Policy, Procedure and Rules and Regulations

Policy, Procedure and Rules and Regulations
A Study of Administrative Guides in Law Enforcement

by George L. Ruotolo

This article was written to help administrators draft and implement effective administrative guides.

Beginning with a definition of administrative guides, the author continues by discussing the 6 types of guides that are used in departments of any size. He states the differences between each and advises you when a specific type should be used.

Throughout the article, Mr. Ruotolo provides examples from his many years of assisting department commanders and administrators in the development of agency guides and of instructing them in the techniques of policy development.

Major topics include:

  • The Department Mission
  • Innovative and Continuing Goals
  • Program Objectives
  • Police Policy
  • Procedures
  • Rules and Regulations

The article emphasizes the consequences of not providing guidance and direction to one’s employees and/or department members in foreseeable situations and explains how well-written policies and procedures can withstand scrutiny in the courtroom.

Mr. Ruotolo is retired from 21 years of service in New York State law enforcement and police training. From 1980 to 1985, he oversaw all police instructor certification for the State of New York. He is now a private consultant to law enforcement, the legal profession and insurance. His experience in courtroom testimony spans 12 years and he has provided expert testimony for the prosecution in criminal cases.
