These policies are meant to be a comprehensive tool to help quide the Department and employees towards providing quality police service to our community. This policy manual is a living product of changing laws, practices, and procedures that is fundamental to providing guidance and direction for the employees of the San Bernardino Police Department. Manual updates will be provided at least every six months to include any changes in Federal, State, and/ or local standards or laws including law enforcement best practices. It is not intended that the information contained in this manual shall cover every case our employees may confront because there will be times where employees will need to rely upon good judgment and discretion while providing service to the community. This manual represents the collective efforts of many in our organization, our professional partners and community members. The organization owes a great debit of gratitude to the staff, labor representatives, community professionals and volunteers who spent a full year reviewing old policies, converting them to Lexipol and customizing new ones for implementation. The final product is a comprehensive approach to providing modern day quality policing services to our residents, businesses, and visitors. It is inherently important that every employee be familiar with the material contained in this manual. Employees identifying needed corrections or amendments should notify their immediate supervisor who will, in turn, notify police administrators in writing of any recommended changes.
