The code for an a.tt·ack on the Police Academi r~quirl~g · activation of the Defense Plan will be NCode 9-Adam.N All other personnel present at the Academy will be notified in the most expeditious manner possible. The senior Los Angeles Police .Officer present at the Police Academy will be the Offi~er~in~~ha;ge! unless this re~pons~bility is _ delegated. - 2.. In the event of an anticipated attack on. th-e Pol ice Academy, or a situation likely to devel_ op into an attack on the Police Academy, the commanding Officer, Training Division, or his representative, will telephonically request that the Academy stition Defense Plan be actiiated and provide sufficient information to the Rampart Area commanding Officer, or his representative, to allow for an effective response to the situation. In all Academy defense situations, anticipated or not, the Commanding Officer, Rampart Area, or his representative, will dictate what the field resources will be committed to the defense effort. • 1 primary responsibility of Academy~pe~soµnel ·will ·- ~ • ' ::! -- protect property and minimize the possibiliti of injury. o~ -death.

All sworn personnel and security officers assigned - to the Academy will maintain their service revolver and the required reserve ammunition in a place readily accessible to them while on duty at the Academy. -- -· --: - Uporr becoming aware of- an attack on the Pol-i.c-e _ KcadelllY/ - . - . · ~ -== ~-- : ~= - __ --~ those rrr;:aining Division _personnel present _at t~e ~arqet 1 -. - - -shotgun a- nd combat ranges- shall secure operations at th.e.ir ·respective locations and ensure that all sworn personnel · present at the locations are adequately· armed. All ammunition and weapons not being utilized or expected to be J utilized will be secured at that time. Because of the vulnerability factor due to high terrain surrounding the Academy, it would normally be inadvisable to relocate personnel during an attack. However, if the situation allows, personnel should be centrally· contained within the main Academy building to provide a unified and coordinated defense. At that point, consideration should be given to ammunition from the Armory to -the ··Dtain Academy b~ilding ensure that the facility can be defended. During ~he . - . active defense of ~he Academy, ail peisonnel not in . uniform - will display their identification cards. 4. During graduation ceremonies and - other events, large numbers of sworn and civilian personnel may be present on the Academy grounds. Due to the physical layout of the Academy, it would be imposiible in many situatioris involving an attack, to move these people without increasing their exposure to danger. In such instances -~rotection _ is __ iJrunedi.ately a1:l:ail..~p _ l.~ . __ In other situationsi when circumif~nces allow the movement of persons without increasing their exposur~ to danger, those present shall be moved to the main Academy building. Large groups should be moved to the gymnasium area, and guards shall be posted at the windows and entrances as soon as sufficient sworn officers are present. Smaller groups should be moved to the men's locker room in the main building which can be readily secured because of the limited access. 3 . - involved with the at.tacking forces. - Consideration should _ _ be given to conducting a search of these individuals and their belongings. In any event, a guard sho~l~ b~ posted tb both ~rotect and control civilian personnel and - to - eli- minat:e the possibility_ of an a-ttack from w-i-thin .the Academy. 5. In the event of an attack 6n the Academy, special consideration should be given to providing security for the - sh6oting ·ranges, the Armory and the reloading room. These areas contain ·weapons and ammunition that may be the object -of an atta- c· k on the A - cademy. _":'.'--- - - - If su_ffici.ent manpo\rer _is available and the situation permits, guards should be posted at each location. 6. Diagram il indicates the positions within the main building that should be manned by armed officers in the event of an attack. Defense of the Academy will be centrally coordinated from within the main building whenever · possible. Whenever sufficient personnel are not available to cover all the posts indicated on Diagram il, the posts will be then be manned in numerical order (e.g., Post il will be manned first). If sufficient officers ·are available, tw6 4 tbese · posts ·t _ o limit access ·to -t ·he main build.ing - by - whatever means necessary. Communication within the Academy _w~ll ·be maintained -vi~ . •ROVER• units carried br .the on-duty security ~fficers. In th~ absence of security officeis, ihe ~ROVER• units - are stored in the wall cabinet, Room #9, which is located in l the main building. Rover Frequency i4 will be used by Academy personnel to communicate with the Field command Post. 1-. · The commanding officer,--Rampa_ ft Are.a,,. is responsiol-e for · - all situations wherein s~ffic~ent _warning of an impending attack or emergency situa· cion has ·been given. The - commanding Officer _ , Training orvision, or his representative, may, at his discretion, order the suspension of -all activities at the ~cademy to facilitate activation of the Station Defense Plan. All personnel not involved in the defense of the Academy should be evacuated. .;.. -GENERAL . 1.

