About This Document: In this modern era, new realities facing the law enforcement profession include the terrorism dimension, the concepts of intelligence-led policing and multijurisdictional partnerships, and the incorporation of the private sector into homeland security.1 Of course, the reality of day-to-day policing remains: all of the normal demands still exist, causing law enforcement agencies to do more with their limited resources. Overall, departments should- * update all memoranda of understanding and mutual aid agreements to ensure accuracy of contact points, logistical obligations, and legal interpretations; * review departmental emergency response plan for currency and train personnel on its content; * examine community emergency response plan, especially the annex on law enforcement, to ensure obligations can be met; * inspect all checklists of other agency contacts for currency and completeness; * train dispatchers on what initial actions are expected of them in a major emergency incident; * evaluate provisions for the protection of officers from contamination and other health hazards; * communicate to emergency medical and hospital staffs the police responsibilities in a major catastrophe so they understand their expectations for police services; * work with the county or city emergency management personnel in orienting other public service employees (e.g., public works, school officials, bus drivers, and safety inspectors) about the challenges they may face in a major event and what they should expect concerning police services; * contact the joint terrorism task force and the FBI WMD coordinator to determine the services they will provide in contaminated crime scene investigation, intelligence sharing, and investigative services; and * review legal authorities in the areas of exigent search, property protection in ordered evacuation, enforcement of quarantine orders, and compelling evacuation; document these authorities; and familiarize personnel regarding them.
