<br /> <br />Policy & Procedure Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br />Lexington Police <br />Department <br />Subject: <br /> Use of Cell Phones <br /> <br />Policy Number: <br /> 81B Accreditation Standards: <br />Reference: 81.2.10 <br />Effective Date: <br />1/1/16 <br /> New <br /> Revised <br /> <br />Revision <br />Dates: <br />1/24/19 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />By Order of: Mark J. Corr, Chief of Police <br /> <br /> The Municipal Police Institute, Inc. (MPI) is a private, nonprofit charitable affiliate of the <br />Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association. MPI provides training and model policies and <br />procedures for police agencies. This policy is an edited version of MPI Policy 4.08. <br /> <br />GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND GUIDELINES <br /> <br />The purpose of this policy is to provide law enforcement employees with guidelines <br />for the proper use of cell phones while on duty. We must set the proper example for <br />citizens. Using a cell phone while operating a department vehicle is distracting and <br />may result in a collision. While Massachusetts does not prohibit the use of cell <br />phones while operating a motor vehicle, there are penalties for improper operation <br />resulting from use of a cell phone and failure to pay attention. <br /> <br />All Department members issued Department Cell Phones must also familiarize <br />themselves with the Town of Lexington Administrative Directive #1, Mobile <br />Communications. <br /> <br />It is the policy of the Lexington Police Department to: <br /> <br />1. Use cell phones in the course of police operations to enhance departmental <br />communication; and <br /> <br />2. Limit cell phone use by employees to conducting official business when the <br />use of radio communication or hard line telephones is inappropriate, <br />unavailable, or inadequate to meet communication needs, and when the cell <br />phone is used in accordance with this policy. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
