SECTION A-1 RESIDENTS OBJECTIVE: To control and monitor residents access to the property through any one of Rapallo, Terracina and Marsala entrances consisting of four security gates (“Gates”). To assure all residents are following access procedures and rules and regulations. BE AWARE OF: Residents sometimes attempt to pass the gates quickly to avoid Security seeing that they do not have a proper bar code on their vehicle. Residents also sometimes attempt to have their guests “Piggy-back” on them, passing through the gates, as the resident yells “they’re with me”. Also, some guests or visitors may try to pass as residents. Notify the OIC immediately if this occurs. PROCEDURES:

a) If the residents do not have a barcode sticker on his/her vehicle the resident must be stopped and their ID and resident address verified through the profiles and their Security PIN verified. If verified, allow them access, but also politely advise them of their need to have a proper and current bar code displayed on their vehicle.

b) If the person claims to be a resident and no verification is available on the profiles, Notify your OIC and

let them make the decision to deny access.

c) If the person claims to be a NEW RESIDENT, follow the new resident procedures as explained in A-2.

SECTION A-2 NEW RESIDENTS OBJECTIVE: To control and monitor new residents access to the property through any one of the Gates. New residents may either be in the process of moving in, awaiting movers or having moved in and not yet completed their profile. There may often be a delay of several days regarding information relating to a new resident taking ownership of a home. If a person approaches the Gate and states he/she is a new homeowner and you have no notification of that fact, follow the below procedures. BE AWARE OF: Individuals who are not new residents and attempt to gain access by stating that they “just bought the home at 123 Street and have not filled out their paperwork yet”. PROCEDURES:

a) Ask for paperwork showing/providing ownership of the home.

b) If proper paperwork is shown and/or access is allowed per Property Management, the person(s) may be permitted access.

c) If proper paperwork is shown and access is being granted, give the new resident a profile form and

advise them to fill it out as soon as possible to assure they have smooth access to the property.

d) If proper paperwork can not be shown, and it is during normal business hours, have the new resident contact the Property Management Office.

e) If proper paperwork can not be shown, and it is NOT during normal business hours, the OIC will

politely advise the individual(s) that without proper paperwork, neither they, nor their movers or guests may be admitted and give them a business card for the Property Management Company.

SECTION A-3 GUESTS OBJECTIVE: To control guest access to the property though any one of the Gates. Guests gaining access MUST have been verified by any of the below explained procedures. NO GUEST MAY BE ALLOWED ACCESS WITHOUT BEING ISSUED A CURRENT PASS. BE AWARE OF: Individuals stating, “Steve Smith knows I’m coming.” or “I’m going to the Smith residence at 123 Street.” or “I came in thought the other gate, but lost my pass.” etc. Knowing a resident’s name or address does not gain the guest access to the property. PROCEDURES:

a) Ask the guest’s name and destination.

b) Check the Secure Systems data base profile for the resident’s verification for this guest. If the name appears in the data base, issue a pass and allow access.

c) If the name does not appear on the resident’s permanent guest list in the data base, telephone the resident

for verification. If the resident verifies the guest, issue a pass and allow access.

d) If the resident is not available through telephone verification, the guest must be denied access.

e) If the guest disputes the access denial or attempts to make calls to whomever, do not allow them to do so at the gate while blocking traffic. They must pull around the Security Post and make whatever calls they need to make while not impeding the normal traffic to the gate. Be certain that the guest does not tailgate another vehicle into the community – this is especially important at the Marsala entrance.

f) If they ask you to call someone for them to gain verification, refuse politely, stating you are required

only to telephone the resident address for verification, you have done so and there was no answer or that entry was denied by the resident.

g) If they ask if they can use the telephone in the Security Post, politely advise them that they are not

allowed in the Security Post.

h) If the guest hands you their cell phone and says this is the resident, ask the resident for their Security Pin to verify you are speaking with the resident and, whenever someone calls you from off property and states he/she is a resident and wants to verify someone in, ask them for their Security Pin. The only time you would not ask for a Security Pin is in the event the Caller ID in the Security Post verifies the call is coming from the residence. Always have the OIC make the final determination on access issues.

i) Passes are valid for a 24 hour period, however upon re-entry, the pass must be examined for date, time and address. Remember to check the profile for pass address, some residents do not allow re-entry of their guest and a notation has been placed on their profile.

j) Multiple day GUEST passes may be issued for up to five (5) days including the day of issuance. No multiple day passes will be issued to vendors or construction workers.

