Teacher's fatal DUI case dismissed after LMPD officer's indictment

Ouch!!!!

People just need to read the policy and do their job, instead of waiting on the Chief to tell them what to do. Political robots are great until you need a genuinely qualified law enforcement officer instead of a lackey.

12.6.4 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER (KACP 19.2b)

A commanding officer shall respond to the scene of a civil disturbance (KACP 17.4). After being briefed by the officer on the scene, he/she shall assume the role of IC and shall assess the seriousness of the immediate situation and the potential for escalation. If the disturbance is minor and adequate resources are available,

he/she may attempt to disperse the crowd. Specialized officers may be requested to the scene to assist in dispersing the crowd with less/non-lethal weapons or chemical agents, if necessary. Specialized officers include members of the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) and chemical agent-trained officers from the Special Response Team (SRT) (KACP 19.2j). SOP 9.1 shall be adhered to for all use of force incidents. If the disturbance is major, the commanding officer shall direct MetroSafe to contact the division commander and request that he/she be

dispatched to the scene with the appropriate riot gear (KACP 19.2h).

The commanding officer shall serve as the IC, until relieved by a higher authority. The higher authority shall then assume the role of IC and its accompanying responsibilities (KACP 19.2d). MetroSafe shall be notified of all changes in command, including the name of the commanding officer serving as the IC.
