I would like to commend Patrol Officer Lindsey Neal for his actions at XXXXXXX (a security post) on Saturday, July 4, 2020. Officer Neal responded to a call of a drug transaction taking place with a witness who had videotaped the incident. Officer Neal contacted OCPD and when they arrived on scene he concisely related all of the pertinent facts relating to the incident including the person making the complaint (video operator) a description of the persons involved and their location on the premises. OCPD reported to the room in question after reviewing the video footage, questioned persons involved, and after Officer Neal observed the subjects attempting to leave the site made contact and an arrest was made.   Officer Neal conducted himself professionally and in the correct manner of a patrol officer and USTASC employee. -Chief E. Avnet

Hey there.   I wanted to go over a few things just so that everyone is on the same page.  As the bullet-resistant vests are being distributed, please bear in mind these are company property that must be returned if you leave or are terminated. Please take care of this property. You are wearing about $550.00. When washing the vest carriers, YOU MUST remove the vest panels. This can be done by accessing the bottom of the vest and removing the front and back internal panels. DO NOT WASH THE ENTIRE VEST! Please keep this equipment clean and in working order. Badges must still be worn visibly on the vest carrier. You must still wear your uniform shirt with a patch under the vest carrier. Non-uniform shirts, black shirts, etc ARE NOT ALLOWED. Do not attach anything additional to the vests (i.e. patches, etc). "Morale" patches are not authorized either. Many times moral patches can be offensive to others.   Please DO NOT wear anything political in nature whil...

Charles Echart or Eckart (unknown true last name spelling) was found on USTASC property asking for directions. Echart, a white male approx 5'10, 165 Lbs, short-cropped hair and a goatee, tattoos on both arms, and was heavily intoxicated.  Echart is homeless and is believed to staying in a wooded area near USTASC property. A photo will be posted on the USTASC employee portal. SPD was called to the scene and issued Echart a lifetime trespass notice. Echart became disorderly and attempted to attack Chief E. Avnet at which time he was repelled. No injuries took place however, Echart vowed to return to the property.  If Echart is observed on USTASC property by any USTASC special police officer he should be detained (arrested), and the police. Advise the police that he has a lifetime trespass notice issued by SPD. If a security officer observes him on USTASC property, call the police immediately and keep him insight. Echart may attempt to fight.   BY ORDER OF  -Chief E. Av...

Those officers who complete log reports, hazard reports, and incident reports (Eastern Shore Officers). It is very important that you include all the appropriate information. ANY disturbance should be logged. If the police are called, it is a repeated violation OR it is an eviction then an incident report MUST BE generated. It didn't happen if it is not documented. It will save you and us a lot of heartache when the client calls and asks what happened the previous night. If we don't have anything to tell them because an incident is missing from your log and there is no incident report, we have to call you.  When you complete an incident report always remember: WHO - Who is involved, Who you are, who are the names of persons involved if possible, names of police officers/ID numbers. Dates of birth of suspects. WHAT - What type of incident is occurring WHERE - Address of the location (Building/Apartment/Unit #) HOW - How did this incident occur? WHY - Why is this incident occurri...

TO ALL OFFICERS: This is a reminder that YOU MUST CLOCK IN AND OUT ON BOTH SHIFTBOARD AND ADP.  Currently, there are 14 employees with 16-time card exceptions. If you do not clock in and out on time, each time, it may seriously affect your payroll. You must clear time card exceptions if they occur. I am sure that you want to be paid on time and for the correct amount. We want to pay you correctly. So, do us both a favor and make sure you are clocking in and out properly.  Understand, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSED TIME CARD PUNCHES. It is incumbent upon you to track your time accordingly.  All officers are required to maintain their uniform appearance while on duty. Your shirt must ALWAYS be tucked in, black boots, and a uniform shirt. Your uniform shirt should be pressed and/or ironed. Do not come in looking like a soup sandwich. Food stains, other stains, dirty shirts, are not acceptable. Supervisors, above all else, are expected to maintain a sharp-looking unif...
