Policy & Procedure Page 1 of 6 <br />Lexington Police <br />Department <br />Subject: <br />Harassment & Sexual Harassment <br />Policy Number: <br />26AAccreditation Standards: <br />Reference: 26.1.3 <br />Effective Date: <br />3/11/13 <br />New <br />Revised <br />Revision <br />Dates: <br />1/24/19 <br />By Order of: Mark J.
