GENERAL ORDER
TITLE: STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
GENERAL ORDER: 10.1B
EFFECTIVE: January 1, 2008
RESCINDS: G.O. 10.1A
PAGES: 11
CONTENTS:
This order consists of the following numbered sections:
I. DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES
II. RULES AND REGULATIONS
III. GLOSSARY
PURPOSE:
To provide guidelines for member conduct and discipline.
SCOPE:
This order applies to all members.
DISCUSSION:
Tequesta Police Department personnel are members of a team working together with a primary
objective of serving the community. Individuals who fail to follow the necessary rules and regulations, policies, and
procedures governing conduct not only penalize themselves, but also do a disservice to all other members of the agency
and to the community.
Supervisors are encouraged to pursue a philosophy of "progressive discipline." Certain offenses, however, are of such a
serious nature that dismissal upon first offense is the only appropriate measure. Nothing contained herein will limit the
right, power, and authority of the Chief to take whatever disciplinary action is deemed appropriate.
In recognition of the fact that each instance of misconduct is different, the Chief retains the right to treat each occurrence
individually without creating a precedent for other cases that may arise in the future.
PROCEDURE:
I. DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES:
A. Violation of Rules:
Department personnel will not commit any acts or omissions that constitute a violation of
any of the rules, regulations, directives, or orders of the agency.
B. Disciplinary Variance:
The severity of the misconduct, any costs involved, the time between violations, the
length and quality of service records, and the ability to modify or correct the behavior of the employee concerned will
be considered when determining discipline.
C. Time Considerations:
1.
Violations that result in corrective action or informal discipline will be considered as repeat offenses when such
G.O. 10.1B
repetition occurs within one year.
2.
Violations resulting in formal discipline will be considered repeat offenses when such repetition occurs within
three years.
