<br /> <br />Policy & Procedure Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br />Lexington Police <br />Department <br />Subject: Ancillary Motorist Services <br /> <br /> <br />Policy Number: <br /> 61D Accreditation Standards: <br />Reference: 61.4.1; 61.4.2 Effective Date: <br />11/1/1 <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 /> This policy establishes guidelines for the delivery of many diverse traffic-related <br />ancillary services provided by the Lexington Police Department. These services are <br />basically activities having an indirect effect on traffic flow as well as those that are in <br />response to citizen generated requests for assistance. <br /> <br /> The public often relies upon the police for roadway assistance in routine and <br />emergency situations, which occur on a daily basis. For this reason, the police regularly <br />respond to incidents where it is not contemplated that an arrest or other enforcement <br />action will be required. In addition to requested services, officers should employ diligent <br />patrolling practices which will allow the officer to locate, in a timely manner, motorists in <br />need of assistance. <br /> <br /> PROCEDURES <br /> <br />A. Ancillary Services [61.4.1(a)] <br /> 1. The Lexington Police Department will provide reasonable general <br />assistance to all highway users who appear in need of aid. This will apply <br />at all hours of the day, but particularly during the nighttime hours and <br />during hazardous weather conditions. The aid may include: <br /> a. Providing information and directions; <br />b. Assisting stranded or disabled motorists by providing a <br />communications link with needed services; <br />c. Assisting motorists in obtaining timely mechanical assistance <br />such as vehicle repairs, tire changing assistance or related <br />services; and/or <br />d. With the approval of the Commanding Officer or Patrol <br />Supervisor, officers may transport fuel, which is needed by a <br />stranded motorist. <br />
