LAW ENFORCEMENT GUIDEBOOK/`CHEAT SHEET' TEMPLATES

A COMMON FALSE ASSUMPTION IS THAT ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LAWS/ORDINANCES WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION THAT PERTAIN TO RAILROADS. MOST OFFICERS ARE EAGER TO WORK AT MAKING THE RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY A SAFER AND MORE SECURE PLACE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND/OR TRAINING TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE APPROPRIATE LAWS/ORDINANCES. DEVELOPING A LAW ENFORCEMENT GUIDEBOOK/`CHEAT SHEET' THAT CONTAINS RAILROAD RELATED LAWS, ORDINANCES, EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS, AND OTHER IMPORTANT REFERENCE MATERIALS IS AN EASY AND OFTEN TIMES, ECONOMICAL WAY AT ENCOURAGING YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO ENFORCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY ALONG THE RAILROAD RIGHT-OFWAY. THESE TEMPLATES ARE PROVIDED AS A RESOURCE/GUIDE SO THAT YOU CAN EASILY CREATE A SIMILAR DOCUMENT FOR YOUR JURISDICTION. ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PROVIDED AS REFERENCE MATERIAL AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED CURRENT AND/OR FACTUAL. PLEASE USE APPROPRIATE CARE IN CONDUCTING THE NECESSARY RESEARCH AND, IF NECESSARY, CONSULT YOUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE IN DEVELOPING A GUIDEBOOK/`CHEAT SHEET' FOR YOUR JURISDICTION.
