Failure to comply with the Chain of Command may result in disciplinary action.
Each squad will have a Corporal and a Sergeant within their squad who will act as the first layer of support within the chain of command. If the officer feels that he has not been properly helped then they may then move to the next position in the chain of command until they feel they are properly assisted.
Promotions and Commendations
Promotions will be given to officers who the command feels set themselves apart from other officers in terms of professionalism, maturity, job knowledge, and the strive to want to better the department as a whole.
Every rank in the LSPD will come with its own set of important responsibilities that each officer will be expected to conduct.
Do not ask for promotions. Asking for promotions may lead to a demotion or disciplinary actions.
Some actions are not on the chart, and your supervisor will find a punishment they deem fit for the infraction. This punishment may be overturned by Department Command or by Internal Affairs.
Demotions and Disciplinary Action

PROCESS FOR APPEAL
In the event that an officer wishes to appeal, there are steps that will be taken in order to allow a fair trial to ensue. The appeal process can be entered only ONCE per disciplinary action received. The steps are as follows:
The disciplined officer and the issuing supervisor will meet in the office of the Chief of Police and the head of the Officers division.
FIRST, the supervisor will make his accusations known. The supervisor will describe the actions that led to his decision to issue the disciplinary action.
THEN, the disciplined officer will share his side of what happened. Remember, it is the disciplined officer’s duty to provide SOLID proof. Witnesses are NOT considered solid proof.
After both parties have finished, the Chief, the Deputy Chief, the captain. and the department head will discuss the appropriate verdict and will decide the outcome of the situation.
REMEMBER, once the appeal process is initiated, NO party is allowed to discuss the appeal, the situation surrounding it, or the verdict with anyone unless they are a Sergeant or higher in the LSPD and do not have direct ties to the situation at hand.
