Hello Deputies, Deputy First Classes, and everyone else,
I'm writing this forum because of many errors i've seen happen in Stapleton recently. I want the best of the best being in SCSO, and if deputies cannot provide us that, we're going to look bad, and non-trust-able, and when we look like that, it's hard to serve the community.
Starting off, i'm going to cover calls and why you NEED to dismiss them. If a person calls 911, they cannot call back. Meaning, if you take a call, and don't dismiss it, or there are many old calls, that person probably has a new emergency but can't call in because some lazy deputies decided it wasn't needed to dismiss the calls. Well good job, you didn't dismiss his call, now he probably reported the shots fired you just heard but oh wait he can't call because YOU decided not to dismiss his call.
Secondly, codes. There is this big issue with the "C2HI", which is Code 2, high. This simply means you're responding faster than C2 but less than C3, you have lights on but blip sirens only at traffic and intersections. This is a usable code and is to be used in the proper circumstances. If a person is calling in a S-2, and you're close, you can respond normally code 2, but if you're far away, and the only unit he can depend on, you would respond C2HI. If there is a protest where officers need assistance but no one is dead, respond C2HI. You should get the point now. C2HI = priority #2.
Now, on our third subject, I would like to cover responding in general. When a unit needs assistance, you need to determine if you're close enough, if 10 seconds pass and no one responds, you respond. That thinking is only good for S-2's, but if someone calls in a S-3, shots fired, etc. you respond ASAP. Now there's one point I haven't covered in here, and that is how many units respond. You should know that many times there are too many officers. It's your job to make sure there is not too many or too little units on scene, and if that means leaving, or cancelling your response, then do it. EVERYONE should remember what POST taught us. The "+1" rule. If there are x suspects, there must be x+1 Officers.
Fourth on our little agenda here, felony stops. Remember, on the job is different than training, it's not about perfecting crap. It's about getting it done. If 1:2 Needs to command, 1:2 commands. But, if there are extra units on scene, you should be ready for a pu#suit. NO ONE should be in-front of the car. If you're in-front of a car you're wishing for death.
Now, I hope this forum helping you with all your wrong. It was the goal of this forum, after all. Please spread the word to others.
Signed,
Corporal Anderson,
