This chapter shall be the guide used by the Police Department and the
Borough Council in handling of all matters pertaining to police business in
the Borough of Harveys Lake. Every member of the Police Department shall be
subject to and shall comply with all the provisions set forth hereinafter.
No members, regardless of rank, may assume that all duties are fully
set forth in any one order, rule or regulation, but shall be bound to know
that the member's duties may be defined in greater or less degree in any and
all of the rules and regulations herein and in all general and specific orders
issued heretofore or that may be issued hereafter by the Borough Council or
by any superior to any subordinate over whom any member has command.
All rules and regulations, general and specific orders, issued heretofore
are hereby revoked insofar as they conflict with rules and regulations herein.
In using this chapter, it should be borne in mind that overattention
to technicalities represents a failure to grasp the spirit of this chapter
and will lead to requests for interpretations that may usually be avoided
by application of broad principles.
The various parts of this chapter may be revised or amended, as conditions
warrant, by majority vote of the Borough Council.
