MISSION AND V ALVES OF THE NEW YORK CITY AUXILIARY POLICE PROGRAM

DATE ISSUED: DATE EFFECTIVE: REVISION NUMBER: PAGE:

07/01 /2010 100

Membership in the Auxiliary Police Program affords citizens the opportunity to study police work, learn police objectives and goals, and thereafter assist the Department in its efforts to police the City of New York.

One mission of the Auxiliary Police Program is to develop mutual respect and understanding between the police and the community they serve, promote an atmosphere conducive to greater public cooperation and as a consequence, lead to greater police effectiveness.

In addition to fulfilling obligations under the law the Auxiliary Police Program aids in the Department's community relations program. The objective of the program is to emphasize the mutual interdependence of the Police Department and the community at large in the maintenance of law and order and the prevention of cnme.

Another mission of the Auxiliary Police Program is to train volunteers in police work, so that they will be able to mobilize in the event of an emergency (unusual occurrence, flood, hurricane, search for missing person, blackout, etc.), and thereby act as an effective adjunct to the Police Department.

The NYPD Auxiliary Police Program is the nation's largest and finest volunteer crime prevention program. Thousands of dedicated men and women contribute countless hours of service each year to their community. Auxiliary Police Officers function as extra "EYES AND EARS" for the Police Department. Their primary function is described as PATROL, OBSERVE and REPORT. The New York State Defense Emergency Act of 1951 required cities to recruit, equip and train volunteers to be Auxiliary Police Officers who act as an adjunct to Police Departments in the event of a Civil Defense emergency or natural disaster. Executive Order # 51 of 1967 charged N.Y.C. Police Department with full responsibility for the City's Auxiliary Police Program and Executive Order # 38 of 1975 extended this responsibility. Auxiliary Police Officers are not peace officers or police officers, and do not possess any powers above or beyond those of the private citizen. In the event of a Civil Defense emergency however, legislation exists which enables the Police Commissioner to confer peace officer status upon auxiliary police officers. In order to carry out the functions and responsibilities assigned to the Police Department by the Mayor, the Police Commissioner has the overall responsibility to direct and oversee the Auxiliary Police Program.

AUXILIARY POLICE SHIELDS


07/0112010 1 of 1

In order to readily identify qualified auxiliary police personnel in good standing and on active status, the Department issues, through the Auxiliary Police Section, a distinctive seven pointed metal shield. The shields for Auxiliary Police Officers and Sergeants bear an identification number. Those for Lieutenant and above are unnumbered.

The metal shield is worn as part of the regulation uniform while on duty. It does not signify any special peace officer or police officer powers; nor does it imply any special immunities or privileges. Auxiliary Police members who use, or attempt to use the shield for any reasons other than for which it was intended, may face disciplinary charges and possible removal from the Auxiliary Police Program. Unlawful use of the shield may result in the arrest of the Auxiliary Police member.

To issue an auxiliary police shield:

1.

2.

3.

Direct Auxiliary Police member to report to the Auxiliary Police Section to receive an auxiliary police shield. Enter shield number on Auxiliary Police members Auxiliary Police Volunteer Enrollment (APS #1). Inform Auxiliary Police member that upon leaving the Auxiliary Police Program that the shield must be returned to the unit's Auxiliary Police Coordinator.

It is imperative that Command Auxiliary Police Coordinators inform all new Auxiliary Police Officers that the shield is Department property and must be returned to the Department upon separation from the Auxiliary Police Program.

The IDENTIFICATION CARD must be worn at all times on the member 's outermost garment while inside Police Headquarters.

The practice of safeguarding the newly appointed auxiliary member's shield and IDENTIFICATION CARD is not permissible. However, certain exceptions are as follows: (1) the Command Auxiliary Police Coordinator has cause to believe, based on verifiable information, that the Auxiliary Police member upon issuance of the auxiliary police shield, will likely not return to the program and decline to return the shield, (2) the Command Auxiliary Police Coordinator may hold the shield of an auxiliary member of disciplinary probation and (3) when an auxiliary member fails to perform the minimum required quarterly hours the shield may be reissued on a "tour to tour" basis. In this case, the Auxiliary Police member who performs the minimum required hours in the next quarter will have hislher shield and IDENTIFICATION CARD returned