SECTION A-4 VENDORS OBJECTIVE: To control vendor access to the property through any one of the three Security Gates. Vendors gaining access MUST have been verified by any of the below explained procedures. NO VENDOR MAY BE ALLOWED ACCESS WITHOUT PROPERLY BEING ISSUED A CURRENT PASS. BE AWARE OF: Individuals stating, “Steve Smith knows I’m coming.” or “I’m going to the Smith residence at 123 Street.” or “I came in though the other gate, but lost my pass.” etc. Knowing a resident’s name or address does not gain the guest access to the property. PROCEDURES:

a) Ask the vendor’s name and destination.

b) Check the Secure Systems data base for the resident’s verification. If the name appears on the profile, issue a pass and allow access.

c) If the name does not appear on the call down log, which is used to record new vendors when residents

do not know complete name of the vendor, the guard will record as much information as possible and then complete when the vendor arrives. The guard will also check the resident’s permanent vendor list in the Secure Systems data base. If the name appears on the resident’s permanent vendor list on their profile or the call down log, issue a pass and allow access.

d) If you suspect that a vendor may be illegally attempting to enter and or drive in the community, you may verify the driver’s license and proof of insurance. If they are unable to produce both, deny entry, immediately notify your OIC and prepare an Incident Report.

e) If the name does not appear on the resident’s permanent vendor list on their profile, telephone the

resident for verification. If the resident verifies the vendor, issue a pass and allow access.

f) If the resident is not available for telephone verification, the vendor must be denied access.

g) If the vendor disputes the denial or attempts to make cell calls to whomever, do not allow them to do so at the gate while blocking traffic. They must pull around the Security Post and make whatever calls they need to make while not impeding the normal traffic to the gate. Be certain that the guest does not tailgate another vehicle into the community – this is especially important at the Marsala entrance.

h) If they ask you to call someone for them to gain verification, refuse politely, stating that you are required

only to telephone the resident’s address for verification, you have done so and there is no answer or that access was denied.

The only time you would not ask for a Security Pin is in the event the Caller ID in the Security Post verifies the call is coming from the residence.

the destination address. Common sense and a certain amount of flexibility are sometimes warranted. If a large cement truck is attempting access or a vehicle is carrying a large delivery of lumber, crushed stone, etc. and the delivery or work order may not be as definitive as you’d like, the patrol vehicle is to escort the vehicle to the destination address. When in doubt, ask the vehicle to pull out of the way and notify the OIC.

d) If access is allowed and the vehicle is large or oversized or appears that it may have a possible problem

negotiating around the property, allow access, but advise the operator to pull in and stop and wait for an escort. Notify the OIC to respond to escort the construction vehicle in, and when their job is completed, the OIC will escort the vendor out. Please be guided by Section 21, under OIC Procedures.

REMEMBER. A vehicle transporting workers to a construction site is considered a construction vehicle and will be treated as a construction vehicle with respect to passes.

a) Ask for identification of the individual serving the papers – the person attempting to serve legal papers MUST has a VALID Process Servers Sheriff’s Card or Private Investigators License.

REMEMBER – As a gate guard, when in doubt, notify the OIC. If the OIC is in doubt, he will call the Account Manager. EXTRACT OF LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL BUREAU DECISION REGARDING “LEGAL PROCESS” AS DEFINED IN NRS 14.090: During the period before March 6, 1997, persons identifying themselves as process servers, working for companies not always licensed to serve process under NRS 648, presented many questionable documents to gate officers as “legal process”. The format of the documents wasn’t standardized so gate officers could recognize them as “legal process”. Many were unsigned; some by a notary public or were signed by attorneys. On March 6, 1997, the Nevada Legislature’s Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB) defined “legal process” as a document properly endorsed by a judge, the clerk of court or bearing the court seal. Any document signed by an attorney, a notary public, someone other than those described or unsigned is not “legal process”. A process server without a valid Process Server’s Sheriff’s Card as defined above will not be allowed to enter this gated community. Any attempt to serve process on the gate officer when the document(s) do not meet the LCB definition of “legal process” will not be accepted, is without effect and will return to the originator if left at the gate.

10

Note: NRS 14.090 has not been changed officially to reflect the LCB opinion above. Many companies that serve process, especially legal firms, do not recognize the LCB opinion for that very reason. Legal firms, for example, consider notices to pay rent arrears, signed by an attorney, as legal process per NRS 14.090 specifically because LCB opinion has not been changed officially. Prepare an Incident Report as necessary.

