OPERATING STANDARDS All matters governing operating procedures will balance the rights of citizens and the needs of law enforcement to detect, arrest, and prosecute individuals engaged in major narcotics trafficking and money laundering. Effective control of major narcotics offenses depends, to a large degree, on the close working relationship among agencies at all levels of law enforcement. Therefore, all RNSP personnel will assist, to their fullest individual ability, the development of inter -agency cooperation. PERSONNEL The assignment of all personnel to RNSP must be approved by their respective department heads. The Executive Board may reject any nominee based upon the officer's training, past performance or other factors bearing on suitability. In order to provide for continuity of effort and consistent application of these guidelines, the following minimum tours of duty with RNSP have been established by the Board: Team Leader /Supervisor/Sergeant — (3) years Officer/Agent/Deputy — (2) years. In conjunction with this minimum length of assignment to the Program, the maximum length of time an individual may serve in RNSP is (3) years. This maximum length of assignment applies to all ranks of lieutenant and below, with exceptions granted for special assignments, and at the specific direction, of the Executive Board. State and local officers assigned to RNSP will work full-time unless special Executive Board Arrangements have been made. Officers will be under the direct daily supervision of the Program Manager and follow all policies, procedures and guidelines specifically enacted by RNSP. Should any of the aforementioned policies or procedures conflict with their own department Rules and Regulations, the individual member will immediately bring said conflict to the attention of his/her RNSP supervisor. The supervisor will, in turn, bring the matter to the attention of the RNSP Program Manager, who will take the necessary action to allay the conflict.
