan is outdated and is in need of revision. PURPOSE: To revise the existing Emergency Call Back Plan (A.O. 80-1) to provide for mobilization of police personnel during an emergency. ORDER: The Chief of Police, and/or his designee shall make the final determination for implementation ·or cessation of any plan under this order. The on-duty Field Operations Shift Commander shall be responsible for notifying the Chief and the Deputy Chief of Field Operations whenever any emergency of sufficient magnitude arises that may dictate the need for additional manpower. At the direction of the Chief, notification shall be made to the Director of Public Safety, the City Manager and the Mayor. It must be kept in mind that because no two emergency -situations are alike, no one written plan can be developed to cover all such situations. This plan must be viewed as a general guideline and is ultimately flexible to meet the needs, as they arise, of the emergency depending upon its' nature and magnitude. The two basic plans for emergency callback will be known as "Plan A" and "Plan B". All Division Section Commanders shall maintain a master Call Back Log for their respective sections. The Logs shall he updated monthly, or as personnel changes necessitate. It shall contain the names of every person assigned to the Section in seniority order, (Page 1 of 4) Administrative Order 89-01 Emergency Call Back Plan Page Two by rank, and shall include addresses and telephone numbers. All of the Field Operations Sections Logs shall be kept consolidated in one book at the Desk Supervisor's work area. Other sections shall maintain their logs in an area available to the on-duty supervisor. PLAN A ,Synopsis: Four (4) eight hour shifts - 0600 X 1400; 1400 X 2200; 2000 X 0400; and 2200 X 0600. All regularly scheduled days off cancelled. PLAN B Synopsis: Two (2) twelve hour shifts - 0600 X 1800, and 1800 X 0600. All regularly scheduled days off cancelled. Vacation, OT, and other special days off will not be cancelled without specific instructions from the Chief of Police. Initial response to an emergency and implementation of a call bac~ plan must consider the nature of the emergency, manpower requirements, time of day and expected duration of the crisis. It I , , may be determined that it would be more expedient to order the ( - following shift's regularly scheduled personnel in early, or hold over the on duty shift in order to handle immediate manpower needs. This order does not preclude other administrative options of staffing for an emergency, i.e. cancelling In Service Training, or utilization of other Bureau personnel. The Traffic Section, the Mounted Patrol Unit and the Harbor Patrol shall be called-back and re-assigned only at the direction of the Chief of Police or the Field Operations Bureau Commander. IMPLEMENTATION: Once emergency call back has been authorized by the Chief of Police, the on-duty Field Operations Shift Commander, or his designee, shall immediately assign a detail of command officers to recall the first affected shift beginning with that shift's Commander and working through the other command and patrol officers assigned -to that shift. Officers shall be told where and when to report. If possible, roll call times will remain unchanged for each shift. Once completed, the next affected shift shall be called. (page 2 of 4) j r ' I (_._ · .=.·. .. . , ' • 1 ' Administrative Order 89-01 Emergency Call Back Plan Page Three IMPLEMENTATION: PLAN B If the decision to utilize plan B, two twelve (12) hour shifts, is made, the shift presently on duty will remain on duty as long as necessary to effect a smooth transition to twelve hour shifts. The ultimate goal of this plan is to keep the day shift on days, the night shift on nights and the afternoon and 2000 X 0400 shift divided between the two as necessary. Roll call times for plan B are 0630 and 0730 for days, and 1830 and 1930 for nights. Operations in general The Chief or Deputy Chief of Field Operations shall assign a Command Officer to he in charge of the emergency operation. The Emergency Operations Commander shall then establish a Field Command Post. The Field Command Post should be strategically located to effectively handle the emergency operation. The Emergency Operations Commander shall also select a staff from the available Command Officers to assist him as necessary. The remaining command officers shall work regularly assigned positions and assist as needed. Patrol officers shall be assigned as needed, with consideration given to working the regularly scheduled officers in their normal assignment. It is purposefully intended to keep the same officers on the emergency assignment for the duration of the emergency to lessen the need for new instructions each day. However, officers shall be briefed each day, with each shift change, on developments that have occurred during the period they were off. All officers shall report for duty in the prescribed uniform. · If at all possible, assignments should be given at Roll Calls. However, in the absence of other instructions, all emergency personnel, equipment and supplies shall be directed to the Field Command Post for deployment. The Emergency Communications Center (ECC) may be activated at the direction of the Chief. The ECC shall coordinate emergency services throughout the duration of the emergency. The Chief of Police may also designate a Public Information Officer who shall be responsible for all news releases. SUPPORT SERVICES AND INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES Depending on the nature of the emergency, additional manpower needs may arise in other bureaus within the Division. Each respective Deputy Chief shall be advised, by the Section Commanders, of the demands placed on the individual Sections. (Page 3 of 4) Administrative Order 89-01 Emergency Call Back Plan Page Four Each Deputy Chief shall establish manpower requirements within his Sections during the course of the incident. Utilization of established r~call procedures should be considered initially. \ Use of non-uniformed personnel may he necessary. An effort should be made to readily identify those plain clothes officers to the public. Use of coveralls, name-tags, or other means of identification shall be considered. Communications Section During any emergency, the Communications Section serves as the intermediate coordinator of activity and information. The Communications Section's primary responsibilities include the establishment of a Critical Incident Communications Zone (emergency operations channel); continued management of calls for service from the public; and prompt notifications to concerned agencies throughout the period of the emergency, i.e. utility companies, fire division, private contractors. A log of all communications during the incident shall be maintained. (Page 4 of 4) ( OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISOR TO THE BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS CITY OF LOS ANGELES C.
