Published with permission by Alameda Police Department ***DRAFT*** Records Division - 4 Upon receipt of a written opinion from the prosecuting attorney affirming factual innocence, the Administration Supervisor should forward the petition to the Investigations Division Supervisor and the City Attorney for review. After such review and consultation with the City Attorney, the Investigations Division Supervisor and the Administration Supervisor shall decide whether a finding of factual innocence is appropriate.

Upon determination that a finding of factual innocence is appropriate, the Administration Supervisor shall ensure that the arrest record and petition are sealed for later destruction and the required notifications are made to the California DOJ and other law enforcement agencies (Penal Code § 851.8).

The Administration Supervisor should respond to a petition with the Alameda Police Department’s decision within 45 days of receipt. Responses should include only the decision of the Alameda Police Department, not an explanation of the analysis leading to the decision. 806.5 ARREST WITHOUT FILING OF ACCUSATORY PLEADING
The Field Services Bureau Commander should ensure a process is in place for when an individual is arrested and released and no accusatory pleading is filed so that the following occurs (Penal Code § 849.5; Penal Code § 851.6):
(a) The individual is issued a certificate describing the action as a detention upon request. (b) All references to an arrest are deleted from the arrest records of the Alameda Police Department and the record reflects only a detention.
(c) The California DOJ is notified.
806.6 FILE ACCESS AND SECURITY
The security of files in the Records Division must be a high priority and shall be maintained as mandated by state or federal law. All case reports including but not limited to initial, supplemental, follow-up, evidence, and any other reports related to a police department case, including field interview (FI) cards, citations, criminal history records, and publicly accessible logs, shall be maintained in a secure area within the Records Division, accessible only by authorized members of the Records Division. Access to case reports or files when Records Division staff is not available may be obtained through the Watch Commander. All records are also maintained electronically.

The Records Management System features a comprehensive security system that protects against unauthorized access in multiple ways. First, each physical workstation can be configured to allow or prevent access to sensitive information such as State/NCIC information. Second, the Records Management System employs a software security system that sets the security access of each user down to an individual function basis. Each user belongs to a security group, which defines the user's capabilities for each system function. Access can be controlled in features such as adding new records, updating records, deleting records, and accessing juvenile records.

The Records Division will also maintain a secure file for case reports deemed by the Chief of Police as sensitive or otherwise requiring extraordinary access restrictions.

Alameda Police Department
Alameda Police Department Policy Manual
Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2025/10/30, All Rights Reserved.

Published with permission by Alameda Police Department ***DRAFT*** Evaluation of Employees - 1 Evaluation of Employees
1002.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The Alameda Police Department's employee performance evaluation system is designed to record work performance for both the Alameda Police Department and the employee, providing recognition for good work and developing a guide for improvement. 1002.1.1 ACCREDITATION STANDARDS
This policy pertains to the following CALEA Standards: 35.1.2 1002.2 POLICY
The Alameda Police Department utilizes a performance evaluation report to measure performance and to use as a factor in making personnel decisions that relate to merit increases, promotion, reassignment, discipline, demotion, and termination. The evaluation report is intended to serve as a guide for work planning and review by the supervisor and employee. It gives supervisors a way to create an objective history of work performance based on job standards.

The Alameda Police Department evaluates employees in a non-discriminatory manner based upon job-related factors specific to the employee's position, without regard to actual or perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, pregnancy, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, and any other classification or status protected by law.
1002.3 FULL TIME PROBATIONARY PERSONNEL
Professional Staff personnel are on probation before being eligible for certification as permanent employees. An evaluation is completed for all full-time professional staff personnel during the probationary period.

Sworn personnel are on probation for 24 months before being eligible for certification as permanent employees. Lateral sworn police employees who possess, at minimum, a Basic POST Certificate and have two years of experience as a police officer are on probation for at least 12 months before being eligible for certification as a permanent employee. Probationary officers are evaluated daily, weekly and monthly during the probationary period. 1002.4 DIVISION FILES
To attain uniformity, and to preclude the practice of duplicate or unnecessary record keeping, the following policy is implemented:

Transfers
- If an employee is transferred to another Division or unit in the middle of an evaluation period, their Division files shall accompany them, provided that they are of use to the new supervisor. If such files are of no further use they are to be destroyed. Duplicate files are not necessary and shall not be kept.

