TO USE THIS GUIDE: U.O. PLANS FOOTHILL AREA When one of the listed disasters or other emergencies occur, turn to the Table of Contents that details response to that particular incident. This material may be used as the basis for roll call training. I. INTRODUCTION A. PROBLEM Control of an unusual occurrence depends upon immediate mobilization of Department manpower and equipment resources to protect life and property and to prevent escalation. Once mobilized, all Department resources must be efficiently directed, controlled and accounted for. From the beginning, time is a critical factor. Meeting the demands for everyday police sources becomes a matter of habit. Because unusual occurrences are infrequent, it is difficult to suddenly shift from accustomed responsibilities to meet the needs of an unusual situation. During an unusual occurrence, the Field Commander must be immediately provided with necessary manpower and equipment to fulfill police responsibilities within the affected area. At the same time, that part of the City not affected must continue to receive police services commensurate with known and anticipated police problems. The additional problem of Station security relative to possible attacks must be considered. To accomplish these missions, an unusual occurrence organization is needed. 8. SOLUTION The Foothill Area's Unusual Occurrence Manual provides plans to be followed in order to facilitate effective mobilization and security within Foothill Area. Since an unusual occurrence generally necessitates the rapid assembly of a body of personnel, this manual will explain the different phases for activating and deploying personnel. Once assembled, this body of personnel is formed into effective supervised units, directed, controlled and accounted for through operations of the Field Command Post. The uniformed field officer may encounter an unusual occurrence at a number of stages. He may be patrolling in Foothill Area when he observes a large crowd breaking windows and looting stores along Van Nuys Boulevard. He will evaluate, withdraw and call for a supervisor. The supervisor may be required to establish a Command Post and act as Field Conwnander. He may call for a Tactical Alert to which n\Dllerous officers must respond. At any given stage, the effectiveness of every procedure depends upon the knowledge and confidence of the officers who must carry it out. The Department's unusual occurrence organization will not function efficiently unless every officer in every Area is informed concerning its operation -2- and is confident in his ability to take his part in supporting that operation. If there is confusion, if there is delay, it is because someone at some level has failed to understand or has failed to act. This material is intended as a guide to enable Foothill personnel to react in an efficient and effective manner. C. TYPES OF UNUSUAL OCCURRENCES An unusual occurrence is an unscheduled physical event involving potential or actual personal injury or property damage arising from fire, flood, storm, earthquake, tidal wave, landslide, wreck, enemy action, civil disturbance, .or other natural or man caused incident requiring police action. Unusual occurrences have been classified into three types. 1. Minor Unusual Occurrence~ an unusual occurrence which could be handled by the present facilities of one Area with the assistance normally available from other Areas. 2. serious unusual occurrence - an unusual occurrence of such proportion that the facilities usually available to one Area are inadequate to establish control and which requires temporary modification of the Department organization. 3. Major unusual Occurrence - an unusual occurrence which threatens the safety of the City to such an extent that in the opinion of the Chief of Police, or of the officer acting in his place, it is necessary to activate the entire Department for control purposes. II. UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE FIELD PROCEDURES A. RELATED COMMAND AND SUPPORT OPERATIONS 1. Minor unusual Occurrences - Particular minor unusual occurrence, might often require conwnand and support operations which could be conducted efficiently from a properly equipped sergeant's vehicle by a sergeant (or other officer) acting as Field Commander. PRIOR to establishing a Field C011111and Post certain considerations must be made. a. Evaluate the situatio~- 1) The when, where, what and if possible the why and how of the unusual occurrence. 2) May need to assign scouts or establish observation posts (O.P.s). ' -3- 3) Determine the approximate boundaries of the unusual occurrence. b. Kake special notifications 1) Equipment 2) Specialized units, .e.g., SID, Detectives, etc. 3) Tactical alert request. a) Done quickly to alert other Areas. b) Not necessarily a request for response units. c. Select a staging area 1) Adequate space for vehicles and equipment. 2) C011111unications availability. 3) Security. a) Proximity to unusual occurrence. b) Immediate surroundings: high ground, paved surface, fire hazard, etc. 4) Access to freeways and major thoroughfares. 5) Comfort of officers (rest rooms, water, shade). 6) Consult the COMMAND POST SITE BOOK in the trunk of the call car. This book has aerial photos and maps of all possible locations. d. Request necessary help 1) over estimate the number of officers required. 2) over deploy and under react. e. Seal off area. ·~ . 1) Onlookers kept out. 2) Suspects kept in. 3) Containment of civil disturbances. 4) Implement and direct control plans. -4- 2. Basic Field command Post Assignments No matter how small the unusual occurrence is, certain basic assignments should be made every time. Every situation has the potential of escalation. In order for an expanded Field Command Post to work efficiently, the basic assignments must have existed. These assignments should be given to responsible officers. a. Radio Operator/Journal recorder 1) First appointment 2) Keep chronological log of ALL events, communications and decisions. 3) Forward logistical requests. b. Personnel/Staging officer 1) Second appointment 2) Acts as staging officer a) Gathers and processes "Unusual Occurrence Time Cards" b} Forms provisional squads as directed by the Field Commander 3. Expanded Field c011111and Post Assignments The Command Post should be expanded as soon as e~calation occurs or is imminent. At this point the Command Post assignments should be redistribut~d and expanded to include the following individual positions and responsibilities. 1. Personnel a) Anticipates and fulfills personnel needs. b) Maintains personnel records. ~ ·c) Provides Field Command Post security in an expanded operation. 2. Intelligence a) Gathers, records and evaluates unusual occurrence related information. b) Keeps the Field C011111ander informed. -s- 3. Operations a) Plans strategy and tactics. b) Plans deployment of personnel. 4. Logistics a) Provides, maintains and controls equipment, supplies and vehicles. B. MAJOR UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE OPERATIONS PROCEDURES The Field Command Post should be activated during a major unusual occurrence. The aforementioned individual positions would become "Sections." The extent of the situation may require staffing of the Sections prior to the arrival of Field Command Post Division personnel. The positions and Sections should be staffed as follows. 1. Sypport Commander {Executive Officer) a. Assists the Field Commander 2. Operations section a. Planning and control. 3. Intelligence section a. Communication Unit b. Information Unit. 1) Intelligence Division 2) Intelligence Division 3) Scouts c. Perso~el section 1) Personnel pool 2) Medical Unit 3) Jail Unit ~· 4) Security Unit d. Logistics section 1) Staging officer 2) Field Transportation -6- liaison officers. field units. \ Unit 3) Field Stores Unit III. UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE TACTICS A. UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE TACTICS OUTLINE 1. control of Access To Area a. Block off key access routes leading to affected area. 1) Protects innocent citizens from accidental involvement. 2) Prevents large-scale support for opposing groups. 3) Provides intelligence on movement of potential participants. 4) Retains access routes for responding units. 5) Beginning of perimeter control. a) Complete perimeter control not practical in initial stages. 2. Dispersal a. Initial effort to neutralize dangerous and destructive effects of disturbance. 1) Should be swift and decisive. 2) Must still consider size and strength of opposing group. 3) Always over deploy and under react. b- Serves to bring disorder to opposing group. 1) Affords time to assemble and deploy police units. c.~ - •Support initially responding units 1) Allows initially responding units to fall back and regroup. d. Disperse into area least subject to destruction and affording least cover and protection to opponents. 1) Open area. 2) Away from business and commercial areas. -7- e. Clears area and enables application of holding action. 3. controls of strategic High Ground a. Deprives opposing groups of places of advantage from which to attack police. b. Enables police surveillance of larger area. 1) Source of intelligence. 2) Observation posts for direction of ground efforts. 3) Identification and observation of assailants operating from rear of crowds and from behind buildings. c. Place of advantage for anti-sniper units. d. Use of helicopter. 1) Surveillance of rooftops and other high points. 2) Discover hidden assailants. 3) Discover locations of missiles (rocks, bottles, etc.) 4) Observation platform for intelligence gathering. a) Size and dispersal of opposing forces. b) Moving or stationary. c) Potential dispersal area. d) Tactics of opposing groups (e.g. ambush). 5) May be only "high ground" subject to police _ control in initial stages. 4. sweep Area a. Prevents reassembly of riotous groups. b. Allows engagement witll,-recalcitrants who failed or refused to disperse. c. Coordinated effort on broad front. 