SECTION B OIC PROCEDURES, STANDARDS, REGUALTIONS OBJECTIVE: To assure OIC’s have written Procedures, Standards and Rules and Regulations by which to conduct their Security Activities while on property. BE AWARE OF: Having been trained and instructed in the following Procedures, Standards and Rules and Regulations and having initialed each one as evidence that you totally understand each. Violations of these Procedures, Standards and Rules and Regulations may result in disciplinary action ranging from Verbal and Written warnings to Suspension or Termination. 1) The OIC will stop at the gatehouses and perform uniform inspections at the beginning of their shift. 2) Conduct training of newly assigned officers, complete the training checklist and send to ISSI via fax or email. 3) All officers must receive documents training daily specifically by the OIC assigned to the same shift. 4) If confronted with a vendor delivery issue, use Post Order guidelines to base your decision on, but when not sure, call the OIC and be guided by his instruction. However, under no circumstances are you to accept monies. 5) Any recovered property, especially lost cash or identification is to be kept in the OIC lockbox in the rear of the company vehicle. HPD is to be notified, and all necessary reports and notifications made. Each OIC will verify the contents of the lockbox and document same on their Daily Activity Report. 6) Perform a minimum of six (6) speed control checks during the course of their shift, unless special occurrences limit their time availability and those occurrences must be documented on the Daily Activity Report.

(Special Note-Speed checks will not to be performed in Presidio. Roving patrols must obey the posted 15 MPH speed limit while in the Presidio Community. )

7) Reverse patrols are simply a means of back tracking to prevent observation of a routine patrol. Swing shift should perform at least five; grave shift should perform at least eight (8). With escorts, administration procedures and vendor checks, Day Shift OIC should perform at least five (5), unless special occurrences limit their availability and must be documented on the Daily Activity Report. 8) As a patrol officer observes violations, (parked on street or in fire lane) he will issue a Violation Notice, record the incident with photographs via NextMail, prepare an email notification and post the yellow copy of said violation(s) on the owner’s mailbox. 9) The violation must be complete with the date, time, location, vehicle, type/model, license plate number and OIC signature. 10) Unusual circumstances should be reported to the Account Manager immediately for determination. 11) If you observe an open garage door, first try to contract the resident, ask for compliance (resident should shut garage door). If no one answers, stay on post and notify HPD. Once you have an event number, document incident with an incident report and NextMail notification. If the resident refuses to shut the garage door, issue a citation. 12) No confrontation with residents and guests is allowed – professional conduct is paramount.

Page 17: POST ORDERS SECTION A Access Control Procedures … · SECTION A Access Control Procedures Page Number A ... 10 Media Contact 32 D ... Residents also sometimes attempt to have their

13) OIC’s on regular basis should also check vendor passes for date, address and possible parking violations. 14) OIC should periodically check passes expiration date displayed on the dashboard of vehicles. If the pass is expired, investigate and report to the account manager. 15) OIC’s will physically check all pedestrian gates for key pad operation, and to be sure the gate is locked and secured. If not, prepare a repair request and email to the Security Committee and the community manager. 16) Remember – Process Servers generally work for a Private Investigator, which means in the absence of a Process Servers License, a Private Investigators License is sufficient for entry.

An OIC must determine of the papers to be served were electronically submitted – which will only have the court name, judge name and appearance date or a traditional summons with a raised court seal. If you are not sure, call your account manager.

17) Look for any hazards and report via NextMail and email notification. 18) Monitor all construction sites to ensure compliance of all rules, especially fencing, debris outside of fencing, port-a-potty and dumpsters. Always remember that the fencing must be locked and secured by 6pm. 19) Physically check the status of all Fire/Crash Gates to ensure they are closed and secure. 20) When sprinkler heads or lines are observed malfunctioning, immediately notify both the Account Manager and the community manager via phone and email of the problem location. 21) Provide escort for oversized vehicles, the OIC will ascertain from the driver an approximate completion time for the escort out, if the OIC is apprised by the driver of a short stay, the OIC may stay at site until job completion and then escort vehicle out. If the job requires an extensive amount of time, ask the driver if he has a cell phone, the OIC will exchange the OIC’s telephone number with the driver’s cell number and advise driver to call him when he has completed his job and is ready for the escort out. The OIC must not rely on this, instead, constantly monitor the vehicle for all compliance issues. 22) Watch for inadvertent dumping by cement trucks, record any damage and as much information about the vehicle as possible (make, model and license plate etc), and notify both the Account Manager and community manager via telephone and complete an incident report. 23) Any damage caused to the Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio common areas or residential accidents caused by third parties, must be immediately reported (telephone, NextMail and email). The most important information is the responsible party insurance, license and registration information. 24) Watch all gates for inappropriate access – especially solicitors on foot. 25) It is the responsibility of the resident to notify the management company if they would like a Courtesy Vacation Watch Form or to download the form off the Secure Systems Group website. Remember- unless authorized by the community manager or the Account Manager, the scope of the Courtesy Watch will be limited to checks that do not require opening or closing doors or gates on property, we will visually check easily viewed access area’s which include windows and garage doors. Backyards checks can only be performed when there is unlocked access to the yard.

