[list]3/110.00 AUTORITÉ HIÉRARCHIQUE

• Chaque personnel dispose de l'autorité hiérarchique sur ses subordonnés ; la subordination dépend, ainsi, de la position des grades dans la structure hiérarchique. Des tempéraments à ce principe, cependant, existent. L'autorité hiérarchique désigne simplement la capacité d'émettre des ordres.
  
  • Le donneur d'ordre exerce cette autorité dans le seul but de permettre au Département et à ses subalternes d'accomplir la mission leur étant confiée en assurant leur formation, leur organisation et leur coordination.
    
  • L'autorité est investie du pouvoir hiérarchique au seul bénéfice de la Loi, du LSPD et donc de la Société. Tout agent exerçant une autorité le fait avec discernement, justesse, impartialité et probité.
    
  • L'autorité hiérarchique doit veiller à ce que ses ordres soient légitimes, intelligibles et réalisables, à cet effet l'autorité assure la formation de ses subalternes.
    
  • L'autorité hiérarchique supérieure peut donner ordres et consignes, modifier, réformer ou supprimer les décisions prises par ses subalternes, prendre en ses lieux et places toutes les décisions qu'ils peuvent prendre, préciser et adapter des mesures d'ordre plus général. De ce fait, l'officier commandant de bureau ou le responsable d'une division peut restreindre certaines prérogatives des agents afin d'adapter le règlement au mode de fonctionnement de son bureau, de sa division.
    
  • L'autorité hiérarchique est investie de pouvoirs en contrepartie desquels il doit au Département et à ses subalternes franchise, dignité, discernement, investissement, probité. Elle assume la responsabilité des ordres donnés, y-compris et surtout lorsque ceux-ci sont suivis d'un échec.

3/120.00 ORDRE


• L'agent hiérarchiquement supérieur (soit du fait de son grade, soit du fait de sa fonction) peut délivrer les ordres rendus nécessaires et légitimes du fait de la mission à accomplir. Il les rend en respectant le règlement et dans l'intérêt de la Loi.
  
  • Les destinataires de l'ordre doivent y donner pleine exécution avec discernement, diligence et probité, dans le respect des Lois et des normes applicables. Ils font appliquer les ordres reçus avec discernement et intelligence, exécutant les consignes en y apportant les adaptations nécessaires et légitimes afin de correspondre au mieux à leur esprit et leur visée.
    
  • Sauf lorsque les circonstances le rendent inopportun, l'autorité explique les motivations de ses ordres et recherche l'adhésion et la confiance de ses subalternes. Les subalternes, réciproquement, accordent écoute, respect et confiance à leurs chefs, mettant en exécution leurs consignes sans les remettre en cause publiquement et sans demander de justification inutile ou inopportunes au regard des circonstances.
    
  • Lorsque cela est conforme aux ordres et aux normes applicables, l'autorité chargée de l'exécution ou de la mise à exécution d'un ordre le décline et l'adapte au mieux, sans en bafouer l'esprit et fait preuve de discernement en vue de donner pleine exécution à l'idée poursuivie par cet ordre. Le donneur d'ordre veille donc à limiter les lacunes ou imprécisions dans ses ordres et apporte les réponses utiles.

3/130.00 ORDRE ILLÉGAL


• Nul n'obéit à un ordre qu'il sait illicite. L'agent qui invoque cette disposition signale son refus d'obéir à l'autorité donneuse d'ordre en se justifiant. Cette autorité peut alors clarifier son ordre. L'agent qui malgré les justifications apportées ou l'injonction d'obéir persiste dans sa désobéissance au titre de cette disposition doit, dans les plus brefs délais, écrire au bureau du chef et aux affaires internes pour signaler les faits.
  
  • L'autorité qui délivre un ordre illégal est responsable des conséquences qui en découlent. Celle qui crée le climat d'impunité, d'absence de contrôle et de formation, propice à l'abus, en est pareillement responsable.

3/140.00 AUTORITÉ HIÉRARCHIQUE SPÉCIFIQUE


• Il existe au sein du département certains régimes d'autorité hiérarchique spécifique dérogeant aux normes standards.
  
  • Le personnel des affaires internes, dans la conduite de ses missions, se voit délégué l'autorité du bureau du chef. Il dispose donc d'une autorité hiérarchique opposable à tout membre du personnel de terrain, des inspecteurs de police, des officiers de supervision ainsi que des officiers de commandement.
    
  • Sans considération du grade, chaque membre d'une division répond à la hiérarchie interne de la division dont il est membre dans le cadre de l'exercice des prérogatives rattachées à ladite division.
    
