SEPTEMBER 2025 NEWSLETTER

Call Hopping

• Officers are reminded that all calls must be properly tended to and cleared out appropriately, including any reports being written, suspects being tended to, medical being provided, etc. Officers should not be clearing calls to go to another call that comes out unless cleared by the OIC.

Professional Conduct

• Officers are representatives of the department as a whole, which means that violations of community rules and regulations while active as Municipal Police reflect on the department.

• While on scenes in the server, officers are reminded to act professionally and represent themselves and the department in a positive light. Officers should be following policy and regulations, even if it may seem like nobody is around.

• Officers can and should review the community Rules & Regulations frequently.

Report Review Channel

• As a reminder, we do have our official Report Review channel located in the Municipal Police Discord. This channel is designated for officers to submit report numbers that require supervisor review, including:

  • Arrest Reports

  • Incident Reports

  • Crash Reports

  • Use of Force Reports

  • Vehicle Tow/Inventory Reports

  • Citations

  • Any other reports requiring supervisor review.

• Remember, there should only be one report number per message to ensure proper organization of report review.

Radio Conduct & Etiquette

• Officers are reminded that when in the RTO channels, they are required to follow all policies and regulations of such channels and to utilize them properly.

• Officers are encouraged to review the official community RTO Guidelines.

  • Violations of these guidelines may result in disciplinary action. Any ignorance of the policies is not an excuse for violation.

• Officers are reminded of our authorized 10-codes; please ensure that you do not utilize prohibited 10-codes over the radio.