If any unusual circumstances appear at a home on the Vacation Watch List, Henderson Police must be notified immediately and then the Account Manager.

BE AWARE OF: Having been trained and instructed in the following Procedures, Standards and Rules and Regulations and having initialed each one as evidence that you totally understand each. Violations of these Procedures, Standards and Rules and Regulations may result in disciplinary action ranging from Verbal and Written warnings to Suspension or Termination. 1) Always, and without exception, follow all Access Control Procedures 2) Always give priority (except in the case of emergency vehicles) to residents when controlling access 3) Always have disputed or not readily verifiable guests or vendors pull around to the rear of the Security Post where their stopping does not block the gate. Be certain that the guest does not tailgate another vehicle into the community – this is especially important at the Marsala entrance. 4) Always deal with disputed access or not readily verifiable guests or vendors AFTER the driveway is clear and no one else is awaiting access. Never allow traffic to build up or block traffic or the gate when dealing with disputed or not readily verifiable guests or vendors. 5) Always greet residents, guests or vendors with clipboard in hand. 6) Always make an entry in the Secure Systems data base for each and every person(s) entering the property. Even emergency vehicles are to be noted. 7) Always remember that your primary function is to facilitate smooth and expedient access to the property WHILE ASSURING PROPER ACCESS CONTROL. 8) If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed with traffic or situations at the gate, immediately call for the OIC to come to assist you. 10) Always attempt to make eye contact with all residents entering the property using their bar code. 11) Always notify the OIC of gate “piggy-backers” and gate runners and always note whatever information you can obtain about the vehicle and incident and then prepare a voluntary statement, the OIC will prepare the incident report. 12) Always stop and challenge each and every guest and vendor. 13) Always maintain visual awareness of the driveway and never become so immersed in activity that you fail to keep visual contact with the driveway and gate. 14) Always strictly follow the procedures set forth in Section A-7 when dealing with process servers and NEVER alter the procedures. 15) Never accept telephone messages for residents.

16) Never leave the Security Post to walk outside to investigate or handle a situation. Such activity will undoubtedly take your attention from the driveway and gate. Instead, notify the OIC you need assistance in handling or looking into a situation. 17) Except for official Board of Directors business, you are NOT permitted to accept any packages and florists deliveries at the Security Post for pick-up by residents. Florists may leave an arrangement at the gate ONLY if the resident authorizes same. NEVER ACCEPT CASH TO BE LEFT FOR PICK-UP. 18) Never carry with you or on your person or have in the Security Post, any unauthorized weapons or articles or anything deemed a weapon as identified in Nevada Revised Statute 202. 19) Always be professional and courteous when dealing with anyone on property, even when a resident, guest or vendor may become obnoxious or insulting. 20) Never allow anyone other than ISSI employees to enter the Security Post.

Never use televisions, personal computers, DVD players, video games, etc. while on duty. COMPUTERS ARE TO BE USED ONLY FOR PROPERTY AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. 25) Always remove road hazards from the driveway or gate area, but only do so if the action of removing the hazard still allows you to keep visual contact with the driveway and gate area. Items such as pieces of lumber, trash containers, tree limbs, pieces of broken cement, glass, etc. present a hazard to vehicles traveling through the gates and should be cleared. If the hazard is too large/heavy to be cleared by yourself or if clearing the hazard may take your attention from the driveway or gate, notify the OIC to respond to assist you. 26) LOST OR FOUND PETS: If you observe a lost pet, USE COMMON SENSE in approaching the pet. The two main concerns are: a) to keep the pet safe and not to let it out of the gates/property; and b) keep sight of the pet while you notify the resident of the location of the pet. You may have the OIC respond to assist you in keeping the pet out of the roadway and safe from harm and/or you may lure the pet into the Security Post and keep it safe until the owner responds to claim it. 27) Never report to duty having taken or used, or take or use while on duty, any alcoholic beverages, narcotics or performance altering medications. 28) Never attempt to socialize with residents or guests. 29) Remember the rule of “Be Friendly, Not Friends”. 30) Never participate in or become involved in community “politics”.

