100.1.1 OPERATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY
The Policy Manual sections pertaining to the Special Response Unit are divided into Administrative and Operational Policy and Procedures. Since situations that necessitate the need for such a police response vary greatly from incident to incident and such events often demand on-thescene evaluation, the Operational Policy outlined in this manual section serves as a guideline to Department personnel, allowing for appropriate on scene decision making as required. The Administrative Procedures, however, are more restrictive and few exceptions should be made.

As a matter of department policy, such a unit may also be used to serve high-risk warrants, both search and arrest, where public and officer safety issues warrant the use of such a unit.
