E. Division Commanders are encouraged to seek input on policy and
procedure development from subordinates:
1. At a minimum, Division Commanders should afford supervisors under their command an opportunity to review orders and provide input. Depending on the nature of the order, selected personnel in various operational components, e.g., communications, crime prevention, operations, etc., should be permitted review and input.
2. All such input should be collected by the individual Division
Commanders. The Division Commander will then sign and forward the review sheet with the attached order and indicated changes to the Office of the Chief of Police.

the Chief of Police:
1. Any Division Commander requesting additional review will then receive the revised final draft for review.
2. After this second review, the draft will be returned to the Office of the
Chief of Police.
G. Completed reviewed and approved orders will then be issued at the direction of the Chief of Police through the Administrative Division.
