Language is generally unclear. This is written for those who may already know the process and may be unclear to a general audience. Should include recent changes involving Human Resource Division (HRD) of Civil Service granting to communities most of the authority under the “Consent Decree” of 2009.  Why is this policy needed when much of this is governed by State regulation? This helps to capture Lexington’s procedures with areas highlighted for accreditation compliance. 41Q Protective Vests/Body Armor  Page 2, item B. This section does not address all of the body armor LPD uses. We use ballistic coats and similar language needs to address this equipment also.  Page 2, C-1. Language about recruits unclear.  This policy should address replacement program. 41S Stop Stick  Need cites on photos; where did this material come from. 1575 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA 02420
