Policy
The MPD Police Equipment Specialist will assign a permanent "shop day" for squads. Commanders are responsible for ensuring compliance with regular "shop day" assignments and ensuring that vehicles assigned to their command receive regular maintenance.
All vehicle problems shall be reported in the yellow equipment repair log. A description of the problem must be complete and detailed. The yellow book shall be left open on the dash of the vehicle. When leaving a vehicle for repair at the Royalston Maintenance Facility, it should be parked in the “pool area” inside the garage when the facility is open. Vehicles should be parked next to the building when the facility is closed.
When notification is made that maintenance has been completed, the commanders are responsible for having the vehicle picked up immediately.