  • Sans considération du grade, un inspecteur de police dispose d'une autorité hiérarchique opposable à l'ensemble des membres du personnel de terrain et des officiers de supervision présents à l'occasion d'une opération de police qu'il conduit dans le cadre d'un dossier d'investigation.

3/150.00 EXCEPTION D'INEXISTENCE DE L’AUTORITÉ HIÉRARCHIQUE


• A l'exception des formateurs avec leurs probatoires, les membres du personnel de terrain ne disposent pas d'une autorité hiérarchique opposable les uns envers les autres.

3/160.00 CHAINE HIÉRARCHIQUE


• Les agents rendent compte à l'autorité concernée. Sauf à ce que le discernement le rende nécessaire, les agents s'adressent à leur autorité hiérarchique qui fait remonter l'information au niveau supérieur si cela s'avère pertinent.
  
  • L'agent ne s'adresse donc pas immédiatement à une autorité d'un trop haut niveau hiérarchique, l'information doit remonter naturellement le cheminement de la chaîne hiérarchique.

3/170.00 SALUT ET FORMALITÉS


• Aux supérieurs et sauf autorisations particulières, les agents s'adressent avec courtoisie et en les vouvoyant.
  
  • Aux agents du grade de capitaine au moins et sauf autorisations particulières, les subalternes s'adressent avec déférence.
    
  • Le garde à vous est le salut militaire est de mise lors d'une convocation par un officier de direction, lors des cérémonies, des réunions, des inspections, des enterrements et autre événements officiels.

[list]3/180.00 INSPECTIONS EN QUALITÉ

Les officiers commandants de bureau sont garants du respect des procédures de manière générale et des lois en vigueur par les membres de son entité et s'assurent que ses effectifs sont en adéquation avec ce principe et de la qualité du travail fourni par ces derniers. Il réalise alors des inspections, que ça soit de son bureau de façon générale, ou d'une division en particulier.

• Seul un officier commandant de bureau peut réaliser une inspection en qualité, sauf en cas de délégation.
  
• Une inspection peut se faire sous différents formats : par un audit des divisions, par une inspection physique des locaux, du matériel ou de ses employés en intervention.
  
• Le bureau du chef, ou par délégation le groupe des affaires internes, peut réaliser une inspection d'un bureau ou de l'une de ses entités d'initiative.
  
• En cas d'inspection de personnels, les employés sont alignés du grade le plus élevé ou moins élevé, leur équipement (incluant leur uniforme) est analysé par l'officier commandant de bureau, qui rend compte à l'officier commandant de division des dysfonctionnements à ce niveau.
  
• L'officier commandant de l'entité inspectée tient compte des remontées qui lui sont faites et veille impérativement à ce que les dysfonctionnements soient réglés. Dans le cas contraire, sa responsabilité est engagée.
  

3/190.00 DEVOIR D'AMÉLIORATION CONTINUE


La titularisation ne signe pas la fin de la montée en compétence de l'employé. Ce dernier doit veiller à consolider ses acquis voir à corriger ses imperfections pour garantir la qualité du service courant dans ses interventions quotidiennes.

• Les officiers commandant de bureaux et de divisions peuvent mener des entraînements à l'échelle de leurs structures, selon les modalités qu'ils désirent.

