Subject: Homework, Chapter 14

1. Hazardous Location: Presents a threat to the safety of responding personnel. It may also require a response by two or more units or by specialized equipment. The threat may be from individuals, groups, or physical conditions (e.g., explosive storage area, a radiation hazard, firearm storage area, etc).

Sensitive Location: May be subject to demonstrations or may result in diplomatic or political confrontation (e.g., a foreign mission, consulate, residences of political or foreign officials, or certain religious establishments). These locations have a response plan previously developed at the precinct level and consistent with the needs of the Department and occupants of the location in question.

2. This test revealed that the case protected the radio to such a degree that no damage was inflicted. Damage to a portable radio costs money, and means another officer will be deprived of its use while it is being repaired. When damage to a radio occurs and negligence on the part of the officer can be shown, disciplinary proceedings will be initiated against the officer. It is in the best interest of the individual officer to safeguard the radio against damage. It is required, therefore, that the radio be carried in its leather case. In addition, many portable radios have been lost or stolen. Replacing a lost or stolen portable radio is expensive.

3. I/CAD is used by operations personnel to capture event and unit information.

4. When entering a location such as a building or a business establishment write down the building number or the business name.
