Attachment A - Joint Agreement for 800 MHz CCCS Page 76 of 83 When a site has been vandalized or broken into, the jurisdictional law enforcement agency should be notified. The person who discovers the event has the responsibility to preserve the crime scene and not contaminate it. He/she should have Systems Watch log the time when the event was discovered and any other pertinent information relating to the site/scene. Systems Watch should notify the appropriate local law enforcement agency as well as the Orange County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander and Control One. Other agencies may be notified if they own equipment at the site. Lead Agency will notify all affected agencies as soon as possible. When the site is off the air due to a crime, the technician should refrain from making entry unless permission has been given by the Lead Agency Director due to extreme circumstances taking place that requires coverage from the site. If a radio technician should arrive at a site and an unauthorized vehicle or person is on the property, they should back off, notify Systems Watch and call 911. The technician should give the 911 call taker the street address and advise them of the situation. If there is no cell service on site, the technician should radio the information to Systems Watch and request law enforcement response. Systems Watch personnel should immediately contact the appropriate law enforcement agency to request response. Systems Watch personnel will also notify Lead Agency supervisors and management. At no time should the technician put themselves at risk of harm. If a technician has to respond to a vandalized remote site after normal business hours, it is recommended for safety reasons that a minimum of two persons respond to the site. Law enforcement may be requested to go to the site with the technician. Management The Lead Agency Director is responsible for managing this procedure. 8.2 Network Operational Security Purpose or Objective Establishes the specific security measures for System and subsystem equipment and to define site security policy.