ceremony. The procedure is as follows. A sergeant of the watch commands, in sequence:
• At Close Interval, FALL IN. Officers of the watch shall arrange themselves in the formation indicated
by the sergeant. Supernumerary sergeants, unless dismissed by the watch commander, shall fall in behind
the last rank (of the first platoon) dressed on the right flank, or may fall in at another convenient place in
proximity to the group, depending upon space limitations. Officers dressed in plain clothes shall fall in as
a group so located that they will be inspected last. They may fall in behind the last rank (of the first
platoon) dressed on the left flank, or may take positions in the last rank;
• At Close Interval, Dress Right, DRESS. The watch sergeant shall move informally to the right flank of
the rank to check the alignment of the rank. He or she shall give the necessary instructions to adjust the
alignment. After completing the alignment, the watch sergeant shall command, Ready, FRONT;
• Open Ranks, MARCH. This command need not be given unless there are at least two ranks to be
inspected and the space in which the platoon is formed is adequate to permit the rank to be opened. The
normal distance between ranks at inspection will be two paces. The rear rank shall stand fast. Each rank
in front of it shall take a sufficient number of paces forward to permit the two-pace distance to be taken.
In a three-rank platoon, the rear rank shall stand fast, the center rank shall take one pace forward, and the
front rank shall take two paces forward. Each officer shall execute "At Close Interval, Dress Right,
DRESS" without command after securing the proper distance between ranks;
• The watch sergeant shall move informally along the right flank of the platoon to check the alignment of
the ranks. He or she shall give the necessary instructions to adjust the alignment. The watch sergeant
shall then move to a position to the right of the right flank officer of the front rank of the platoon and
command, Ready, FRONT; and,
• The sergeant shall then report to the watch commander, Sir, the watch is ready for inspection. The
watch commander may request any other supervisor present to assist him/her in the inspection, or the
watch commander may assist a senior officer in conducting the inspection.
The inspecting officer shall:
• Inspect the sergeant forming the watch; and,
• Instruct a supervisor to assist in the inspection.
If the inspecting officer informs the sergeant that he or she wishes to inspect a specific item of officers
equipment, the sergeant shall then issue the necessary commands to prepare the equipment for inspection.
If there is more than one rank to be inspected, the sergeant may prepare each rank individually for inspection as
the inspection progresses. The ranks not being inspected may be given, Parade, REST.
The supervisor accompanying the inspecting officer during the inspection shall make notes of deficiencies
indicated by the inspecting officer.
• Inspect the officers of the watch;
• Make such comments to the watch as he or she may deem appropriate; and,
• Instruct the sergeant to dismiss the watch.
If Open Ranks has not been given, the watch need not be given, Close Ranks, MARCH, although equipment
shall be returned and the watch called to attention before dismissal. The sergeant shall then command, FALL
OUT.
226.92 FORMAL INSPECTION. The following procedure shall be used in conducting a formal inspection of
a group of officers:
• The officer in charge of the formation shall instruct the platoon sergeants of the time, place, formation,
and equipment requirements of the inspection;
Example: A weapons' inspection shall be held in the parking lot at 0830 hours. The watch shall be formed into
two platoons of two ranks each. The platoons shall face east with the first officer opposite the garage entrance.
Sergeant Bruce shall command the first platoon; Sergeant Nelson, the second.
• The officer in charge of the formation shall take a position six paces in front of the point where the center
of the formation is to be, face that point, and command, FALL IN FOR INSPECTION;
• Each platoon sergeant shall take a position in front of, and facing, the location where his/her platoon is to
form. Each platoon sergeant shall then command, FALL IN, or At Close Interval, FALL IN;
• The officers of the formation shall arrange themselves in the formation indicated by the platoon sergeant.
Sizing shall be accomplished without command. Ranks to the rear of the first rank shall form with forty
inches between ranks, covered from front to rear. Individual officers may execute a momentary
"DRESS" without command to secure the proper interval. Supernumerary sergeants, unless dismissed by
the officer in charge of the formation, shall fall in behind the last rank (of the first platoon) dressed on
the right flank, or shall fall in at another position, if so directed by the officer in charge of the formation;
• Officers dressed in plain clothes shall fall in as a group so that they will be inspected last. They may fall
in behind the last rank (of the first platoon) dressed on the left flank, or may take positions in the last
rank;
• If the officer in charge of the formation indicates that more than one platoon should be utilized, one
sergeant shall give the command, FALL IN, although each of several platoon sergeants shall assume a
position in front of the place where his/her platoon is to form. Subsequent commands shall be issued by
the individual sergeant with each platoon;
• When a platoon formation has been completed, its sergeant shall execute, "About Face." As soon as the
sergeant of the first platoon is aware that each sergeant in charge of a platoon has executed "About
Face," the sergeant shall turn his/her head toward the officer in charge of the formation, and salute, and
report, Sir, the first platoon is present. Other platoon sergeants, in succession from right to left, shall
salute and report in like fashion;
• The officer in charge of the formation shall return the salute of each platoon sergeant. After the last
report has been made, he/she shall command, Prepare for inspection or, if he/she wishes to inspect a
particular item of equipment, Prepare for inspection of (item);
• Each platoon sergeant shall salute and, by means of a series of movements and facings, move to a
position on the right flank of his/her platoon, one pace to the right and in prolongation of the position at
which the front rank shall halt after opening ranks. The sergeant shall face in the direction necessary to
align the ranks and command, Open Ranks, MARCH. Open ranks shall be executed (Manual Section
3/226.88). However, the platoon sergeant shall use a more formal method of aligning the ranks than
during an informal inspection. He/she shall maintain a military bearing, and shall not weave from side to
side to correct the alignment, but shall take short side steps. After aligning the first rank, he/she shall face
to the left in marching, halt on the prolongation of each succeeding rank, face right, and align the rank.
After verifying the alignment of the last rank, the sergeant shall face to the right in marching and move
forward to a position one pace to the right of the first officer in the first rank, and three paces in front of
the first rank;
• Each platoon sergeant shall execute "About Face" and command, Ready, FRONT. Sergeants of platoons
other than the first shall command, Parade, REST, if simultaneous inspections of the platoons are not to
be made. They shall then execute "About Face" and assume a position of "Parade, Rest" until such time
as it is necessary to prepare their platoon for inspection;
• If an inspection of equipment is to be made, the sergeant of the first platoon shall command, Second,
(Third), (Fourth) Ranks Only, Parade, REST. He/she shall then prepare the first rank for inspection,
causing such equipment to be exhibited as is necessary. He/she shall prepare succeeding ranks for
inspection as the inspection progresses;
Example: Second Rank Only, ATTENTION. Second Ranks Only, Inspection, ARMS. First Rank Only,
Return, ARMS. First Rank Only, Parade, REST. Second Rank Only, Return, ARMS. Platoon, ATTENTION.
• The platoon sergeant shall salute the inspecting officer when his/her platoon has been inspected. After
the departure of the inspecting officer from the platoon area, the platoon sergeant shall command, Close
Ranks, MARCH, and Parade, REST;
• Each platoon sergeant shall issue necessary commands as the inspection progresses. If a simultaneous
inspection is made of the formation by several inspecting officers, each platoon sergeant shall issue
his/her commands accordingly;
• At the conclusion of the inspection of the last man, the officer in charge of the formation shall resume the
position from which he/she commanded the platoon sergeants to prepare for inspection. Each platoon
sergeant shall call his/her platoon to attention. The inspecting officer may make such comments as are
applicable, and take his/her leave of the officer in charge of the formation; and,
• The officer in charge of the formation shall make such comments as are applicable to the members of the
formation and then command, FALL OUT (or other command).

