• • Additional manpower can be expected on patrol with the expectation of attempting to provide normal police response in the city to calls for service and handling of the event. Level 2: An incident with extended periods of operations falling into this category can be expected that the Police Department will implement extended shifts, reassignments of section personnel, and extended operational periods of up to 5 days or more. The Police Department may have limited ability to respond to calls for service within the city due to manpower limitations or safety of Police Department personnel. The limited resources of the Police Department may require the Department to prioritize and respond to calls as able. Customer service type calls such as lockouts and other service type calls may not be responded to. Calls for service reporting crimes not in progress may be handled by telephone by available personnel. Level 3: An incident or operational period of this magnitude is expected to tax the resources of the Police Department to its fullest. The Police Department can expect to be in this type of operational level for extended periods of 5 days or longer. During this time all resources may need to be devoted to patrol operations and handling of the event for the city. Investigations not involving crimes against person will be delayed until the operation period is over. Response to life emergency or in progress calls will be handled as resources are available, while other non - emergency calls may be handled if resources become available. Special Circumstances: The Police Department may implement special responses or measures at any level as deemed necessary by supervisory staff. Examples of some measures, but not limited to: • No response to non -life threatening medical calls during a wide spread health event. This action may be taken to preserve the health of Police Department personnel needed for law enforcement action. Limiting or no personal contact with citizens reporting non emergency calls or requests for service. • Officers of the Police Department having been crossed trained in several aspects of the Department operations can perform those needed duties if required. These duties include completing the complaint process of arrested suspects and administrative paper work; a duty normally performed by police dispatch. • Police administrative duties could be completed from the personal residence of an employee with internet access allowing processing of police and court records via secured access. Non emergency phones of the Police Department may be forwarded to WC Dispatch. Page 13
