Quitman adopts written police equipment and procedures policy, includes take-home vehicle provision
Summary
The board approved a written equipment and procedures policy for the police department presented by Chief Chris Reed; the policy includes optional take-home vehicle language subject to future board and chief approval, with no mileage cap specified.
The Board adopted a written police equipment and procedures policy April 7 after review by the city attorney and the municipality’s liability insurer.
Chief Chris Reed and Assistant Chief Laws told the board the policy provides structure and guidance to officers and includes a provision to allow take-home vehicles in the future if the board and chief approve; the document includes no fixed mileage restriction, though the chief said approvals would be case-by-case. The policy was approved by motion and voice vote.
