<br /> <br />Policy & Procedure Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br />Lexington Police <br />Department <br />Subject: Staff Inspections <br /> <br /> <br />Policy Number: <br /> 53B Accreditation Standards: <br />Reference: None Effective Date: <br />1/1/11 <br /> New <br /> Revised Revision <br />Dates: <br />1/24/19 <br /> <br />By Order of: Mark J. Corr, Chief of Police <br /> <br />GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND GUIDELINES <br /> <br />Each day the Lexington Police Department provides a wide variety of police services to <br />the community. Over time, deviations from procedural guidelines can occur and if not <br />checked become accepted operating procedures. When this occurs, resources are lost <br />to ineffective or inefficient work efforts and changes in policing philosophy can occur. <br />Greater losses can occur if the deviant procedure involves improper, inappropriate or <br />illegal conduct. <br /> <br />Formal inspections are valuable tools used by the Chief of Police to insure that <br />personnel are adhering to approved and established policy and procedures. A regular <br />schedule of line and staff inspections allows the Police Department to engage in self- <br />evaluation in meeting goals and objectives. <br /> <br />Staff inspection is the process of detailed observation and analysis of Department <br />components, procedures and practices. Personnel who do not have direct line <br />authority or control of the persons, facilities or elements being inspected may conduct <br />staff inspections. Example: a Range Officer may check a superior officer’s service <br />weapon for cleanliness and readiness because the Chief of Police has delegated <br />authority to the Range Officer to conduct this inspection. At the conclusion of each <br />staff inspection, a report of findings is submitted to the Chief of Police. This report <br />provides the Chief of Police with the information, which is needed to make changes. <br /> <br />Staff inspections of each Department component will be conducted bi-annually or as <br />directed by the Chief of Police. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
