    Good Morning,

    Do any of your agencies have a directive regarding when it is acceptable or not acceptable to leave an agency vehicle running while unattended? I’m sure K-9 vehicles are covered under the acceptable section, but are there any other instances that are covered?

    Thank you,

    Hello Wendy:) Below is what our Agency Vehicles policy states:

    Vehicles shall be secured and the keys removed when a vehicle is parked and unattended.
    a. Firearms shall be secured consistent with policy 472.0, Firearms.
    b. When the vehicle is not in use off-duty, the following items shall be secured in either the member’s home, vehicle’s trunk, or weapons vault (if equipped):
    (1). Portable Radios.
    (2). MDCs.
    p. Other than K-9 vehicles with a canine inside, unattended vehicles shall be completely secured by having windows up, doors locked, and engine off.

    Hope this is helpful!
    God bless