Published with permission by Alameda Police Department ***DRAFT*** Evaluation of Employees - 2 Termination - If an employee quits or is terminated, their Divisional files shall be closed out immediately. Materials no longer needed shall be destroyed. Items of informational value which are to be kept shall be forwarded to the Chief's office for inclusion in the former employee's closed personnel file. There shall be only one closed file on former employees and no information shall be released from the closed files except with direct authorization from the Chief of Police.

Current Employees
- Divisional files are kept only for the convenience of the respective units.

Supervisors must keep them current and must not allow them to become repositories of out-dated or worthless information. In no event should information be released to outside inquirers from the informal Divisional files unless specifically authorized by the Divisional Commander 1002.4.1 RATINGS
When completing the Employee Performance Evaluation, the rater will evaluate each employee on rating categories. The rater will also give an overall rating of the employee's performance. The definition of each rating standard is as follows:

Meets Standards - The employee's performance meets the standards of their essential job functions.

Does Not Meet Standards - The employee's performance does not meet the minimum standards of their essential job functions.

Space for the employee's strengths, areas of growth and/or any other brief written comments is provided at the end of the evaluation. Any rating categories marked as Does Not Meet Standards shall be substantiated in the comments section. 1002.4.2 PERSONNEL REPORTS
Notes may be made to assist supervisors in documenting facts that may later be used for performance evaluation purposes.

Personnel reports must not remain in existence beyond 12 months.

Responsibility for security of the files will rest with the Training Unit. The Alameda Police Department Personnel Report (APD-104) may be used for documenting events in replacement of a supervisor's notes.

Supervisors may use the Personnel Report to document events occurring during the rating period.

After completing a Personnel Report, the supervisor will forward it to the appropriate Division Commander for review and their signature. The form will then be returned to the supervisor who will review it with the employee. It will then be held in Training Unit files until it is attached to the performance appraisal at the end of the rating period.
1002.5 EVALUATION REVIEW
All evaluations are to be submitted through the chain to the Bureau Commander for review prior to the employee reviewing and signing. Evaluations of managers, lieutenants, and captains are to EXHIBIT 1

1002.6 EVALUATION INTERVIEW
Arrangements shall be made for a private discussion of the evaluation between the employee and their supervisor. The supervisor should discuss the results of the just completed rating period and clarify any questions the employee may have. If the employee has valid and reasonable protests of any of the ratings, the supervisor may make appropriate changes to the evaluation.

Areas needing improvement and goals for reaching the expected level of performance should be identified and discussed. The supervisor should also provide relevant counseling regarding advancement, specialty positions, and training opportunities. Permanent employees may also write comments in the Employee Comments section of the performance evaluation report. 1002.7 EVALUATION DISTRIBUTION
The performance evaluation will be maintained and will be available for review by the employee and their supervisors.
1002.8 EVALUATION PERIODS
All personnel will be rated annually. Evaluations will be due on the last day of each month based alphabetically on the employees' last names. The employee's current supervisor is responsible for completing the employee's evaluation by the due date. Any supervisor who directly supervised an employee for more than 90 days during the evaluation period must have input on the employee's evaluation.

January - Employees with last names beginning in A or B February - Employees with last names beginning in C or D March - Employees with last names beginning in E or F

The Chief,or their designee, may interview the candidates and retains the latitude of selection.

The policy and procedures for all positions, including completion of probation, may be waived for temporary assignments, emergency situations, or for training, at the discretion of the Chief.

advisement. Administrative investigators
should consider the impact that compelling a statement from the member may have on any related criminal investigation and should take reasonable steps to avoid creating any foreseeable conflicts between the two related investigations.

Soft body armor should never be stored for any period of time in an area where environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, light, humidity) are not reasonably controlled (e.g., normal ambient room temperature/humidity conditions), such as in automobiles or automobile trunks.

Survivors - Immediate family members of the deceased member, which can include spouse, children, parents, other next of kin, or significant others.