SECTION D-4 OBSERVED OPEN GARAGE DOOR OBJECTIVE: To assure residents are notified when they leave their garage doors open after dark – presenting a security risk by allowing anyone access into their garage and possibly their home. BE AWARE OF: Residents may be annoyed when being notified in the middle of the night that their garage door is open. Therefore, be overly courteous and polite when handling “open garage doors”. PROCEDURES:

a) When the OIC observes an open garage door at a residence and it is during hours of darkness (after sunset and before sunrise), the OIC will telephone the residence and notify the resident that their garage door is open.

b) The OIC will stand-by at the property until the resident closes the garage door or notifies the OIC that

they (owner) are aware the door is open and the owner is not going to close it*. *If the owner notifies the OIC they are aware of their open garage door and are not going to close it, issue a citation for violation of the CC&R’s.

c) If no response from the owner after ALL contact numbers have been tried, contact the Henderson Police Department and do not leave site until an event number is obtained.

PRESIDIO OPEN GARAGE DOOR PROCEDURE

a) If a garage door if found open and unattended after dark, attempts are to be made to reach the homeowner to determine the safety and security of the situation. If the homeowner is contacted and refuses to close their garage door, no citation is to be handed to the homeowner.

SECTION D-5 BOMB THREAT OBJECTIVE: To assure the OIC and Security Post have written guidelines and procedures to follow in the event of a bomb threat to the property or resident. BE AWARE OF: The correct handling of bomb threats is extremely important. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU FOLLOW THE BELOW PROCEDURES EXACTLY AS SET FORTH. BOMB THREATS: 1. Standardized procedures are required to make sure ISSI, the Management Company and the Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio needs are met. The person who receives the call is responsible to:

a) Keep the checklist next to the telephone and obtain information from the caller.

b) Report the threat to the Police and then to the Management Company

c) Assist as directed to ensure the safety of residents and guests. 2. The bomb threat caller is the best source of information about the bomb. Whenever a threat is received by telephone, the more information obtained from the caller, the easier it will be to handle the situation. Remain as calm as possible and use the checklist on the next page to record appropriate information. Here are some important tips:

a) Try to get another person to listen in on the call immediately or put it on speaker if possible.

b) If the caller doesn’t indicate the location of the device or time of explosion, ask.

c) Inform the caller that The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio community is full of people and that detonation of a device could result in death or serious injury to many innocent people. It’s not likely the caller will have a change of heart, but it keeps him/her on the line longer and introduces the element of conscience the caller may not have considered.

d) Pay particular attention to background noises, such as motors running, music playing and other noises

which may provide a clue as to the location of the caller. Listen closely to the voice of the caller to determine sex, age, race and/or nationality. Pay specific attention to speech impediments, accents or other unique characteristics of the caller and his/her message.

e) As soon as the caller hangs up, report the threat to the Police and/or fire department by calling 911, then

the ISSI Command Center. Then notify the Management Company.

f) Instead of stopping all entry to the community, alert those entering to police/fire activity by placing the sign provided in one of the windows of the gatehouse on the entrance side.

g) Once evacuation of the area is complete, consider a perimeter at least equal to 500 feet and wait for

emergency crews. You shouldn’t reenter the evacuated area unless instructed to do so.

h) Complete the bomb threat checklist.