1} Slowly moving squads or platoons through area. 2) Protect the flanks. -a- d. Hold area cleared by sweep. 1) Personnel left behind to prevent regrouping behind sweep formations. e. Security of sweep force. 1) Potential for sniper attack. 2) Squad movement close to buildings for protection. 3) Avoid skirmish line unless facing large crowd. a) Unnecessary exposure to sniper fire. s. control of Area a. Deployment of control forces. 1) Control of perimeter simultaneously with initial dispersal effort. 2) Prevents spread of disturbance. b. Mobile squad. 1) Sergeant, nine officers and three vehicles operating as a single unit. 2) · Small area 3) Responsibility for all activity in area. 4) No response out of assigned area unless directed by Field Commander. 5) Support for foot patrols. 6) Provide intelligence for Field Commander. 7) Arrest violators. 8) Prevent assemblages. 9) Enforce curfew. NOTE: Mobile Patrol Squads should respond to all calls · for service in their assigned area. 'Incidents exceeding their physical capacity should be dealt with by platoon sized striking forces dispatched by the Field Commander, leaving intact the deployment of control squads within the area. Caution must be exercised by squads on all calls to avoid ambush. -9- c. Foot patrols 1) Squad sized 2) Small area 3) Business district 4) Close support by mobile squad 5) Prevent groups from forming 6) Arrest violators 7) Provide information to Field Commander d. Light striking forces. 1) Mobile reserve 2) Platoon sized 3) Transported by bus 4) Support mobile and foot squads S) Cope with problems exceeding capacity of mobile or foot squads. B. The proceeding outline gives a general description of tactics which could be considered in an unusual occurrence. The following is a more detailed look at the five basic categories of riot suppression tactics. 1. Establishing a network of mobile and foot squad beats. 2. Dispersing the rioter's attack. 3. Gaining high ground control security. 4. Sweeping t~e area-mop up. 5. ·Control of the area. c. Each field Commander must decide what sequence of the above tactics he wishes to employ. He may be guided somewhat by the numbers and type of personnel responding, the actions of the rioters and the size of- the area involved. 1. Mobile and Foot Patrol Almost simultaneously with preparation for a dispersal or attack, plans should be laid for establishing mobile and fbot patrols. -10- / a. If at all possible, the mobile squad patrol should be implemented along the periphery of the affected area at the time the dispersal is made. Mobile Squad Patrol consists of nine police officers and a sergeant working in threes and operating in tandem. b. The area to be covered by a mobile patrol should not be too extensive. If the area is highly urbanized there may be a need for foot patrol in squads. If foot patrols are employed they should be linked with the mobile patrols. c. Mobile and foot patrols should ultimately develop a tight net over the entire affected area handling calls for service, gathering and reporting information, and preventing groups from forming. They should handle all events in their assigned area. Patrols from other areas should not respond unless specifically directed. Any movement out of the assigned area should be at the direction of the Field Commander only. If a patrol squad finds a build up of rioters it cannot handle, it should call for a response from a light striking force. d. Providing that a mobile patrol makes regular checks of foot patrols within its area, it should not be tied to a regular schedule, but should be permi.tted to use its own initiative and thus introduce an element of surprise to make its coverage more effective. e. In addition to its assigned duties, a mobile patrol can be employed. ·1) To access a conanunications link with foot patrols. 2) To act as a mobile reserve to assist foot patrols which clash with rioters before a light striking force is employed. 3) To act on its own initiative against small groups. 4) To patrol between strong points which form a cordon around the affected area· . 5) To patrol access routes. 6) To escort prisoners or injured persons from the scene. 7) To enforce curfew. -11- f. If it is found that a mobile or foot patrol cannot adequately handle the problems confronting the unit, the area should be reduced and an additional patrol added. 2. Light striking Force These units, once the main groups of rioters have been dispersed, mop up sweeps that have advanced through the affected areas, and mobile and foot squad patrols have been put into effect, are the Mobile reserve. a. These units, consisting of up to three squads or a platoon, are transported in a bus or personnel carrier. Any problem the Mobile Squad would be incapable of handling would be dealt with by Light Striking Force units. b. An additional use would be to deploy these units into shopping centers and industrial complexes that might be in the path of the rioters. This technique was used to good advantage during the Watts riots. The foresighted action of sending these into a large shopping center that was outside the affected area, but close enough to be a target, is credited with preventing millions of dollars in damage. 3. Dispersal of Attack If there are large groups of rioters who are looting, throwing rocks, burning and causing extensive injury to life and property, dispersal is a major concern. a. A unit leader, having been assigned a dispersal mission should not permit his Unit to deviate from the objective. There is a tendency to become embroiled in incidents that are observed enroute to an assignment. These should be reported but ordinarily there should be no engagement unless the deviation is directed by the Field C011111ander. b. Upon arriving at the scene, it may be that the original information upon which the mission was -- planned is insufficie~t, exaggerated, or out of date. The Unit leader, before effecting a dispersal, may send out a reconnaissance group to update his information~ If at all possible, the Unit leader should be a part of the reconnaissance. A first hand view is worth a thousand words. It must be remembered that a hasty or ill considered plan based on inaccurate information, or no information: is not only likely to fail, but may also w~ste more time than would be spent making a reconnaissance. -12- c. The Unit leader, in making his appraisal of the situation, should determine the direction in which he intends to disperse the crowd. A riotous crowd should not be dispersed into a business district or residential area foreign to the majority of the rioters. If the rioters are indigenous to the area it may be best to disperse them toward their homes. They should be driven away from such attractive targets and toward an area where the physical features tend to break it up into small parties and into open area where little damage can be done. When moving in to disperse, the direction should be noted and the control force must be alert to the possibility of rioters dispersing into buildings and reforming to attack the rear of the unit. d. There are no hard and fast rules concerning the type of formation to be adopted for dispersal. The principal underlying and plan is to bring to bear as many units, squads, or. platoons, in a coordinated effort as appear necessary to break the resistance of the crowd and disperse it. If gas is to be used, surrounding businesses, nearby non-involved civilians, and wind direction should be considered. e. By attacking from more than one direction simultaneously, each section of the crowd, against which an attack is delivered, is made to fear for its own safety. Thus, the common purpose linking the rioters is broken an~ the task of dispersing them made easier. f. Two possible methods of attack which satisfy these principles are the "Pincer" and "Flanking" attacks. A "Pincer" attack is delivered from the front and both flanks. This tends to drive the crowd before the frontal attack. A "Flanking" attack is delivered from the front and one flank. This tends to drive the crowd toward the open flank. An attack from both the front and rear may allow some rioters to escape to the rear of the advancing units - this is highly undesirable. g. It is better that too many squads be involved in the attack than too few. An unsuccessful dispersal attack can prove extre~ely costly in time lost and increased disorder. h. Naturally, a crowd cannot be completed bottle up. It is elementary that they must be given an avenue of escape, otherwise they may have no alternative but to stand and fight. -13- · 4. High Ground security and control Control of high ground, rooftops and vantage points must be gained as quickly as possible in the initial stages of the control action. a. Helicopter patrol can assist in accomplishing control of high ground. It may be that the only control in the early stages will come from the helicopter. At least helicopters can be used to spot rioters who are operating on top of buildings or other high areas. b. SWAT teams may be requested for deployment to high ground in order to guard against sniper fire. c. An additional value of maintaining control of the high ground is to provide a source of information. Officers positioned properly on rooftops not only will be in a position to protect the ground forces, but also will be in a position to stop potential problems. Rock throwers, for example, are almost always found to be the rear of a crowd or hiding behind a building where they cannot be spotted by units on the ground that are being bombarded. Rooftop control can spot the rock throwers and direct ground forces in a strategic approach. In addition, they will be able to identify the rock thrower. s. sweeping the Area After a successful dispersal, the dispersing crowd should be followed, hurried along and not allowed to reform. Rioters should be driven off the streets and .as many as possible, particularly agitators, should be arrested. a. Mopping up can be accomplished by deploying squads to sweep through the riot affected area on a broad front. b. Sweeping tactics should be used to clear an area