based on the applicable criteria.
• Employees whose duties regularly subject them to emergency call-outs and/or are on stand-by status

733.20 APPROVAL TO CARRY CONCEALED FIREARM. Department Manual Sections 2/092.61 and

16360, 16690, 25450-25475, 26300-26325, and 25900, delineate the issuance of a Carry Concealed Weapon
(CCW) endorsed retired police identification card for honorably retired full-time paid police officers and
honorably separated Level I reserve police officers.
Honorably Retired Full-Time Officers. California PC Section 25455 mandates that the Department shall issue
an identification certificate to all full-time paid peace officers that have been honorably retired from the
Department. It also mandates that the Department place an endorsement on the identification certificate, stating
that the agency approves the officer's carrying of a concealed weapon.
As used in the California Penal Code Sections 16690 and 25900, the term "honorably retired" includes all peace
officers who have qualified for, and have accepted, a service or disability retirement.
To be considered "honorably retired," an officer must have a minimum of 20 years of service to retire, with no
age requirement for Tiers 2 and 4. For Tier 3, an officer must have 10 years of service and be 50 years old. For
Tier 5 and 6, an officer must have 20 years of service and be 50 years old. Any officer who does not meet any
of the Tier retirement qualifications is considered "resigned" and is not entitled to any retired police
identification card according to applicable state laws. However, in Tier 3, 5 and Tier 6 if an officer leaves after
having met the service requirement of their retirement tier but is not at age 50 and decides to defer his/her
retirement, the officer can petition the Department when he/she reach age 50 and apply for a CCW endorsed
retired police identification card.
The term "honorably retired" does not include an officer who has agreed to a service retirement in lieu of
termination. In addition, no peace officer that retired because of a psychological disability shall be issued an
endorsement to carry a concealed and loaded firearm.
Honorably Separated Reserve Officers. To be considered “honorably separated,” a reserve police officer
must have completed a minimum of 20 years of service as a Level I reserve police officer. Service as a line
reserve officer prior to January 1, 1997 will count towards the 20-year accrual period. Any reserve police
officer who does not meet the honorably separated qualifications is considered merely “separated” and is not
entitled to any retired reserve police officer identification certificate. If an identification certificate is issued, the
Department must place an endorsement on the identification certificate for honorably separated Level I reserve
police officers who were authorized to, and did, carry a firearm during the course and scope of their appointment
as a peace officer. The endorsement must state that the agency approves of the officer’s carrying of a concealed
weapo
