Model Law Enforcement Policies & Procedures

Law Enforcement | Jail Operations | Policy Development

OSS can either provide agency specific Policy Development Services or OSS can provide your agency with our Model Police / Law Enforcement Policies & Procedures on CD.

OSS’ SOPs and job description workbooks are provided on CD with all files created in Microsoft Word®. Merge codes are imbedded within each document to allow for easy insertion of such critical information as the Sheriffs or Chiefs name, subordinate leaders and their titles, agency, department or facility name, etc.

OSS also provides an 800 toll free number to guide you through the process, and answer questions. There is no additional charge for this technical support.

Each policy set contains items such as:

Specific policies written to address The Deadly Dozen® law enforcement liability issues
100+ Model Law Enforcement Policies & Procedures
A “Read Me File” with easy to follow CD instructions
Samples of the following elements for internal agency use:

Letter from the Sheriff or Chief of Police (for distribution of the new policy)

And more …

Each individual policy contains items such as:

Policies & procedures written at a 10th grade reading level [to increase an average reasonable juror or officer comprehension]
Type set in Arial Font, 12 pt., so the agency can easily modify

OSS’ law enforcement policy experts have designed SOP manuals that are also widely used by jail & correction, campus & school police and security departments and risk managers throughout the country.