infested with small and elusive groups of rioters; · ·. ·or when it is apparent that the crowd is giving way and breaking easily into small groups. c. Sweeps were found to be ·effective in Watts, but some that were conducted by use of skirmish lines were ineffective. If there is only a small group remaining in the area, these can be dispersed by bringing squad pressure to bear on the specific locations of the groups. Sweeps can be expedited by assigning them to mobile units that dismount only when nec~ssary to engage a group of rioters. -14- d. Sweeps are particularly effective in ferreting out rioters who have remained behind to cause additional damage or violence. e. If a sweep is conducted on foot, squads probably should be moved in single file next to buildings for protection. The skirmish line moving down the center of the street with no one confronting it accomplishes nothing and provides snipers with excellent targets. f. The sweep should be a steadily advancing force; it should disperse small groups and arrest violators. The pace should be slow enough to observe inside buildings, side streets and alleys. Officers should not break ranks to chase rioters. If units are deployed properly on the flanks, rioters escaping one sweep unit will undoubtedly run into a flanking unit. 6. control Of the Area Once some of the more vital control problems have been taken care of, it may be necessary for the police to establish a perimeter control sealing the area. Isolating the disturbed area is best accomplished by an extended line of roa<ll>locks encompassing the area. a. If units are deployed to seal off an area they should be connected by either mobile or foot patrol. The patrols are then in position to deal with small groups intent upon harassing a roa<ll>lock. b. While perimeter control may not be accomplished in the early stages of control activity, it does not mean that certain key intersections should not be blocked. Four reasons for maintaining control of certain main arteries are: 1) To retain access routes. 2) To prevent assistance from forming to aid rioters. 3) To prevent innocent people from wandering into the area. 4) To keep the traffic flow to a minimum within the affected area. c. Fires, earthquakes and plan crashes, unlike civil disturbances, Area planning is not practical in the above situations as there are too many variables. In each of these cases the ' prime responsibility of -15- extinguishing fires and aiding the injured will probably fall to another City department. But, since police will probably be first on the scene, certain preliminary courses of action should be considered by officers. 1) Request necessary help, i.e., Fire Department, ambulances and police officers. 2) Seal off the affected area. 3) If looting is imminent take precautions. 4) Consider evacuation routes. IV. MOBILIZATION PROCEDURES The procedure for the recalling of off-duty personnel in an unusual occurrence mobilization is described in the following outline. A. MATERIALS 1. Watch Assignment Boards The "A" and 11 8 11 watch assignment boards hang on the north wall of the Analytical Office. The boards list officers preassigned to 12 hour watches in the event of a mobilization. Approximately 45\ of the Area personnel are on the "A" watch and 55\ on the 11 8 11 watch. a. Watch Times 1) 11 A 11 Watch - 0630 to 1900 hours 2) 11 8 11 Watch - 1830 to 0700 hours 2. Rolodex File The cards contain up to date residence and telephone information on Area personnel. The file is kept in the Watch Conwnander's Office. a .. · ·The "A" and 11 8 11 watches are divided. b. The lists are all in alphabetical order. The supervisors should be ~ ~elephoned first so as to be available for forming squads, preparing briefings, etc. 3. f.2.DU All unusual occurrence forms are kept in the Records · Unit. RD maps and street location references are also kep~ in the Records Unit. -16- B. CALL UP PROCEDURE The Area Commander will activate the Area Mobilization Plan. The on-duty watch commander will immediately - activate the Area call up system. He should appoint a supervisor to. coordinate the call up detail. 1. The supervisor the call up detail may use officers of the Analytical ·Unit and Crime Prevention Unit officers. 2. Approximately eight people (in addition to the supervisor) should be assigned to the call up detail. Six people should be assigned to make the calls. Anyone in the station is fair game: officers on Code 7 or making reports, record clerks, desk and jail officers, etc. A unit should not be stripped beyond its capacity to function. 3. As the notifications ~re being made, the officer's name, telephone number and the time the call was made should be centered on the notification form. If the officer answers, the 11 yes 11 box is checked and his estimated time of arrival at the station entered. 4. Keep conversation to a minimum. Only the most brief explanation should be given to anyone answering a call. Time is essential. The maximum number of officers is needed in the shortest possible time to establish control. 5. The two remaining personnel are used as a router and a plotter. The router gathers the notification forms from the telephone positions every five or ten minutes and gives them to the supervisor. The supervisor hands them to the plotter who removes the names from the watch assignment columns and places them into teams on the same board. 6. The supervisor should tally the names on the notificati9n forms every five or ten minutes to provide the w~tch commander with an accurate status report. The watch commander records the latest information on Form 14.~, "Unusual Occurrence Personnel Status Re.port." -17- TABLE OF CONTENTS Volume I I. PLAN MAINTENANCE/DISTRIBUTION II. U.O.

OPERATIONS VALLEY BUREAU, U.S.G ........................... 1 COPY LOGISTICS Current information as to Area logistics may be found in the Watch Commander's office and/or Kit Room on the Daily Security Log which inventories radios, TASERS and in-use shotguns. Current information on reserve shotguns and in-service vehicles may be obtained from the Kit Room Equipment Coordinator. 1. BARRICADES Barricades may be obtained by phoning the Los Angeles City Street Maintenance yard at City Extension 55661, or through the Chief Operator, City Hall Communications after 1700 hours and on weekends at City Extension 57100. 2. BANNER GUARD TAPE Yellow tape - "Police Line Do Not Cross". Kept in Watch Commander's Office. 3. FLARES Flares are kept at Foothill Station's change of watch area in one pallet . quantities. Extra flares may be obtained in emergencies by phoning · Detective Headquarters at City Extension 53261. 4. SANDBAGS Burlap bags suitable for sandbags are usually maintained at City Fire Stations for easy community dispersal. Fire Station #24 is at 9411 Wentworth, City Extension 38624. Fire Station #72 is at 7777 Foothill Boulevard, City Extension 38674. Sandbags are also kept in large quantities at the Los Angeles County Flood Control yard, 10179 Glenoaks Boulevard - 818-896-0594 or 213-226-4308. 5. RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING EQUIPMENT Three radiol~gical monitoring kits are maintained by Foothill Area. All three are kept in the ROVER cabinet of the Kit Room~ 6. MEDICAL SUPPLIES First Aid kits are maintained at convenient locations in Foothill Station. The sources of other specialized equipment are contained in the individual plans, ' as ·well as i~ Section #17 of the "Watch Commanders' Guide for Control of Disasters and Other Emergencies." PROLOGUE In the past, th~ Department Tactical Manual has not been readily available to key Department personnel involved in disaster operations. Therefore, valuable information was not widely known by personnel who often needed this information the most. To correct this deficfency, the "Emergency Operations Guide - Disasters" was developed by Tactical Planning Section. Although not designed to replace the Tactical Manual as a reference, in this condensed form it does contain essential information considered to be valuable to those involved in field operations. All sworn personnel and selected civilian personnel, e.g., Police Service Representatives, Traffic Officers, etc., should become familiar with the Emergency Operations Guide contents and keep it available for quick reference whenever necessary. The section "Disasters and Other Emergencies" deserves your special attention. I have asked the Personnel Department to use the Guide rather than the Tactical Manual as a source of questions for future promotional examinations. If you have any questions, recommendations or suggestions, contact Tactical Planning Section at extension 54011 . . DARYL F.

It is located within the policing jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Police Department, Foothill Area. The facility can accommodate up to 92 male probationers between the ages of 18 and 19. It has a staff of 29 and is manned on a 24 hour basis. The primary role of this camp is fire training and suppression. The Los Angeles County Fire Department assists in this training and has a minimal staff housed at this facility. The camp has a current emergency procedure plan. In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation the following vehicles are available: five fire personnel carriers, one 12 passenger van, one station wagon and one stake bed truck. The camp also has a helicopter pad. In the event an evacuation is required these vehicles would be used to transport probationers to either Camp Karl Holton or Sylmar Juvenile Hall. Big Tujunga Canyon Road is the main ingress and egress into the camp. Since the facility is entirely within the City of Los Angeles, Foothill Area would have primary jurisdiction in all matters of an emergency nature. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department could, however, be called upon to assist as the need arose. Presently Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station handles all camp escapes and follow-up. A copy of the facility's emergency procedures and schematic is attached with this report.

