Newport News Police Department
e. High liability policies, including OPS-110 Use of Force (for all employees authorized to carry any
weapon) and OPS-120 Vehicular Pursuits, require instruction before the employee is released to
a field assignment. [4.3.4, 41.2.2(m)]
2. PowerPolicy Training & Verification
a. A new or revised directive may have a test attached, to verify that employees understand critical
elements of the directive.
1) Employees will be allowed a minimum of three retakes and, unless specified otherwise by the
Chief of Police, all tests are open book. To acknowledge that they reviewed the directive,
employees must pass the test.
2) Employees unable to pass the test, exceeding all available retakes, must notify their
supervisor. Their supervisor will identify the reason for the failure and provide appropriate
remedial training. Once this is accomplished, the supervisor will submit a request for a test
reset to the Planning & Research Office.
a) The supervisor will notify the officer’s chain of command, informing them of the failure
and that a reset was requested.
b) If, after re-training, the employee is still unable to pass the test, their precinct/division
commander will be notified, through the chain of command.
b. Certain directives use PowerPolicy’s training function to provide scheduled policy reviews. These
reviews are mandatory for assigned personnel and should be completed within thirty (30) days
of notification in PowerPolicy.
