Index to the Standard Operating Procedures
Considering that this document purports to regulate the conduct of city employees who carry weapons and use force to arrest people, it is almost laughably inadequate. It comprises a rather haphazard collection of memos and documents cribbed from other agencies. Extremely unbalanced, it devotes dozens of pages to such trivialities as appropriate footwear, safe ladder usage, and bicycle riding while offering only a scant few paragraphs on arrest procedures and use of force. The title page is hand-written in magic marker.
We have prepared an unofficial index that may be of use to people seeking specific info in the document. The document itself is poorly organized, lacking paragraph numbers or even any consistent page numbering scheme, so the page numbers here refer only to the electronic page numbers in the electronic document. They have no significance internal to the document itself.