' ' I' OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER HO. 6 SEPTEMBER 15, 1989 SUBJECT: EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES . The Department has established emergency plans for all sworn and civilian employees during a disaster as stated in the Personnel Policy statement of Mayor's Executive Directive No. 54. The policy statement outlines the responsibilities of all City employees. Applicable responsibilities created by Mayor's Executive Directive No. 54 are included in the attachment to this Administrative Order. As the Director of the Emergency Operations Organization, the Mayor is empowered to declare the existence of a disaster or local emergency. Chapter 3, Section 8.30, of the Los Angeles Administrative Code and the City's Emergency Operations Master Plan stipulate the Mayor, "may require emergency service of any City officer, employee, or citizen and may requisition necessary personnel or materials of any City department or agency." It is essential that all City employees remain physically and mentally prepared to assist the citizens of Los Angeles during a disaster. Commanding officers shall ensure that each sworn employee, line and technical reserve police officer, and civilian employee in their command receives a copy of this Administrative Order. Commanding officers shall forward a divisional roster with the signatures of those persons who have received a copy, and an anticipated date of service for each person who has not received a copy, to Personnel and Training Bureau no later than one Deployment Period after receipt of this Administrative Order. Commanding officers shall make monthly updates until all personnel in their command have received a copy of this Administrative Order. Q~ck DARYL F. GATES ~ '- Chief of Police Attachment DISTRIBUTION •p• CITY OF IDS. ANGELES PERSONNEL POLICY FOR DISASTER RESPONSE Employee Responsibility Whenever a disaster occurs, the citizens of Los Angeles inevitably look to City government for leadership and assistance in mitigating its effects, and it is vital that all City employees be available to assist in responding, regardless of whether they work in public safety positions. Recognizing this, the City's Emergency Operations Master Plan and the Los Angeles Administrative Code (Chapter 3, Sec. 8.30) both provide that the Mayor "may require emergency ·service of any City officer, employee, _ or citizen, and may requisition necessary personnel or material of any City department or agency." Moreover, in any emergency, City employees may be assigned, regardless of their civil service class, any duties that they are capable of performing safely. It is, therefore~ the policy of the City of Los Angeles that in the event of a disaster during normal working hours, all City employees shall remain at work to make themselves available for disaster relief, and each General Manager is responsible to ensure that their employees do so. No supervisor is authorized to release any employee from work in the event of a disaster, without the approval of his/her General Manager. Employees who leave without such authorization shall be subject to discipline. Whenever a disaster occurs outside normal working hours, all employees in public safety operations shall respond according to established emerg~ncy response procedures for their departments. All other employe~s are hereby directed to listen to the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) which can be found on most radio and television stations, and to comply with instructions given for City employees. In general, all employees will be expected to report to work as normal unless they are informed over the EB? or other media that the Mayor's Office or the City's Emergency Operations Board has directed that non-essential employees not report to work. An alleged failure to hear or receive instructions given over the EBS will not excuse employees from any failure to respond, and employees who fail to report may be subject to discipline. Release of Employees - Mayor'~ Authority - Only the Mayor has the authority to order a general release of City employees in the event of any disaster. However, the Mayor may authorize department General Managers to exercise their judgement in .. releasing individual employees or work units to return home. This decision will consider the total scope of the -2- emergency at hand, including, but not limited to, the followi~g factors: • The condition of local transportation routes; employees will . not.be permitted to leave work if their attempts to return home would otherwise exacerbate existing transportation problems; • The availability of safe work sites and, in the event of an extended stay, the availability of food and other support services and facilities; • The need .for City personnel; * The scope of the disaster and the resources needed to respond; and * Whether the ·need to provide support services for City employees would otherwise interfere with or detract from the efforts to respond to the disaster. Release of Employees - General Managers' Authority Notwithstanding the release authority of the Mayor, department General Managers may otherwise release employees by authorizing emergency vacation or personal leave in the following cases: * When an employee 1s psychologically or physically incapacitated to the degree that he/she is unable to function effectively, provided that no employee will be released unless they are able to care for and transport themselves. * When the City is unable to provide shelter or services to support the continued presence of the employee(s) at work. * When the Mayor's Office has called for a general release of employees in non-disaster positions and the General Manager is aware that the employee will not be needed for disaster relief. * When the continued presence of the person at the work site would present a direct hazard to them or to others. # ) CIVIL DEFENSE WARNING PLAN FOOTHILL AREA January 1992 r----- ----------------- INTRODUCTION This plan deals with actions to be taken during a Civil Defense Warning, prior to the detonation of a nuclear device. The primary objectives .of this plan are · twofold: 1) Aiding the general populace to shelter and; 2) The sheltering of members of Foothill Area. This plan does not deal with actions required, subsequent to a nuclear attack, or with nonnuclear civil defense conditions. WARNING SIGNALS "Attention or Alert Signal" A three to five minute steady blast means at attack probable, or a threatened or impending peacetime emergency, which will occur up to 24 hours later. "Attack Warning Signal" A three to five minute wavering sound on sirens, or a series of short blasts on whistles or horns means an attack imminent. which will occur in approximately ten minutes. SHELTER LOCATIONS The nearest shelter location may be found by consulting the attached zip code map to find the zip code you are in, and then finding a shelter within that zip code on the following pages. Shelter Protection Factor Each shelter location may have one or two categories of protection factor {PF 0-1 and PF 2-8). PF 2-8 affords the greater protection. Each protection factor number indicates a protection from one percent of gamma radiation. PF 2-8 = two to eight percent of gamma radiation being filtered. SPECIAL AREA RESPONSIBILITIES "I;' A. ATTACK PROBABLE WARNING 1. on Duty - a. Station and Field Personnel *Allow only nonessential civilian personnel to return to their residences. *Advise all personnel of approved shelter locations (see Addenda). *Station personnel should use the station basement as a shelter. -1- *Assign one officer to pick up Area shelter kit at Supply Division.

BACKGROUND The Wildlife Waystation is a private wild animal preserve located in Little Tujunga Canyon, four miles north of the Los Angeles City limits, at 14831 Little Tujunga Canyon Road. The Wildlife Waystation is operated for the purpose of placing wild animals into temporary refuge until they may be returned to their natural environment or to a zoo. Some animals require long term or permanent quarters at the Wildlife Waystation because of undesirable personalities or an inability to survive in their natural environment. The Waystation is directed by its founder and President, Martine Colette. There are 400 animals contained at the Waystation, 100 of which are of the lion, tiger, wolf, bear and large monkey categories that would be considered dangerous to man. The containment and security procedures are as secure as can be expected and are on a par with large public zoos. Animals are in individual chain link or steel bar cages, with roofs and padlocked doors. The cages are contained within a 10 foot chain link, barbed wire topped, locked fence. The compound is the sole occupant of a box canyon of about 40 acres within the Angeles National Forest. The area is typical steep foothills and chaparral and would be considered uninhabited mountains except for several residences on Little Tujunga Canyon Road between the City limits and the Waystation. The forest is generally uninhabited beyond the Waystation for about seven miles. The area changes to some pine and oak woodlands as the elevation increases. The road terminates in Sand Canyon, Santa Clarita Valley. The enclosures should withstand the usual effects of nature or efforts of man or beast to breach containment. The remote terrain will provide a natural barrier by the difficulty of movement through it, as well as distance providing a buffer. However, the terrain will certainly make spotting and recapture more difficult, prolonging the incident. The City of Los Angeles is generally downgrade from the Waystation and the natural instincts of lon9 time captive animals is to either remain where they are, because of home instincts, or to go in a general upward direction, which would be away from the City. Should a dangerous animal, or multiple animals, escape the following procedures should be implemented. OPERATION PLAN A. Plan concept Th~ W~ldlife Waystation is within the County of Los Angeles, leaving jurisdiction and responsibility with agencies of the County. The plan attempts to protect the people of Los Angeles in a manner consistent with the goals of all concerned agencies. To do so, the first responding unit shall assume command and will be responsible for implementation of this plan. A field command post should be established at Hansen Dam Recreation Center, Fenton Street and Foothill Boulevard. Officers in helicopters, or radio cars , on the few paved roads in the area, shall patrol the area of the Waystation and spot any animal likely to enter the City. Once spotted, the animal may be rendered harmless by use of tranquilizer guns owned and operated by members of Los Angeles City Department of Animal Regulation, the Wildlife Waystation or Los Angeles County Animal Control. These personnel and equipment should be already on board any helicopter in use for this purpose. Once tranquilized, Wildlife Waystation or animal control personnel should be given all assistance required to transport them to the scene to contain the animal. Removal of an animal would ordinarily be conducted by animal control personnel. Concurrent with searching for the animal, the public should be warned by use of news broadcasts through police radio and television (see Notifications). In the event tranquilizing and containment are not feasible, animal control officers are in possession of high powered rifles to kill the animal. At the discretion of the field commander, Los Angeles Police Department S.W.A.T. teams may be called to form a perimeter around habitated areas because of an animal's ferocity, a large number of animals exceeding the capabilities of other forces, or because inclement weather or darkness eliminated the use of helicopters. The use of Department hand guns and shotguns should be avoided because they would be ineffective on large animals and could enrage the animal(s). Personnel should not be deployed on foot or horseback because of obvious dangers. a.

The building is located on a hillside between Sunland Boulevard and La Tuna Canyon Road, on the La Tuna Canyon side and is visible only from the La Tuna Canyon side. The facility is accessed via an unmarked private driveway from Sunland Boulevard. There is a secondary paved access from Sunland Boulevard at Green Verdugo Drive, which is normally gated and locked. A dirt power line road also goes from .. the facility entrance, past the facility's helipad on to the La Tuna Canyon power line, but does not currently go through to La Tuna Canyon Road. The facility is largely computer operated, measuring the power demands of the City many times per second and appropriately adjusting the power output of hydro and steam generating facilities, as well as switching it through the grid system. The means of control and communications from the ECC to all outlying generating and distribution stations are via microwave. The antenna is located on the roof of the building and goes to a relay on Mt. Lukens, RD 1686, at the end of Haines Canyon Motorway. Messages are relayed via microwave to the DWPs general operating building in downtown Los Angeles. The building is windowless with a poured concrete floor and walls and a truss type roof. The building does have grade level, unguarded entry doors, as the only access on two sides. The air conditioning system is a recirculating, refrigeration type, with fresh air inlets on the east side of the building . ground level and on the roof. Fresh air inlets may be blocked off if necessary. The perimeter of the building is protected by an eight-foot high chain link fence with a remote control inlet gate at the driveway, controlled by personnel within the building. An intercom system and voice recognition are the only security control for the gate entrance. SECURITY PLAN In the event that the Police Department must provide security for the DWP ECC, the following positions should be staffed with ROVER communications with one officer or more per position depending upon the need. The objective of security at the facility is to maintain the integrity of the microwave communications system on the outside and to prevent interference with the internal operations either by unauthorized entry or inside environmental pollution. 1. Inside ECC building for radio and telephone communications . . 2. Helicopter landing pad for observation of the facility (needs a radio car). 3. Top of hillside, south side of building for observation of facility. 4. Front gate for normal driveway control (needs a radio car). •· .... S. Mt. Lukens may or may not be accessible by car or 4-wheel drive vehicle and may need helicopter transportation. The Mt. Lukens should be considered optional depending on the expected need. Although it is critical to the operation, it is not well known except to involved personnel from DWP and private contractors.

