,. <br /> E. RESERVE OFFICERS. As of this date, the Reserve <br /> Officer Program is hereby suspended. Do not allow any reserve <br /> officer to accompany you on patrol. City officials or citizens <br /> will be allowed to accompany you on patrol with specific permission <br /> from the Chief only. <br /> E. WRITTEN EVALUATIONS. All officers and staff will <br /> receive a written evaluation of their job performance on a semi- <br /> annual basis. All such evaluations will become a part of that <br /> person's p•rsoanwi tile. <br /> G. 077-DOT! EMPLOYMENT. No officer shall be employed <br /> in security or police related work in addition to their position <br /> with the City. <br /> II. DEGREE OF PHYSICAL FORCE ALLOWED IN MAXING ARREST: <br /> In making an arrest you are allowed to use such force <br /> as may be necessary to protect yourself or others. Of course, <br /> more force may be exercised or allowed in arresting a felon. It <br /> is not proper to injure a party in making a misdemeanor arrest or <br /> traffic stop unless you are defending yourself or others. The <br /> basic rule is to use only the minimal amount of force as is <br /> necessary to make the arrest. Excessive force subjects you and <br /> the City to possible liability. <br /> If you are attempting to make a traffic stop and the <br /> suspect attempts to flee at high speeds, the officer involved <br /> should immediately radio for assistance. An officer shall not <br /> continue such a high speed chase for a traffic violation into <br /> another City. <br /> III . RESPONSE OUTSIDE OF CITY WHILE ON DUTY: <br /> An officer shall respond to an accident or situation <br /> outside of the City and in the County at the request of the dis- <br /> patcher. Upon the arrival of the department or officer having <br /> jurisdiction (sheriff, state patrol) , you should ir;r•.zediately <br /> return to the City. <br /> A. Specific state statutes control mutual aid <br /> for police officers. A request by the dispatcher <br /> to respond to Lafayette is not valid unless the re- <br /> quest comes directly from the Chief in Lafuycttc. <br /> Likewise, you must not request I,afayettr or Sheriff <br /> assistance without having sped ; tc pc'rmiszlon from <br /> the Chief. <br /> -2- <br />