SECTION D-6 VEHICLE REPOSSESSION OBJECTIVE: To assure the OIC and Security Post have written guidelines and procedures regarding vehicle repossessions on property. BE WAWARE OF: The removal of a vehicle from property WITHOUT the owner’s consent is a serious matter; therefore, BE ABSOULTELY SURE YOU FOLLOW THE BELOW PROCEDURES EXACTLY AS SET FORTH. PROCEDURES: The following advises you as to how to deal with people who identify themselves as employed by, representatives of or a license holder of a company licensed to provide repossession services. Repossessors will always have a court order, or similar document, to repossess a vehicle; but don’t be bullied by unscrupulous companies or their agents who try to push past you with claims of “legal rights”, “obstruction”, etc. With one exception, shown below, repossession companies and/or their agents, have no legal rights of access to a gated community under any circumstances if they don’t otherwise meet the community entry requirements. ISSI Operations and the command center have a list of companies presently licensed in Nevada to perform repossession services. Please remember the list may change periodically as companies obtain or surrender their license to perform such services. The license referred to in this memo isn’t a simple business license; it’s a specific license to perform repossession services in Nevada, as required by NRS 648.

a) There are two (2) basic, simple requirements: 1. Regardless of the reason they give for demanding entry, they must meet the same entry

requirements as established for the community. They must be on a resident’s profile. If they are not, they do not qualify for entry and are not eligible for a visitor’s pass. It’s also unlikely that a resident will put a repossession company on their guest list.

2. The only exception is if the person is either a law enforcement officer on official business or a

law enforcement officer on official business escorting a repossessor in to the property to seize property; similar to seizures done by U.S. Marshals.

There are other ways you can check if a person demanding entry at the gate is licensed to perform such services:

The person should be able to produce either a repossessor’s license per NRS 648 or the name of the

company for which he/she works that has a license. Regardless of whether the company or person is licensed, if the person/company doesn’t meet entry requirements in paragraph (a) or is not an on-duty law enforcement officer or escorted by one as shown in paragraph (b), deny entry in every case.

You may not always know if a license holder’s license is current or not, so it’s important to document as many details about the attempt to enter as possible. The OIC will notify the Account Manager who will make any additional notifications as deemed necessary by the Account Manager.

Once you deny entry, the person may attempt to stall you by quoting what sounds like “legal jargon”; after all, he/she gets no pay in most cases unless he/she brings back the vehicle in question. Don’t allow the person to remain in or around the gate area once you deny entry. If he/she threatens to call the local police, call their bluff and let them do so, but send them off property to do so. Be careful – repossessors may attempt to run the gate at the first opportunity. If it’s necessary, the OIC

Page 28: POST ORDERS SECTION A Access Control Procedures … · SECTION A Access Control Procedures Page Number A ... 10 Media Contact 32 D ... Residents also sometimes attempt to have their

27

will trespass them. Since most NRS 648 licenses can easily lose their license for unprofessional conduct or behavior, reputable companies and their agents will follow your directions. For those who refuse to follow your direction or run the gate, follow post orders, obtain as much information as you can and complete an incident report.

Except for the legal exemption shown above, no instance of commercial repossession of a vehicle takes precedence over your duty to enforce NRS 116 as outlined in your post orders. You are not even required to know if NRS 116 governs your community. Simply follow your post orders. If you are still not sure about what to do, call ISSI Operations or the ISSI Command Center.

A company representative must have a valid Clark County work (Sheriff’s) card in his/her possession. A person who claims to be the license holder and is proven to be so doesn’t need a separate work card. As mentioned above, possession of a license or work card doesn’t grant any entry rights, it merely provides a crosscheck capability for you.

Nothing in this attachment means that you should become involved in a physical confrontation or try to prevent a vehicle from being removed. Depending on the situation – observe, report and trespass as needed.

SECTION D-7 COMPLAINTS OBJECTIVE: To assure the OIC and Security Posts have written guidelines and procedures regarding any complaint relating to the service of work people. BE AWARE OF: Always, even in the face of criticism, be professional and courteous when someone confronts you with a complaint. NEVER APPEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SOMEONE COMPLAINING. PROCEDURES:

a) Refer all complaints regarding the property’s Rules and Regulations, conditions at the property or anything having to do with the property to Property Management by handing the person a business card from the Property Management Company.

b) Refer all complaints regarding security procedures, security personal or security activity to the ISSI

OIC. An OIC is always on duty, ask if the person would like to speak with the OIC. If not, or the person would rather file a complaint with ISSI Management, hand them a card of the ISSI Director of Operations or inform them to call the 24 hour ISSI command center- 702-866-2751.

