Employees are responsible for reporting all threats or acts of violence to their <br /> supervisor as soon as possible. They should provide the flowing information: by <br /> whom and to whom the threat was made or act was committed, when and where <br /> it was made, what was said or action taken, and others who might have <br /> witnessed it. Any verbal threat or actual act of violence should also be <br /> documented by the employee and given to the Supervisor <br /> The most important thing for an employee to remember is, if faced with a citizen <br /> or employee with a weapon, don't resist. If he/she wants your money, give to <br /> him/her. <br /> If you are threatened by a person without a weapon, try to talk the person into <br /> calming down and ask what you can do to help. Make sure he/she knows you <br /> understand the problem by re-stating it. Focus on behavior and not the person. <br /> Don't hesitate to call for help when you feel it is necessary. <br /> If you have been the victim of an attack or have witnessed an attack, report it at <br /> once to your Supervisor. If the Supervisor is not immeaiately available, you <br /> should: <br /> Call 911 immediately <br /> Carefully and accurately describe the act and the attacker. <br /> Do not change anything at the scene where the violence occurred. <br /> Do not clean up, reset furniture, or touch any object handled by the <br /> attacker <br /> In the event of rape, do not wash yourself or change clothes until a doctor <br /> has competed an exam <br /> 2. SUPERVISOR'S RESPONSIBUI o SES <br /> If a threat or act of violence is reported to the Supervisor, he/she is responsible <br /> for evaluating the situation and taking appropriate action to protect the <br /> employees and/or citizens from further violence. <br /> If an incident involved emergency and/or criminal activity, the Supervisor shall <br /> refer it to the Sheraff's Batesville Police Department for investigation. If the <br /> incident is not considered an emergency and no criminal activity is involved, an <br /> investigation, if needed, will be handled by the Mayor and/or the employee's <br /> Supervisor. <br /> If an employee is the perpetrator of the violence, the Supervisor may suspend <br /> the employee immediately, pending an investigation, depending on the <br /> 52 <br />