The north fence , as well as the north section of the east fence, i~ topped with barbed wire. The entire area of the fence is lighted. Due to the size of the complex, it could easily be breached by infiltrators. It is hypothesized that the main targets within the facility wou1d be: 1. The ten fuel oil storage tanks located on the north central portion (see map). 2. The transformers located near the center of the complex. 3. The natural gas intake line located near the west fence line (see map). If the need arose, a co111nand post could be established in the parking lot adjacent to the Administration Building. There is a telephone at the location. Responding units should be directed to enter by the main gate. This gate is the only one that is unlocked and guarded during normal operations of the plant. If a helicopter is utilized by the conunand post, it can be landed at Whiteman Air Park, which is near Foothill Station. The LAPD Air unit will be available at extension 52600 or via Communications Division. There is a Los Angeles County Flood Control District access road that runs parallel to the north fence. The road can be utilized by entering from Glenoaks Boulevard just south of the Tujunga Wash. A key for the gate can be obtained from the watch commander's office or the civilian security force at the plant can be reached at 818-767-0468 or the main office downtown at 213-481-3067 .

Response location, observation locations, perimeter control and a basic lay out of the area will assist the field supervisor in taking the initial action at the scene. I. COMMAND POST A. Foothill Boulevard and Arroyo Street, northwest corner parking lot. 8. Foothill Station, 12760 Osborne Street. II. PERIMETER CONTROL A. As the units arrive they should be assigned in the following order: 1. One officer to monitor .the radio. 2. One officer to maintain the log. 3. Two officers to the hill overlooking the armory. You reach this post by driving to the dead end of Vaughn Street, then walking to the top of the hill. a. These officers should have a ROVER unit and binoculars. 4. Arroyo Street and Montero Avenue. 5. Arroyo Street and driveway into the armory. 6. Arroyo Street and Foothill Boulevard. 7. Arroyo Street and Gladstone Avenue. B. By posting officers in the above locations they could control the perimeter and also be an observation post to feed back information to the Command Post. C. When it becomes apparent that the armory has been taken over by unknown persons and there is a possibility of gun fire, traffic can be diverted at Foothill Boulevard and Arroyo Street as this is the only street leading into the area. III. PERSONNEL NOTIFICATION ROSTER A. Contact should be made in the order listed below.

CONTINGENCY PLAN ENERGY CONTROL CENTER OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER 10322 Sunland Boulevard Sunland 818 352-9981 January 1992 FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Los Angeles Department of Water. and Power (DWP) owns and operates the Energy Control Center (ECC), located at 10322 Sunland Boulevard, next to the Green Verdugo Reservoir, also owned by the DWP. The building is located on a hillside between Sunland Boulevard and La Tuna Canyon Road, on the La Tuna Canyon side and is visible only from the La Tuna Canyon side. The facility is accessed via an unmarked private driveway from Sunland Boulevard. There is a secondary paved access from Sunland Boulevard at Green Ve~dugo Drive, which is normally gated and locked. A dirt power line road also goes from the facility entrance, past the facility's helipad on to the La Tuna Canyon power line, but does not currently go through to La Tuna Canyon Road. The facility is largely computer operated, measuring the power demands of the City many times per second and appropriately adjusting the power output of hydro and steam generating facilities, as well as switching it through the grid system. The means of control and communications from the ECC to all outlying generating and distribution stations are via microwave. The antenna is located on the roof of the building and goes to a relay on Mt. Lukens, RD 1669, at the end of Haines Canyon Motorway. Messages are relayed via microwave to the DWPs general operating building in downtown Los Angeles. The building is windowless with a poured concrete floor and walls and a truss type roof. The building does have grade level, unguarded entry doors, as .the only access on two sides. The air conditioning system is a recirculating, refrigeration type, with fresh air inlets on the east side of the building ground level and on the roof. Fresh air inlets may be blocked off if necessary. The perimeter of the building is protected by an eight-foot high chain link fence with a remote control inlet gate at the driveway, controlled by personnel within the building. An intercom system and voice recognition are the only security control for the gate entrance. SECURITY PLAN In the event .that the Police Department must provide security for the DWP ECC, the following positions should be staffed with ROVER communications with one officer or more per position depending upon the need. The objective of security at the facility is to maintain the integrity of the microwave communications system on ' the outside and to prevent interference with the internal operations either by unauthorized entry or inside environmental pollution. · 1. Inside ECC building' for radio and telephone connunications. 2. Helicopter landing pad for observation of the facility (needs a radio car). 3. Top of hillside, south side of building for observation of facility. 4. Front gate for normal driveway control (needs a radio car). 5. Mt. Lukens may or may not be accessible by car or 4-wheel drive vehicle and may need helicopter transportation. The Mt. Lukens should be considered optional depending on the expected need. Although it is critical to the operation, it is not well known except to involved· personnel from DWP and private contractors.

It is located within the polic ing jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Police Department, Foothill Division. The facility can accomodate up to 90 male probationers between the ages of 18 and 19. It has a staff of 29 and is manned on a 24 hour basis. The primary role of this probation camp is fire training and suppression. The Los Angeles County Fire Department assists in this training and has a minimal staff housed at this faci lity. The camp has a current emergency procedure plan. In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation the following vehicles are available: five fire personnel carriers, one 12 passenger van, one station wagon and one stake bed truck. The camp also has a helicopter pad. In the event an evacuatio.n is required these vehicles would be used to transport probationers to either Camp Karl Holton or Sylmar Juvenile Hall. Big Tujunga Canyon Road is the main ingress and egress into the camp. Historically in times of heavy rains the roadway has experienced significant damage virtually making it im passable. Recently, a section of the roadway from the camp entrance south approximately 1/4 mile was washed away and had to be rebuilt. It is possible to walk northwest from the camp through brush to Mt. Gleason Road. Since tha ·ficility is entirely within the City of Los Angeles, Foothill Division would have primary jurisdiction in all matters of an emergent nature. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department could, however, b~called upon to assist as the need arose. Presently Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station handles all camp escapes and follow-up. A copy of the facility's emergency procedures and schematic is attached with this report. SM/sh ..

