Standard Operating Procedure. The Sheriff agrees that, to the extent possible, SOPs shall be reduced to writing and a copy given to the OPBA Director in advance of their enforcement.

SOPs shall not violate this Agreement. The Sheriff will not selectively enforce SOPs against individual employees. Any disagreements over interpretation of SOPs shall be presented to the Sheriff and processed in the Grievance/Arbitration Procedure. The Sheriff shall provide access to the SOPs, including any future amendments thereto, and shall make the SOP’s available in electronic form for all employees to read; delivery may be made electronically or stored electronically or digitally; portals may be used. The Sheriff will post or distribute changes/additions to the SOPs electronically or digitally; portals may be used.
