Policies and Procedures for VI/Blind Detectives

[rducasey]

Policies and procedures for blind and visually impaired detectives.


At the arrest of a suspect, where the suspect is considered a flight risk, as soon as the detectives have restrained the suspect the VI/Blind detective is instructed to immediately produce his cane for the purposes of O&M within the crime scene, should their sighted partner be unable to perform guiding duties due to having to pursue or subdue the suspect(s).

All VI/Blind detectives must be drop dead gorgeous.

All Bosses of VI/Blind detectives must be hardasses.

Don't leave your guide dog in the car.

If you must go undercover as a "blind drug dealer," take your cane -- you may need it.

If you get in a car with someone, find out where you're going.

• A minimum of 1 (one) detective in three and a maximum of 2 (two) detectives in five of sighted detectives within the squad are to be fundamentally and vocally against the inclusion of the VI/Blind detective within the squad on anything higher than modified duty.

Must say: "You have the right to remain silent, but I'd really prefer you didn't" when arresting a suspect, to "lighten" the moment (stolen from Monk, I admit)

If asked how you are, you must always say you are fine. Any other response will be interpreted as weakness by the detectives described above.

All VI/Blind detectives must be stylishly and immaculately dressed while on the job and at play.

All VI/Blind detectives must have easily identifiable yet endearing
characteristics that signals the sighted co-worker that he is mentally going over the particulars of a case and should not be disturbed. Examples of such characteristcs are the lip bite and the "thinking/zoned out" mode

All VI/Blind detectives must be able to take constructive criticism without taking offense.

All VI/Blind detectives must be willing to "play up the blindness" but only when it is warranted by the circumstances of a particular case.

All VI/Blind detectives must check and be sure that they have all pertinent equipment (ie-lap top computers) in their possession when leaving their residence and to keep all such equipment on or about their person until reaching the workplace so as not to have to retrace their steps to locate said equipment and run the risk of being late to work.

All VI/Blind detectives must ensure that they have memorized the entire squad locker room so as to enable them to easily identify their locker on the off-chance that it may change locations, usually on an episodic basis. And one must always ensure that where ever it is, there are no unnecessary stickers or identifying marks of any nature affixed thereto.

All VI/Blind detectives must leave their belly guns at home before going out to dinner in case the need to defend their date's honour arises and a brawl ensues.

Must be willing to solve an extremely high percentage of cases using your nose.

All VI/Blind detectives who happen to be drop dead gorgeous with eyes of an incredible blue color surrounded by the longest lashes ever, are required to remove hingeless glasses when interrogating all perps, speaking to other detectives or brass, and working out with a speedbag.

All VI/Blind detectives must be ready on a moment's notice to help a fellow squad member decipher almost unintelligable garble on audio-taped evidence because he happens to possess "good ears"

All VI/Blind detectives are allowed to ask any other squad members what color their eyes are without it being assumed they are hitting on said squad members.

Must also be a psychic or a medium so as not to be cancelled.

Talking to the "dead" or seeing the future is more believable then being a good detective with a visual disability.

All VI/Blind detectives must remember that it is probably the first time their new partner has been assigned a visually challenged partner and should act according. They must be willing to inform the said partner of the need to fully describe all crime scenes and advise them of all visual clues necessary to the case at hand among other things.

All VI/Blind detectives must remember to say "we" instead of "I" when refering to the gathering of evidence because, after all, it is a "team effort."
