[Ord. 2010, 4/24/2000; as amended by Ord. 2092, 6/16/2003]
1.
The Board of Commissioners of the Township of Ross Township does
hereby adopt the "Ross Township Police Department Manual of Polices,
Rules and Regulations" prepared and submitted by Chief of Police Gregory
G. Tenos as the official Ross Township Police Department Manual of
Polices, Rules and Regulations.
3.
The Manual is designed to provide the officers of the Ross Township
Police Department with policies and procedures to guide them through
the operations and responsibilities of their position.
4.
All Ross Township police officers are directed to refer to the Manual
on a regular basis.
5.
From time to time the policies and procedures contained in the Manual
may be amended, changed or modified to meet the changing needs of
Ross Township and the Ross Township Police Department; provided, however,
that all changes will be in the form of amended policy or written
memorandum or directive reviewed and approved by the Ross Township
Board of Commissioners.
6.
The Manual is not intended to create any contractual or other legal
rights in any party, but is designed solely as a guide and does not
alter any police officer's employment status.
7.
The policies and procedures are for internal use only and no part
of the Manual shall be provided to any persons or entities outside
of the Township of Ross.
8.
The polices and procedures contained in the Manual are not intended
to enlarge any Ross Township police officers, civil or criminal liability
in any manner whatsoever. Nor should they be construed as creating
any higher standard of safety or care in an evidentiary sense with
respect to third party claims.
9.
Any violation of the policies and procedures can formulate the basis
of a disciplinary action against any Ross Township police officer.
10.
All previously published and enacted polices, rules, regulations
and procedures are hereby declared null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
