SPOA REPORT

For use by:

Security Officers and Security Police Officers

PREFACE

This report is for the officers of the Protective Force Division. Too many times have I heard of misinformation being passed around about what is required by our employer and by those of us who take everyone else’s word for it. These are the basic requirements in a nut shell. I believe this report outlines the Protective Force Manual and Training guidelines that will help alleviate some of these “rumors” that get passed around so frequently. There are those among us who complain about different areas of the work environment, but actually have no knowledge of the reasons why the environment is the way it is; or where this information can be found. With reports like this we hope to educate as well as build an understanding that is standard throughout the department.

I feel it is necessary for everyone to be given as much information about their job as possible. The SPOA is able to breakdown the manuals and compile the most relevant information so that it is on hand and in a format that everyone understands.

Also you will see, these are issues the union aggressively addresses in regards to what should be occurring and what is actually occurring. I hope this is helpful to everyone, and be on the look out for other reports that outline various manuals that are also pertinent to us as officers. Remember knowledge is power!

Finally, this is the base of knowledge that is utilized to frame bargaining positions when the time comes.

FRESH PURSUIT REFERENCES ( ATTACHMENT 2 DOE M 473.2-2)

These guidelines have been approved by the U.S. Attorney General for contractor Protective Forces when pursuing suspected criminal across jurisdictional lines.

· To prevent the escape and effect the arrest of fleeing suspects

· To provide flexibility in pursuing suspected criminals

· Each site must prepare guidelines that take into account all resources

· Procedures to provide emergency notification to jurisdictions

Protective Force personnel shall abide by these definitions and act appropriately according to fresh pursuit standards:

FELONY

· Any offense in Title 10 CFR section 1047.4 (a)

· Any offense constituting a felony under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the facility is located in conjunction with 10 CFR 1047

MISDEMEANOR

· Any offense in Title 10 CFR section 1047.4 (a)

· Any offense constituting a misdemeanor under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the facility is located in conjunction with 10 CFR 1047(d)

FRESH PURSUIT

· Conduct with or without warrant for the purpose of preventing escape or effecting the arrest of any person who commits a misdemeanor, felony or is suspected of having committed a misdemeanor or felony.

· Constitutes immediate pursuit as well as pursuit without unreasonable delay

· The criminal act must have taken place in the physical presence of the Protective Force officer

· Jurisdictional lines must include the facility property lines, but are not limited to the property lines of the facility

· Protective Force officer with pursuit ability is any officer as defined by 10 CFR 1047, with the authority to carry firearms under section 161K of the Atomic Energy Act

STANDARDS

At the moment of arrest, either the facts and circumstances within the knowledge of the Protective Force officer, or of which the Protective Force officer had reasonably trustworthy information, were sufficient to cause a prudent person to believe that the suspect had committed or was committing the offense.

Information from another law enforcement officer or dispatcher is considered reasonable grounds to believe that a suspect has committed or was committing an offense.

Suspects who are to believed to have committed a misdemeanor cannot be pursued, unless the act was committed in the presence of the Protective Force officer. Protective Force officers who did not witness the misdemeanor must not pursue across jurisdictional lines. Instead they must obtain descriptions and relevant information and notify law enforcement entities in the jurisdiction which the suspect fled.

PROCEDURES

· Responsibility for decisions must follow the Protective Force command structure

· Officer must consider Federal and State laws, DOE directives, policy, regulations and training.

· A Protective Officer weighs the seriousness of the alleged offense and the necessity for immediate apprehension

· If at any time the risk of injury to the officer or the public surpasses the necessity for immediate apprehension, the pursuit may be terminated

· If hostages are present their safety must be taken into consideration, however due to the unauthorized use of SNM on national security, their presence must not deter pursuit and recovery of the SNM.

VEHICLES

· Operate vehicles in a safe manner as practical

· Vehicles should be marked and equipped with visual and audible emergency equipment

· Unless the situation mandates an immediate pursuit, non-Protective Force personnel should not be used in fresh pursuit

· The facility should not be left without security

· Under no circumstances will a roadblock be used without concurrence of the supervisor of the pursuing Protective Force

· Officers generally must not attempt to ram or use tire deflating devices unless exigent circumstances mandate immediate disabling of the suspect vehicle

· Guidelines of ramming and use of tire deflation devices must be developed and approved by the manager and Field Element

· Ramming should not be used for suspect misdemeanants

COMMUNICATIONS

· Officers must make every attempt to maintain open communications

· Upon engagement of a fresh pursuit, the dispatcher must immediately notify supervisors in the PF command structure

· Crossing of jurisdictional lines must be communicated immediately to the law enforcement authorities of the jurisdiction to be entered

· Notification should include descriptions, location and reason for pursuit

· If the pursuing PF vehicles are told to terminate the pursuit, at least one PF vehicle must continue in the pursuit operations and assist other Federal or State law enforcement personnel until the pursuit is terminated

ARRESTS

When other Federal law enforcement agencies are on the scene (FBI, US Marshals) the Protective Force must relinquish arresting authority to the other Federal law enforcement.

When State or local law enforcement authorities are involved in off-site apprehension of a suspect, the following applies:

· The determination of which agency should effect an arrest is left to the discretion of the officers

· Common sense and circumstances dictate officer in charge of scene

· Assessment of circumstances include:

§ Expertise of those present

§ Which agency had established control first

§ Disruptive effect of transferring control

§ Guidelines and policies

ARRESTS CONT

When a suspected felon or misdemeanant is arrested, whether on or off DOE property, you must notify the appropriate U.S. Attorney’s office and escort the suspect to the nearest U.S. District Court/ Magistrate for arraignment. Under no circumstances must a suspected felon be removed to another jurisdiction, without first being processed through the Federal criminal system.

Government property retrieved during pursuit must be properly secured and a chain of custody established.