The police objective is the preservation of life and the protection of property. This entails assisting in evacuation efforts; the prevention of thefts, burglaries and other disaster-related crimes; the diversion and control of traffic, so as to allow for emergency equipment and manpower to operate effectively and efficiently; and a constant coordinated liaison with other involved agencies. Two systems for the implementation of this plan have been designed. The first system is initiated by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District when their weather sources indicate the necessity for implementing a phase alert system. The second system is initiated by the Watch Commander when, independent of the Flood Control District, he receives information from either field officers or ci_ tizens regarding rain and subsequent flooding and mud slide conditions. LOS ANGELES COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT INITIATED PHASE ALERT SYSTEM A phase alert system has been devised by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District {LACFCD) to alert Foothill Area in the event anticipated rain storms are severe enough to create serious problems in the City. Each of the three phases are determined by the intensity of the rain storm {e.g. 2 inches of rain in 5 hours), rather than by the total number of inches of rain for the duration of the storm. Phases may be received singularly (e.g. "This is a Phase II Alert"), or may proceed in succession (e.g. 1800 hours--"This is a Phase I Alert," 2200 hours- "We are now in a Phase II Alert"). NOTE: Light rains may occur which do not, according to their intensity, indicate any flooding problems. When these are either forecast or are occurring, no phase will be designated. THE FOLLOWING IS A GRAPHlC VIEW OF THE PHASE NOTIFICATION PROCESS FOOTHILL WATCH COMMANDER City Engineer Street Maintenance Sewer Maintenance Fire Department Animal ·Regulations L.A.C.F.C.D. CHP 1 Other County Agencies L.A. SHERIFF'S OFFICE Glendale P.O. When L.A.C.F.C.D. receives a report of anticipated rain, it will determine the appropriate phase and innediately notify the Foothill Area Watch Co11111ander who will, in turn, notify the concerned City agencies as follows: A. Notify when any phase is declared: Public Works Department, City Engineer's Office, Extension 55143 B. Notify only when specific services are needed: Street Maintenance, Extension 6-485 5661 or 6-485 2121 Sewer Maintenance, Extension 6-485 5884 (for blockages) Fire Department, Extension 58624 or 6-485 7001 Animal Regulation, Extension 58445 or 58481 Fire Department Operations Control Division, Extension 6-485 6005 FOOTHILL AREA SELF-INITIATED FLOOD CONTROL SYSTEM When the Watch Commander, independent of any notifications from L.A.C.F.C.D., receives information from either field officers or citizens regarding rain and subsequent flooding and mud slide conditions, he shall make the same notifications as indicated in the Phase Alert System section. NOTE: The City Engineer's Office would like to be notified when any problems develop involving street closures or potential property damage. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION A. AREA I Area I encompasses those canyons east of Foothill Boulevard, between Maclay and Wentworth. The corresponding reporting districts are 1629, 1659, 1639 and 1666. 1. Lopez Canyon 2. Kagel Canyon 3. Little Tujunga Canyon 4. Cassara Canyon 5. Oliver Canyon 6. Schwartz Cahyon Phase I Anticipated Problems Possible flooding with accompanying mud and debris on surface streets below all canyons. It is not likely the streets will be impassible. Phase II Anticipated Problems Possible closure of many streets due to mud, debris and excessive water run off. · The City ~ureau of Engineering has determined that the following streets are likely to be the first affected: 2 1. Foothill Boulevard at Foothill Place 2. Foothill Boulevard at Esko 3. Foothill Boulevard at Christy 4. Foothill Boulevard between Orcas and Clybourn s. Clybourn at Longford 6. Osborne from Foothill Boulevard east to the City limits 7. Kagel Canyon from Eldridge east to the City limits Possible structural damage due to mud slides to those homes situated at the base of the hills located east of Foothill Boulevard between Orcas and Esko. Phase II Anticipated Problems The L.A.C.F.C.D. has indicated that in a Phase II alert, we can anticipate the closure of Lopez and Kagel Canyons to vehicular and pedestrian travel. L.A.C.F.C.D. has notified all citizens residing in these canyons (County property) that they can expect total isolation from the City if they remain in the affected area. There will be structural damage and probably evacuation will be necessary. The children of these County residents attend schools in the Los Angeles City. L.A.C.F.C.D. has advised these County residents to maintain a minimum supply of 7 days food and water. City residents located east of Foothill Boulevard between Maclay and Wentworth will experience heavy flooding with attendant mud and debris closing all City streets to vehicular traffic. It is probable that Foothill Boulevard between Van Nuys and Wentworth will be impassible due to heavy flooding. That area east of Foothill Boulevard between Orcas and Esko will most · likely experience serious flood conditions with a high probability of mud slides that may require evacuation from residential structures. See Addendum #7 for information lists on residents that reside in critical areas. The lists are arranged in alphabetical order and also by street address. e. AREA II Area II encompasses those canyons north of Foothill Boulevard between Wentworth and Lowell. The corresponding reporting districts are 1668, 1686, 1687, 1669 and , 1689. 1 . Ebey Canyon 2. Doane Canyon 3. Akens Canyon 4. Big Tujunga Canyon S. Zachau Canyon 6. Rowley Canyon 7. Haines Canyon 8. Blue Gwn Canyon 9. Blanchard Canyon Phase· 1 Anticipated Problems Probable flooding with accompanying mud and debris on surface streets. It is not likely- the streets will be impassible. 3 Phase II and III Anticipated Problems Possible closure of many streets due to mud, debris and excessive water run off. The City Bureau of Engineering has determined that the following streets are likely to be the first affected. 1. Day Street between Lowell and Pali 2. Blanchard Canyon at Marnice 3. Haines Canyon north of Apperson 4. Parsons Trail 5. Seven Hills Drive between Commerce and Seven Hills Place 6. Mt. Gleason and Deneville 7. Mt. Gleason and Rim Canyon 8. Oro Vista and Riverwood Drive 9. Ebey Canyon Road and Oro Vista There is the possibility of isolation to the residents of the Riverwood Ranch area as Oro Vista and Riverwood Drive may be impassible. Possible structural damage could result in the Blanchard Canyon area and Alpine Village. The Riverwood Ranch area and Alpine Village are the most susceptible to isolation. The entrance to the Riverwood area is Oro Vista across the Big Tujunga Wash to Riverwood Drive (a private road). Riverwood area houses 36 families. The structures are elevated enough to withstand flooding and mud slides. Riverwood Drive is subject to mud slides; however, the residents mutually own a tractor and can keep the road clear of mud and debris. The main probl~m is the inability to the resident to cross the Big Tujunga Wash in the event of flooding. L.A.C.F.C.D. has advised the residents that they can expect total isolation for approximately 7 days in a Phase III situation. There is a possible escape route leading out of Riverwood. This is Conover Street, which is a dirt road that leads over to Foothill Boulevard. It is likely to wash out in a Phase III situation, but may be passible on foot. Alpine Village, located southeast of Big Tujunga Canyon Boulevard and Mt. Gleason, is a development· of single-family residences. L.A.C.F.C.D. has determined that in a Phase III situation, the Big Tujunga Wash may fill and overflow, thus causi~g Big Tujunga Canyon Boulevard, between Mt. Gleason and Oro Vista, to become impassible. If such a situation occurs, Alpine Village residents will become isolated to vehicular traffic. Alpine Village is also very susceptible to mud slides closing internal roadways in the village and damaging individual structures. Blanchard Canyon contains 30 residential structures, many of which are constructed at the base of the canyon. The walls of the canyon are very steep and are susceptible to slides. Sister Elsie Drive and Parsons Trail are elevated enough to withstand the rain; however, the roadways are subject to mud ·slides and evacuation efforts may bec9me necessary. See Addendum 11 for information lists on ~ residents that reside in the critical areas. The lists are arranged by alphabetical order and by street address. 4 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES NOTE: TIIIS IS A GUIDE ONLY. ACTUAL SITUATIONS WILL REQUIRE FLEXIBILITY AND DISCRETION. A. PHASE I 1.

The Detective Commanding Officer's office can be used for Press Relations. 5. In a major command post situation or when the need exists for constant radio and telephonic communications between the Field Commander and other agencies (The City engineer, Street Maintenance, Fire Department, Sheriff Department, Red Cross, etc.), Mobile I should be requested from Tactical Planning Section extensiori 6-485 4011. When Tactical Planning is closed, the request should be made through DHD, extension 6-485 3261. Arrangements have been made to park Mobile I across the spaces currently provided for the three captains' vehicles on the southeast corner of the station (see Addendum #4). Arrangements have also been made with Public Utilities for a direct ring down line between Mobile I and the Sergeant's room and for two outside lines in Mobile I (#896-7416/7417 ). The request for these lines from Public Utilities should be made through the Mobile I driver from · Tactical Planning section. The City Engineer will provide a full time liaison man in Mobile I to monitor his field units. The other involved agencies will provide liaison personnel as the need develops. By stationing an officer in Mobile I with these other agencies, constant intelligence information will be provided to the Command Post through the ring down line.