SECTION D-8 MOTORIZED VEHICLES, SCOOTERS, MOPEDS, CARTS, ETC. OBJECTIVE: To assure the OIC and Security Posts have written guidelines and procedures regarding the operation of motorized vehicles, such as scooters, mopeds, golf-carts, go-karts, etc. BE AWARE OF: Most times you will be dealing with children or teenagers. Be aware of the age of the people you are dealing with and be professional, polite and NOT OVER BEARING. RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING MOTORIZED VEHICLES:

a) Motorized scooters, mopeds, golf-carts, go-karts, powered skateboards or any and all electric or gasoline operated devices used for the purpose of transportation may only be operated on property by individuals possessing a valid Nevada Drivers/Operators License.

b) If you are in doubt as to the probability of an individual operating any of the above mentioned vehicles

or devices, either possessing or having the ability to possess a valid Nevada Drivers/Operators License:

Stop the person and ask to see their license. COMMON SENSE must be employed in this situation. If the person is definitely above the age of 16 and he/she states they have a valid license, but not on them, escort the individual to their residence to confirm.

If the person is definitely under the age of 16 and therefore can not posses a valid driver’s license, advise the person of the community’s rules and regulations and escort the individual to their residence to confirm and notify parents.

c) If the individual operating any of the above listed vehicles/devices definitely possesses a valid driver’s

license BUT is operating the vehicle/device unsafely, stop the individual and advise him/her of the situation and positively identify the individual for possible punitive action to be taken.

SECTION D-9 VACATION WATCH OBJECTIVE: To assure the OIC and Security Posts have written guidelines and procedures regarding residents going on vacation and wanting certain activity conducted regarding their residence and access to it. BE AWARE OF: Anytime a residence is temporarily vacant and unattended, the residence is obviously more vulnerable than when occupied and therefore, Security should pay more attention to that unattended residence, knowing there will be no one present at the residence for a period of time. VACATION WATCH PROCEDURES:

a) It is the responsibility of the resident to notify Security when they are going on vacation. IF THEY WANT SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO THEIR RESIDENCE OR SPECIAL ACCESS VARIANCES.

A resident may want extra OIC attention to be given to their residence while they are away. A resident may want someone to have access to their residence at varying times of the day or

night, for example, to check on a pet remaining at the residence. A resident may want total access to be given to any and all family members while they are on

vacation.

b) Therefore, suffice it to say that when a resident notifies Security that they are going on vacation, and the Vacation Watch Request is received by the OIC or Security Officer, the Vacation Watch Sheet will be filled out and maintained in the security post. Procedures listed on the Vacation Watch Sheet will be followed until notified by the resident that they have returned from vacation.

c) Regarding any access to, or activity at, a temporarily vacated residence, the OIC is to immediately notify

the supervisor of that activity.

31

SECTION D-10 MEDIA CONTACT OBJECTIVE: To assure the OIC and Security Posts have written guidelines and procedures regarding being contacted or asked questions by the media. BE AWARE OF: Media people just wanting to speak with you “off the record”. There is no such thing as “off the record” when dealing with the media. MEDIA CONTACT;

a) You ARE NOT an authorized information officer for The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio, Management Company or ISSI and WILL NOT make any statement to the media, or to those not connected to The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio, Management Company or ISSI, about people or events on the property, including unofficial, non-business related statements to law enforcement agencies. Refer such requests to The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio, Management Companies or ISSI Operations through the Command Center. Referring such requests doesn’t mean you should give out home phone numbers of The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio Board Members or others. Simply tell the person/agency requesting information to call the Management Company business office. You may give them the Management Company business office number shown in Attachment Seven. DO NOT, under any circumstances, allow media representatives to enter the community or take photographs, unless and until authorized by the appropriate Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio representative. However, your limit of enforcement is the property line. You may not attempt to prevent media activity outside on public property or from adjacent property. If media activity on public property causes problems with entry to or exit from the property, notify HPD, ISSI Command Center, and the Management Company.

b) During certain events, especially events requiring emergency response, the media may attempt to obtain

information about the event or about The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio. Since The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio is private property, deny media attempts to enter until an authorized Estate at Seven Hills/Presidio representative arrives and decides to release information. DO NOT allow the media to block the gate area, especially if they attempt to stop traffic to get statements. Direct them to wait outside on public property.

c) The media had a genuine need to gather and report the news, however, the may attempt to get

information from you that they couldn’t ordinarily get from an official Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio source. The media are experts at getting information and they’re very creative when it comes to asking questions designed to get what they want. However, the Management Companies and ISSI have a right to control the release of information for legal, safety and security reasons. To the maximum extent possible, your job is to protect that privacy and protect the interests of the communities and ISSI. Any unauthorized information released by you may damage the business reputation of The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio and possibly result in legal action or adverse publicity, which may also include disciplinary action against you as an employee, up to and including termination.

d) If The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio has no published or preferred media contact guide or media

relations representative, use the following examples as a guide when dealing with the media. No one can predict the events of a given situation; however, neutrality is the safest policy.