Rampart units will not normally engage in offensive activities directed to~ards neutralizing or capturing the attacking forces. As offic~rs and equipment become av~il~bl~, the Field commander will allocate suffic_ ient r _ esources to the perimeter to effectively seal off the area. The Fiel<l commander will make requests for additional officers and equipment as needed. The ~ampart Area Station Wagon will be located at the Field command .Post. If the station wagon was not assigned to a f -ield ~ su_pervisor at the time of th_ e activation of th.is plan, it will be the -resp·onsibility of the Rampart Station supervisor to either have it delivered to the Field command Fost or to,obtain a repla-ceme.nt from a nearby division. The Mobil Emergency Response vehicle (MERV van) is also available at Wilshire Station and can be obtained during an emergency via the Wilshire Area Watch commander. 2. When "Code 9-Adam" has been broadcasted by communications Division, all available Rampart units will proceed Code 2 towards the Field command Post location. The Senior Rampart supervisor or officer in the field will be the Field commander. The Field Commander will direct all responding units to switch to Rover Frequency i4. 7 The respondi-ng uni ts will be assigned to restrict· vehic. ular -· and pedes~rian traffic - into and out -of the affected area, ~- as indidated by Diagram i2 • ..:: -· If available~ · an air unit should be used to assist· "in the positiQning of units and to avoid the assignment of a Rampart unit to tactically ·unsound positions·.

The preferred Pield· command Post _ ·sit· e · dur _ ing an - . Police Academy will be·· the ~a val Reserve Armory located ·on Stadium way. The Naval Rese~ve Armory _is geographically located in such a manner that _ it_ ca_ nnot be br_ ought under fire from. the · · high terrain surrounding the Academy. This location has suitable facilities for the establishment of a Field Command Post. The Naval Reserve Armory is staffed 24 hours every day, and access can be obtained after business hours by using the call buzzer located at the Bernard Street gate. A key to this gate is also available in the key cabinet at Rampart Station. The telephone numbers to contact the Naval Reserve Armory Duty Off.ice-r. aie 6-27-28"91 or 6-24-4488. AS sufficient personnel become available, officers shou.ld also be assigned to the security of the command post. Special attention should be given to the high ground surrounding the command post, due to the possibility of sniper fire. In the event of a situation requiring the activation of a mobile Field command Post, the standard procedures for activation, staffing and operation of that unit wiil be followed. The Field commander may choose a different location for the Field command Post other than the Naval Armory. His decision should be based on the needs of the particular situation, i;e. Dodger stadium traffic, other tactical considerations, etc. In any event, the final decision will be made by the Field commander. 9 1 • . .

Whenever possible, two officers should be assigned to each post. Protection for a relatively small number .of people can be provided by locating them in tne main men's locker room. This location can be easily secured by placing armed officers at the two entrances. The main men's locker room is perhaps the best location for a small group to defend itself until resp6nding units gain control of the situation. · 11 .. -~ : . : . :.~ #._::;: /~~? \; PERIMETER FIELD COMMAND POST LOCAT':i:ONS ·.-~ . ~;·~ -- ~ DIAGRAM ii il. ao·ylston stre.et and - Academy Road • . - ·t2.