Gleason Junior High School Verdugo Hills High School ~- .. ' i 1 2 4 6 7 •· - PREFACE •· - School disturbances are a real and ever present problem in present day society. Foothill Area has faced this prqblem numerous times in the past, particularly at San Fernando High School. Other schools have experienced disturbances of one degree or another. Therefore, in the event of an unusual occurrence, these guidelines have been prepared as an aid in handling the situation. 1 , SAN FERNANDO HIGH SCHOOL LOCATION 11133 O'Melveny Nearest main intersection - Laurel Canyon and Fox Street PRINCIPAL SECURITY HISTORY· Phone: 365-1121 Phone: 365-1121 San Fernando High School has been the scene of the worst school disturbances in the San Fernando Valley area. At one time these occurrences were quite frequent to the extent where daily violent eruptions were part of the schedule. The time of daily school riots may be about. over. However, there is always the ever present potential for violence, which results in injury and property damage. FIELD COMMAND POST In the event of an unusual occurrence and a Field Command post is to be set up, an ideal location and one that has been utilized in the past is Paxton park, located on the northwest corner of Laurel Canyon and Paxton Street. Paxton Park is located approximately 1/2 mile south of San Fernando High School. It has an adequate parking area available and has access to a public phone. In addition this location is easily reached by responding units by way of the Golden State Freeway. DIRECTIONS TO COMMAND POST Responding units can proceed northbound on Laurel Canyon to Paxton or northbound on Golden State Freeway to Paxton off ramp then east to Laurel Canyon. Arriving units will then be directed by the command post staging officers. TRAFFIC CONTROL Vehicular traffic should be diverted as soon as possible around the school. Traffic can be diverted as follows, if needed. 1. Eastbound on Fox Street from Laurel Canyon 2. Eastbound on Chamberlain from Laurel Canyon 3. Westbound on Fox Street from Oneida 4. Westbound on Chamberlain from On~ida 5. Additionally traffic should be stopped from proceeding south from Wolfskill on Rincon, Amboy, O'Melveny and Woodworth; and westbound from Oneida on LaRue and Davenport. (Laurel Canyon is a ~ major artery and should not be blocked unless it is _ necessary.) 2 . The San Fernando Police Department should be notified in tht!' event of an unusual occurrence at San Fernando High School. Their jurisdiction starts just north of Fox Street and any major disturbance may spill over into their area. INTELLIGENCE The school security officers should be contacted in order to obtain information as to the magnitude of the disturbance, etc. PERIMETER PATROL The Field Commander should assign units to patrol the perimeter as needed. CROWD CONTROL Crowd gatherings in the past have been mainly at the southwest corner of Fox Street on O'Melveny in front of the administration building, causing partial blocking of the street. Another point of congregating is the area in front and around the gymnasium on Chamberlain. In the event of the need to disperse, the crowds should be dispersed west on Chamberlain toward Laurel Canyon where the crowd can break up. Squad leaders should be discouraged from dispersing crowds south on O'Melveny toward Fox and east, west or north from this location. HELICOPTER The helicopter has been used during past disturbances and proved a very valuable tool and aid in controlling those incidents. 3 SYLMAR HIGH SCHOOL LOCATION 13050 Borden Street Intersection of Borden Avenue and Astoria Street PRINCIPAL SECURITY FIELD COMMAND POST Phone: 367-1971 Phone: 367-1971 ... - In the event of an unusual occurrence at Sylmar High School, a command post can be set up on the southeast corner of Rexford anq Glenoaks. This is a vacant gas station with ample parking area and public phones (367-9815 and 367-9944). Another possibility is across the street on the northeast corner, where there is another vacant gas station, but this location has no land line facilities. Other locations may have to be used in the event that in the future these locations become unavailable. These locations are easily accessible by freeway and are located about one mile north of Sylmar High School. DIRECTIONS TO COMMAND POST Responding units can proceed northbound on Golden State Freeway to Rexford off ramp then east to Glenoaks. SPECIAL PROBLEMS The Field Commander should be aware of the fact that Olive Vista Junior High School is only about 1 1/2 blocks north of Sylmar High and precautions should be used to prevent students from this school from becoming involved in a disturbance at Sylmar High. In addition, Sylmar Park is one block north of the High School (southwest corner of Polk and Borden) and often becomes the battle grounds for Sylmar High and Olive Vista students, although not necessarily between them. TRAFFIC CONTROL Traffic control can be very important to prevent other antagonists from reaching this problem area. Traffic can be directed away from the school by placing officers at Astoria and Borden, Astoria and Dronfield, Dronfield and Raven, Raven and Borden, Fellows and Berg, and Fellows and Dyer. PERIMETER PATROL The Field ·commander should assign units to patrol the perimeter as needed. SCHOOL SECURITY The Field ·Commander should establish some line of communication with the school security personnel, 367-1971. 4 . I CROWD CONTROL •· - Crowds should be dispersed preferably in southerly directions rather than northerly in order to prevent them from regrouping at Sylmar Park or at Olive Vista Junior High. HELICOPTER The Department Helicopter can be _an invaluable tool and should be requested to assist as soon as possible. 5 PACOIMA JR. HIGH SCHOOL LOCATION 9919 Laurel Canyon Boulevard ... - Nearest main intersection is Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Osborne Street PRINCIPAL SECURITY FIELD COMMAND POST Phone: 899-5291 Phone: 899-5291 In the event of an unusual occurrence at Pacoima Jr. High and a field Command P~st is to be set up, the Field Commander can use the south parking lot of Target/Pie N Sav stores at Laurel Canyon and Montague Street. A second location is Foothill Area, 12760 Osborne Street. TRAFFIC CONTROL In the event traffic becomes a problem it can be diverted at Laurel Canyon and Terra Bella east or west and at Laurel Canyon and Osborne east or west, additionally officers can be utilized on side streets as needed. CROWD CONTROL In addition to crowds gathering in the front portion of the school by the administration building, groups also tend to form at the southeast corner of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Kagel Canyon Street. Large boisterous groups also find their way to Laurel ·canyon and Osborne inside and outside of the corner market. Therefore, in dispersing the crowds squad leaders should direct them away from such locations and break them up into smaller groups so as not to just relocate the problem. The Golden State Freeway forms a natural barrier on the west side of the school except for pedestrian tunnels at west end of Kagel Canyon Street, which should be kept in mind in the event it is used as an escape route by suspects.

The most eminent possible problem that exist~ within the large apartment areas that we have in Foothill Area is that of a major 415. This is a very realistic problem that we have faced on a few occasions. Although this problem is more of a pending danger in the Pierce Park and Van Nuys Park Apartments, we must also consider as a potential problem in these other locations; San Fernando Gardens and Sheldon Street Apartments. Therefore, in the event of an unusual occurrence (any type of major proportions) these guidelines should be used as an aid in handling the situation. Number One - Pierce Park Apartments Number Two - Van Nuys Park Apartments Number Three - San Fernando Gardens Apartments Number Four - Sheldon Street Apartments Page 3 Page 6 Page 9 Page 11 PIERCE PARK APARTMENTS LOCATION: 12601 Pierce Street •· - (Northeast corner of Glenoaks Boulevard and Pierce Street) PROBLEMS: 1. Northeast corner of complex adjoins the rear of Van Nuys Park Apartments, making it easy for others to join the conflict. 2. Physical lay out of buildings create a bu1lt-in obstacle course for moving squads in or out. 3. Two story buildings with easy access to roofs by occupants afford excellent sniper opportunities. 4. Information that some apartments have radios capable of receiving police frequencies, possibly even tactical frequencies. 5. Narrow walled alley on north side leading to rear apartments and parking area would create a trapping situation for vehicles. 6. Maclay Junior High School located on Pierce just across from the apartments would add greatly to any day watch problems. 7. Surrounded by heavily populated area adding to the problem of crowd control. 8. Only one way in and out of the parking lots. 9. A six foot sliding chain link gate is located between Buildings 11 and 44, the eastern entrance to the East Quad area. Six foot chain link gates are also located between Buildings 14 and 54, and 54 and 41, at the western entrance to the ·same Quad area. FIELD COMMAND POSTS Primary Field Command Post In the event of an unusual occurrence and a field command post is to be set up, an ideal location would be at the Lake View Terrace Shopping Center, located on Foothill Boulevard between Terra .Bella and Pierce. Telephones - numerous pay phones located in the shopping center. Directions to Command Post Assigned units will be directed by the command post staging officer. Response From Command Post Squads or units responding to the problems from the field command post should proceed westbound on Pierce from Foothill and park vehicles in the parking lot of Maclay ·Junior Hi~h, on the south side of Pierce across from the apartments. 3 Alternate Command Post ... - Use the Hansen Dam Recreation Center (park) at Osborne Street and Dronfield Avenue. TRAFFIC CONTROL Vehicular traffic should be diverted at the following locations: 1. Southbound Glenoaks at Van Nuys. 2. Northbound Glenoaks at Pierce. 3. Eastbound Pierce at Glenoaks. 4. Westbound Pierce at Borden. PERIMETER PATROL The field commander should assigned units to patrol the perimeter as the need arises. