Policy
Commanders of all precincts, units and divisions shall ensure that roll calls are conducted at the beginning of each shift within their commands. Precinct roll calls should be brief and informative preparatory sessions, geared to getting the officers out on patrol quickly. There must be at least one squad working the street during roll call. The officers in that squad can receive the roll call information later in their shift.
Formal roll call may not be practical for small divisions or units. In such instances, information may be presented in a less formal manner, however, employees are still responsible for knowing and understanding MPD orders and communications.
