Via Jose LaSalle: Copwatch Patrol Unit (CPU) has learned that these police officer never identified themselves to the so-called perps and did not have a badge on display when shot by the so-called arm robbers. These officers fail to follow proper procedures and protocols. Police officer Pellerano, a nine-year veteran and police officer Dossi, an eight-year veteran not only put their lives in danger, but also put civilians lives in danger by not following proper procedures and protocols. These officers are well known bullies in the 46 precinct. These officers I believe have many CCRB complaints against them and that should also be noted. It reminds me when police officer Ramish Bangali from the PSA2 precinct fail to follow proper procedures and protocols which lead to the death of an innocent young man. On September 7, 2012 Reynaldo Cuevas, 20, and his uncle were in Natalie Grocery, at 1229 Franklin Avenue, when armed robbers burst in as the store was closing at 2 a.m. and the victims were held hostage, but managed to escape. Reynaldo Cuevas ran out the store believing he was out of danger and ends up being murder by police officer Ramish Bangali who fail to follow proper procedures and protocols. Reynaldo was shot thru his left shoulder on his backside. Then police drags his body for 15 feet and leaves Reynaldo there bleeding out and there was a hospital across the street. https://youtube/watch?v=0yzo7E8q3yE https://youtube/watch?v=hP_aICdgyBQ PG 212-33 CONFRONTATION SITUATIONS IO 54 ISSUED 12-24-12 SUSPENDS/REPLACES PG 212-33 PURPOSE To safely resolve confrontations between members of the service, both on and off duty. SCOPE The type and circumstances of encounters between members of the service - whether in uniform or civilian clothes, both on and off duty - are so varied that they defy all-encompassing guidelines.

It must be absolutely clear in the minds of all members of the service that in any confrontation, the burden of proving identity rests on the CONFRONTED OFFICER whether on or off duty. The CHALLENGING OFFICER, however, also has a responsibility to use sound tactics and judgment in approaching the situation. DEFINITIONS CHALLENGING OFFICER - For the purpose of this procedure, the uniformed member of the service who comes upon the scene where an unidentified person states he/she is a police officer or whose actions may indicate he/she is taking police action (i.e., on duty or off duty uniformed member of the service or an enforcement officer from an outside criminal justice agency).

ADDITIONAL DATA TACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS Members of the service are reminded to deploy proper tactics and to use sound judgment when involved in confrontation situations. Members will remain on heightened alert until the member is completely satisfied as to the persons identity through verification of credentials. Members of the service are reminded to immediately take cover to the rear, not to the side, of the person being challenged, if possible. A challenge from the rear allows more time for the challenging officer to evaluate the subjects reactions and also gives the challenging officer a tactical advantage. A challenge from the side reduces response time. Civilian clothed uniformed members of the service should make it a practice to carry their shields in a pocket opposite their shooting hands. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Supervisors of uniformed members of the service who perform enforcement duty in civilian clothes will ensure that their subordinates are made aware of the color of the day at the commencement of their tours of duty. In addition, members of the service performing duty in civilian clothes will ensure that the color of the day is displayed in a conspicuous manner. DEPARTMENT POLICY The IDENTIFICATION CARD (PD416-091) is the primary form of identification for uniformed members of the Department and must always be carried. However, uniformed members of the service do not have to carry their shields when unarmed. FORMS AND REPORTS ACTIVITY LOG (PD 112-145) cc: Azi Paybarah