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Squad leaders should be warned not to attempt to take their squads into the complex through the small parking lots off of Pierce Street (see map P-1, P-2, P-3). These lots lead into a very narrow walkway between the angled buildings and thus creating a dangerous trapping situation. Squad leaders should, if dispersing the crowd from east to west, leave a minimum of six officers in the eastern parking lot to secure pedestrian access between Buildings 5 and 7, Buildings 9 and 10, and Buildings 47 and 49. This will assure that no crowd will form behind squads and will also prevent crowds from Van Nuys Park Apartments from joining in the conflict. The interior layout of this complex resembles a large figure eight with buildings built on angles around this figure. It is therefore advisable to split forces into two squads and move around both sides of the figure. It is important here that both squads move at the same rate so that they will prevent the crowd from cutting across in the middle of the complex, between the eastern quad area and the western quad area. Since there is no high ground nor any tall buildings in the vicinity to afford observation of all rooftops, it is imperative that prior to squads being sent in on foot a helicopter be dispatched to light up the area and secure all rooftops. Even after the area is secured of possible sniper attacks from the rooftops, the heiicopter would be invaluable in directing ground troops through the maze of buildings. The field commander could also put himself in the helicopter and eontrol all of his ground forces from that location, leaving an assistant field commander at the Field Command Post. ~ All communications should be carried on one of the two tactical frequencies preferably ROVER 5. Any information that is broadcast should be kept to a minimum since there is some indication that even these frequencies can be monitored at this location. Absolutely no vehicles should proceed in the ,alley on the far northernmost side ·of the complex. This alley leads eastbound from the corner of Building 34 and dead-ends at Building 48. This is a very narrow alley with no escape routes 4 ~ - and it would be extremely easy to trap a police vehicle at this location. Any foot personnel should also be very cautious while in this area as the four foot block wall on the north side of the alley could be used for sniper activity. Should a problem occur at this location during the school hours, one squad of men will have to be deployed along Pierce Street adjacent to Maclay Junior High to keep those students from joining in. School authorities should be contacted to lock all gates and assist officers in controlling their students. Squad leaders should be aware that the two large parking lots on the eastern and western ends of the complex have only one driveway each serving as both entrance and exit. Should police vehicles be taken into these parking lots, it is highly advisable to leave a vehicle with officers at the entrance to prevent it from becoming blocked. CROWD DISPERSAL Squad leaders should attempt to disperse crowds from east to west through the complex and out onto Glenoaks Boulevard, where the crowd can easily break up and leave the area. If prior to dispersing the crowds the chain link gates located between Buildings 11 and 14, Building 14 and 54, and Buildings 54 and 41, are open it would be advisable to close these gates and secure them with plastic handcuffs. This would prevent the crowd from getting into the eastern ~ quad area. Fixed post officers could be deployed between Buildings 15 and 55, Buildings 55 and 40, and Buildings 18 and 37 to prevent the crowd from filtering into the western quad area, which houses the recreation room. 5 VAN NUYS PARK APARTMENTS LOCATION: 12700 Van Nuys Boulevard .. .. (Van Nuys Boulevard between Glenoaks Boulevard and Borden Avenue) PROBLEMS: 1. Southwest corner of complex adjoins the rear of Pierce Park Apartments, making it easy for others to join the conflict. 2. Bordered on the west by a large vacant lot. 3. Two story buildings with easy access to roofs by occupants afford excellent sniper opportunities (permanent ladders lead to the roofs on all of the buildings). 4. A large store across Van Nuys Boulevard affords an excellent sniper location that would be a threat to all poli~e officers in front of the apartment. 5. Carl Street west from Borden dead ends into a parking lot and should not, under any circ~mstances, be used by police vehicles. 6. Surrounded by heavily populated area adding to the problem of crowd control. 7. Only one way in and out of the parking lots. FIELD COMMAND POSTS Primary Field Command Post In the event of an unusual occurrence and a field command post is to be set up, an ideal location would be at the Lake View Terrace Shopping Center, located on Foothill Boulevard between Terra Bella and Pierce. Telephones - numerous pay phones located in the shopping center. _Directions to Command Post Assigned units will be directed by the command post staging officer. Response From Command Post Squads or units r~sponding to the problems from the field command post should proceed westbouno on Pierce from Foothill, then northbound on Borden and park vehicles in the area of Borden and Carl Street (the apartment parking lot at the northwest corner of this intersection could be utilized). Alternate Command Post Use the Hansen Dam Recreation Center (park), located at Osborne Street and Dronfield Avenue. 6 "-------~------- ------------------- It • - TRAFFIC CONTROL Vehicular traffic should be diverted at the following locations: 1. Eastbound Van Nuys at Glenoaks. 2. Westbound Van Nuys at Borden. 3. Southbound Borden at Van Nuys. 4. Northbound Borden at Pierce. PERIMETER PATROL The field commander should assign units to patrol the perimeter as the need arises .. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Prior to entering the complex to disperse crowds, a minimum of six officers should be positioned at the southwest corner of the complex near the dead end of Carl Street and the parking lot to prevent crowds from Pierce Park · Apartments from joining in the conflict. Since there is no high ground nor any tall buildings in the vicinity to afford observation of all rooftops, it is imperative that prior to squads being sent in on foot a helicopter be dispatched to light up the area a_ nd secure all rooftops. Even after the area is secured of possible sniper attack from the rooftops, the helicopter would be invaluable in directing ground troops through the maze of buildings. The field commander could also put himself in the helicopter and control all of his ground forces from that location, leaving an assistant field commander at the Field Command Post. All communications should be carried on one of the two tactical frequencies, preferably ROVER 5. Any information that is broadcast should be kept to a minimum since there is some indication that even these frequencies can be monitored at this location. While the helicopter is in the air checking the rooftops in the apartment complex, it will also be necessary to make frequent checks of the roof of the large manufacturing warehouse facility north of the apartment complex, across Van Nuys Boulevard. Prior to any units being sent weit on Carl Street, a fixed post position should be established at Carl Street and Borden to assure that suspects do not come in behind the officers or set up a blockage trapping police vehicles in the dead end street. Squad leaders should be aware that all four parking lots in this complex have only one driveway each, serving as both -~ntrance and exit. Should police vehicles be taken into these parking lots, it is highly advisable to leave a vehicle with officers at the entrance to prevent it from becoming blocked. 7 CROWD DISPERSAL Squad leaders should attempt to disperse crowds _ northbound through the complex and out onto Van Nuys Boulevard where the crowds can easily break up and leave the area. Prior to crowd dispersal certain fixed posts should be established to prevent elements of the crowd from drifting eastbound through the complex, back to Borden Avenue, where they could circle behind the officers. These fixed posts should be between Buildings 12 and 15, Buildings 15 and 17, and Buildings 17 and 20. Also squad leaders may find it desirable to establish other fixed posts between various ·buildings throughout the complex ·depending upon the size and attitude of the crowds. 8 SAN FERNANDO GARDENS APARTMENTS LOCATION: 10995 Lehigh Avenue ... - (Van Nuys Boulevard to Pierce Street and Pala Avenue to Norris Avenue) PROBLEMS: 1. Narrow winding streets through the projects create a problem due to the large numb~r of vehicles parked within the ~omplex. 2. Five foot high block wall in front of many apartment entrances affording excellent cover for snipers. 3. Buildings layed out in angles causing a very complex situation in moving squads from one point to another. 4. Very heavily populated area with numerous small children frequently playing between the buildings, in the parking lots and on the roadways. 5. All buildings within the central area are two story with possible access to the roofs affording excellent sniper locations. 6. All apartments' exterior doors are made of metal and are in metal casings making forced entries very difficult. Also all units have a ground floor rear door. 7. No ideal location or direction to disperse crowds. FIELD COMMAND POSTS Primary Field Command Post In the event of an unusual occurrence and a field command post is to be set up, an ideal location would be at the south end of Whiteman Airport near the restaurant. From this location units can respond through the airport and will not be hindered by traffic. Telephones - public telephone available outside the restaurant. Directions to Primary Field Command Post Assigned units will be directed by the command post staging officer. Response From Command Post Squads or units responding to the problem from the field command post should proceed northbound through the airport facility, cross Pierce Street and enter the projects northbound on Lehigh, then proceed to the location of the problem. Alternate Command Post Use the Hansen Dam ijecreation Center (park), located at Osborne Street and Dronfield Avenue. 9 TRAFFIC CONTROL •· - Vehicular traffic should be diverted at the following locations: 1. Eastbound Van Nuys at Pala. 2. Westbound Van Nuys at Norris. 3. Eastbound Pierce at Pala. 4. Westbound Pierce at Norris. 5. Northbound Norris at Pierce. 6. Southbound Norris at Van Nuys. 7. Northbound Pala at Pierce. 8. Southbound Pala at Van Nuys. 9. Southbound Lehigh at Van Nuys. 10. Eastbound Carl at Pala. PERIMETER PATROL The field commander should assign units to patrol the perimeter as the need arises. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Since there is no high ground nor any tall buildings in the vicinity to afford observation of all rooftops, it is imperative that prior to squads being sent in on foot a helicopter be dispatched to light up the area and secure all rooftops. Even after the area is secured of possible sniper attack from the rooftops, the helicopter would be invaluable in directing ground troops through the maze of buildings. The field commander could also put himself in the helicopter and control all of his ground forces from that location, leaving an assistant field commander at the Field Command Post. Squad leaders should be made aware that Lehigh Avenue, Carl Street and Carl Place (the only vehicular roadways in the projects) are narrow and winding. These streets are also used for parking thusly creating more of a hazard when transporting squads to the problem area. Squads should be made aware that many of the apartments have small block walls approximately five feet -high in the manner of partitions set .out from their front doors. These partitions will create a definite hazard if chasing suspects and could be used as very effective cover for any sniper activity. Due to the very complex layout of the buildings in this project squads will have great difficulty in moving effectively and in unison with each other. It is therefore- important in this situation to have the field commander direct operations from the air.
