Reference Manuals

Reference Manuals (RM) are the Police Department’s procedural directives that provide guidance on how to perform specific tasks or functions.  Our Reference Manuals are the culmination of laws, legal decisions, best practices and community input. They serve as a guide for our employees and are one of the many ways we ensure we maintain a professional workforce and act in a way that is consistent with training and national standards.
