To provide instructions and minimize risk to members of the service (uniformed and civilian) or auxiliary police officers who have contact with or handle an animal or person who may have an infectious disease, or who have contact with or handle hazardous materials.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE - as used in this procedure, includes diseases capable of being transmitted by contact with an infected animal’s saliva or central nervous system tissue, or with an infected individual’s blood or body fluids.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - as used in this procedure, includes any chemical, biological, or radiological substance which is a health hazard. Chemical health hazards include carcinogens, toxic agents, irritants, corrosives, or agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes, etc. Chemical physical hazards include flammable or combustible liquids, compressed gas, or explosive or reactive substances, etc.

EXPOSURE TO AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE - as used in this procedure, includes those situations where a member of the service is exposed by airborne transmission or direct contact to an individual suspected of having a disease, or where a member comes in contact with the blood or body fluids of an individual suspected of having an infectious disease, or, where a member of the service is injured as the result of a human or animal bite, or hypodermic needle puncture, or other contaminated sharp instrument, or where a member of the service is exposed to an animal suspected of having an infectious disease, or where a member comes in contact with the saliva or central nervous system tissue of an animal suspected of having an infectious disease.

EXPOSURE TO A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - as used in this procedure, includes those situations where a member of the service is exposed to a hazardous material whether through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, or parenteral contact.

To avoid unnecessary exposure, control of the aided/collision victim, or prisoner will be assigned to an officer at the scene who has already had contact with a person suspected of having an infectious disease. The assigned officer will be responsible for completing the processing of the individual. If there are numerous individuals involved, the patrol supervisor at the scene will be responsible for the coordination of information and documenting the name, etc., of the members of the service involved. This Department is offering certain members of the service the opportunity to receive, free of charge, pre- exposure, a series of three inoculations of the vaccine against Hepatitis B; and free of charge, post-exposure inoculation. This Department is offering certain members of the service the opportunity to receive, free of charge, pre-exposure, a routine annual or biannual, Mantoux (PPD) skin test against tuberculosis (based on a determination of a significant occupational exposure); and, free of charge, post-exposure, a Mantoux (PPD) skin test against tuberculosis (based on a determination of a significant exposure).

Upon being exposed to an infectious disease, hazardous material, or suffering a human or animal bite, or hypodermic needle puncture wound:

1. Comply with the guidelines listed in “ADDITIONAL DATA” statement of this procedure, when possible.

2. Notify desk officer, precinct of occurrence.

When exposure does not involve an actual injury and the exposure is related to tuberculosis, the member of the service concerned should consider this Department’s offer of Mantoux (PPD) skin testing which is free of charge. When tested and the results are positive, notify Unit Safety Officer to initiate entry on State of New York - Department of Labor Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (DOSH 900). Tuberculosis infection and tuberculosis disease are both recordable on DOSH 900 logs. A code (e.g., maiden name pseudonym) may be used to substitute for the description of injury or illness (column [F]).

By telephoning this Department’s designated officer at the Medical Division, Hazmat Unit, emergency response employees, such as a law enforcement officer or auxiliary police officer, may submit a request for a determination whether they were exposed to a specific infectious disease when a victim of an emergency who was aided by the emergency response employee was transported to a medical facility. If it is determined that the emergency response employee may have been exposed to an infectious disease, a signed written request, along with the facts collected, must be sent by the designated officer to the medical facility to which the victim (or patient), i.e., aided or prisoner, was transported. After receiving a notification from the medical facility, to the extent practicable, the designated officer must immediately notify the member or members concerned. Whenever the designated officer discloses information related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) to an emergency response employee, redisclosure by the emergency response employee is prohibited when not in conformance with state law.

ACCIDENTAL SPILLS OF BLOOD OR BODY FLUIDS.

A supply of household bleach will be maintained at all precinct/psa/district commands, emergency service units, borough court section facilities, and other appropriate sites. Accidental spills of blood or body fluids on floors, cells, RMP’s or on other surfaces, other than clothing, or fabric may be cleaned by applying a FRESHLY MIXED solution of one part household bleach with ten parts water. It is imperative that the preceding mixture be carefully followed. Household bleach is not to be mixed with any solution other than water and it must be freshly mixed for each use.

Members of the service (uniformed and civilian) are reminded that this mixture of bleach and water will cause damage if used to clean uniforms. Uniform items soiled with blood or body fluids can be effectively cleaned by routine laundering or dry cleaning procedures. Bleach should not be used to cleanse hands. In addition, bleach mixed with any substance other than water may cause a toxic gas. Therefore, disposal of bleach or bleach dilutions should be performed only in a sink (not a urinal or toilet since they sometimes contain chemical deodorizers). When preparing a bleach dilution, the container used for the diluted solution must be cleaned with water and free of any other solution.

To prevent injury/infection when handling or forwarding hypodermic needles/syringes to the Property Clerk, members of the service will place such items in a hypodermic needle/syringe container by utilizing a one-handed “scoop” technique which uses the needle itself to pick up the hypodermic needle/syringe container. (By using one hand to hold the hypodermic syringe while moving the hypodermic needle toward the hypodermic needle/syringe container, the member of the service is moving the needle away from himself/herself. Members should not hold the container and move their hand toward the needle). The container will be capped, if possible. However, if the syringe extends beyond the container, it will be secured with tape. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A MEMBER OF THE SERVICE ATTEMPT TO REMOVE, DISLODGE, OR BEND A NEEDLE FROM A HYPODERMIC SYRINGE.

ADDITIONAL DATA

To receive recognition from the Integrity Review Board for involvement in bribery related offense, the uniformed member concerned must be the individual who was offered/accepted the bribe and either effected the arrest for the crime of bribery or charged the defendant with the additional crime of bribery. In situations when the arresting officer is not the uniformed member offered the bribe, an ARREST REPORT SUPPLEMENT must be prepared delineating the circumstances surrounding the additional charge of bribery.

All uniformed members of the service directly involved in a “controlled pad” incident, i.e., receives payoffs, acts as an intermediary, etc., are eligible to receive recognition from the Integrity Review Board

The types of recognition uniformed members of the service are eligible to receive are as follows:

a. Police Commissioner’s letter of commendation

b. Award of one to five Career Program points

c. Waiver of all or part of the Career Path requirements for consideration for assignment to a specific command/bureau

d. Patrol precinct to patrol precinct transfers

e. Interviews for preferential assignments, i.e., Highway Districts, Emergency Service Unit, etc.

f. Interviews for investigative assignments, i.e., Detective Bureau, etc.

NOTE The Integrity Review Board may recommend that uniformed members of the service be granted interviews for a potential assignment to one of the Department’s investigative track units for having effected arrests for bribery or other acts of high integrity. The actual impact or perceived impact of the “Eighteen Month Detective Designation Law” should NOT effect the decision to grant an interview to a well deserving uniformed member. The integrity of the Department is of the utmost concern and efforts to properly reward uniformed members for their exemplary conduct should NOT be diminished.

g. Award of additional investigative time towards eligibility for promotion to detective designation.
