Miscellaneous Policies

Resignation Policy

If a member from BCSO resigns, they have the opportunity to come back and be reinstated within 24 hours of their resignation. They will receive their previous rank or one similar, decided upon by the command staff or the Heads Team. This excludes being banned, leaving Discord, and resigning for punitive reasons. The member will still have their previous internal disciplinary record if reinstated.

Poaching

Poaching someone from another department is strictly prohibited. If you are caught poaching, BCSO will issue heavy punishment up to and including termination.

Identification

When you are speaking to anyone, whether that be a civilian, criminal, or first responder, you must identify yourself with your callsign, name, and rank.

Supervisor Request Policy

BCSO Deputies are not required to present a supervisor if requested. You are expected to use common sense, and if the individual is sincere and the supervisor's request is worth the supervisor's time and is not being used to waste time, then you should call one down if available. A deputy at the rank of corporal or above may respond to the request.

Server Transfer Policy

BCSO and SADRP do not accept any form of "server transfers" for people wishing to "transfer" their current ranks to ranks within SADRP. Everyone follows the same process.

Social Media Policy

Within the Blaine County Sheriff's Office, you are held to a professional and respectful standard both on and off duty. As a deputy, you cannot post unprofessional content, post anything derogatory, or finally you cannot defame the department.

Do not show off your arrests or show off committing acts that violate the JDC or Department SOP.
