GENERAL ORDER 1100 -004 <br />6. During major disaster incidents requiring a citywide response, all City resources and personnel <br />will be coordinated and controlled by the City Manager. The control of individual City <br />Departments will be the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer of their respective <br />Departments. The various City departments will perform emergency functions related to those <br />they perform in normal operations, as well as any additional duties that may be assigned by the <br />City Manager. <br />D. ALERT PROCEDURES <br />1. Disaster incidents may place situational demands on the Police Department that exceeds the <br />routine response capabilities of on -duty field operations personnel. In such instances, the <br />Incident Commander may order that additional agency personnel be alerted to respond. The <br />following alert classifications will be used by the Department.. <br />Level 1 Alert: is the primary stage of mobilization during emergency incidents of a less <br />serious nature. This level of alert may require the redeployment or reassignment of all on- <br />duty police personnel. On -duty elements of the Support Services Bureau will assist field <br />operations units as directed by the Incident Commander; <br />Level 2 Alert involves a serious incident of such magnitude that the number of available <br />on -duty personnel is inadequate to establish control and must be augmented by additional <br />personnel. A Level 2 Alert requires the partial mobilization of off -duty personnel. Additional <br />field operations personnel, special operations units, and elements of the Support Services <br />Bureau may be mobilized as directed by the Incident Commander. The Field Operations <br />Bureau Commander must be notified immediately of all Level 2 Alerts; <br />Level 3 Alert involves a major incident that threatens the safety of the City to such an <br />extent that the entire Department must be mobilized for the effective control of the situation. <br />Such alert requires the total mobilization and commitment of the Departments resources. <br />All holiday, vacation, compensatory and training leaves will be automatically canceled for <br />the duration of the Alert. The Chief of Police must be notified immediately of all Level 3 <br />Alerts. - <br />E. RESPONSE TO LEVEL 3 ALERTS <br />NOTE. Incidents warranting response to a Level 1 Alert or Level 2 Alert may also require <br />implementation of all or part of the mobilization and response procedures described below <br />1. Upon receiving notification of a Level 3 Alert, mobilization of all police personnel will <br />commence, beginning at the highest point in the chain of command, whenever possible. <br />Component supervisors will be responsible for mobilizing their subordinate personnel. - <br />Supervisors may direct members to relay such notification to other members within the same <br />component in order to speed the mobilization process. <br />2. Any member mobilization instructions in response to an emergency alert, relayed or <br />otherwise, will consider such instructions to be a direct order from the Chief of Police. <br />3. All personnel will be notified of the mobilization, the time and place to report, the uniform of the <br />day otherthan regular duty uniform), and special equipment requirements. All personnel will <br />remain on active duty until relieved by higher authority. <br />Page 6 of 17 <br />F -15 <br />Attachment number 3 <br />Page 442 <br />
