DATABASES "Preparing for School Attacks" For those in the emergency response community who thought school attacks were a thing of the past, the recent active shooter incidents signaled a loud wake-up call. Our school children are at risk from both angry students and determined terrorists. After the Columbine high school attack of 1999, many police agencies adopted and trained some form of "Rapid Deployment" tactic for responding to an active shooter. But, with lack of use and the memory fade induced by time, many departments have allowed their "edge" to become dull. We must program school protection permanently onto our emergency response hard drives. This document explains how to make a plan, choose and train your people well, and stay vigilant, and is located in the Core Database under document #589802. "Patrol Digital Video Recorder (DVR) System" This policy is from the Alcoa, Tennessee, Police Department General Orders Manual. The department’s audio and video equipment serves as an impartial witness to events as they actually occur. Procedures outlined in this policy will insure the integrity of the system and its acceptance by the courts. The audio and video will be utilized by officers when they drive vehicles so equipped. Use of the audio and video system is mandatory when on duty. This policy is located in the Policies Database under document #589598.
