ATTACHMENT A in a noisy, open area with a large crowd present, officers need to remove the radio from their belts to hear transmissions. With the use of earpieces, critical communications would not be missed and officers would retain both hands free for more effective arrest and control techniques. Goal: Enhance officer safety by supplying each officer an ear piece compatible with the Motorola XTS3000 and XTS 5000 800 MHz radios. Objectives: Supply patrol officers with radio earpieces to increase tactical abilities and decrease escalated use of force incidents. Quantifiable Performance Measures: Performance will be measured by decreased number of incidents in which suspects overhear transmissions that cause incidents to escalate. Performance will also be measured by decreased officer/suspect injuries in incidents that earpieces would allow officers to keep hands free for optimal arrest/control techniques to be utilized.