For example, during a major fire, it will be obvious to all who gather around the property, that a building is on fire. Use common sense. “No comment” is not the preferred answer because it may imply you’re hiding something, even if you are not. You’ll never be able to predict how your statements, or lack of them, will be interpreted, so

Page 33: POST ORDERS SECTION A Access Control Procedures … · SECTION A Access Control Procedures Page Number A ... 10 Media Contact 32 D ... Residents also sometimes attempt to have their

32

courtesy and good judgment are your best weapons. Never act rudely or in a manner that could be construed as inappropriate. You may be asked questions as shown below: TYPICAL QUESTION

YOUR ANSWER

“Who lives there?”

“Sir/Ma’am, if you will please wait outside the entrance to the property, a Management Company or Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio spokesperson may be available to answer questions as soon as the situation allows. I can’t answer your questions.”

“How many injuries or fatalities are there?”

Same as your first answer above. Even if you think you know the answer, releasing it may cause problems because it may be inaccurate or worse yet, release information about a victim.

“What was the cause of the fire?”

Same as your first answer above. Even if you think you know, you are not a fire investigator.

“Sources say it was a meth lab. How did they put the fire out?”

Same as your first answer above. This could be a tricky question and may be designed to get you to respond to the first part of the question by answering the second part. If you answer the first part, you could place The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio in a very tight legal corner. If you answer the second part without regard for the first part, the answer may still be taken as an admission of fact that the first part is true.

“What company do you work for?”

“Interstate Security Services, Inc.”

“What is your job here?”

“I’m a gate attendant/greeter.”

“Where can I get some pictures?”

Same as your first answer above.

“What phone number can I call to reach an official The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio spokesperson?”

Estates at Seven Hills: (702) 933-7764 Presidio: (702) 405-3300

a) Fire gates are operated by HFD only. If open, the OIC will temporarily secure the gate and notify 911 that a possible intrusion has occurred, then notify the Account Manager immediately.

HPD and the on duty OIC will then coordinate a community search for burglaries, vandalism and suspect search. An Incident Report will be made, the Account Manager will make any necessary emergency communication with the Board and Property Manager.

SIGNAGE:

a) The Board of Directors has amended the Rules and Regulations pertaining to signs as follows:

(See Master Association signage requirements.) SOLICITATION:

a) Solicitation or sales calls of any kind are not permitted within the community. Residents expect a certain level of privacy that should never be compromised due to laziness or deceit on the part of the officer. Always know who you are giving access to the community to.

b) Watch for magazine sales personnel on property. If a resident calls and reports sales solicitation activity to the security officer at the gate, he will ascertain as much information as possible (location and description), then notify the on duty OIC to investigate.

SECTION E-6 SAFETY OBJECTIVE: To provide standards for safety in the performance of your duties. BE AWARE OF: Working and performing your duties in a manner which places your own or other employees’ safety at risk. SAFETY: The Management Company, The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio and ISSI have safety procedures you MUST follow. If one of their safety procedures concerns exposure to any type of toxic or hazardous material, a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the specific material may be available for your review. The OIC and Account Manager is responsible to be aware of The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio safety procedures and the location of the MSDS information and to notify all other officers about the MSDS. There are currently no hazardous materials for which a MSDS is required. If published, familiarize yourself with all evacuation plans and escape routes as quickly as possible. Here are other general guidelines to follow:

a) Report unsafe acts or conditions to the ISSI Command Center and then to the Management Company in all instances.

b) Do not perform tasks that are not part of the specific duties in the Post Orders. Some examples of tasks

that may seems helpful but may be safety risks: climbing ladders, lifting/moving boxes/equipment, assisting The Estates at Seven Hills/Presidio residents or guests with their personal or business tasks, operating machinery, handling chemicals/powers/solvents, troubleshooting electrical or electronic devices, calling a bank to offer services such as a vacant home watch, etc.

c) Hold handrails, if available, when walking in elevated/uneven areas and avoid elevated/uneven areas

where no handrails or other safety devices exist.

d) Do not climb over materials blocking sidewalks and avoid wet or icy areas that may not be adequately lighted.

e) Avoid leaning against, holding onto, pushing or pulling any outside metal or hot objects during summer

months and apply the same principle when dealing with others. For example, should you have the need to place an intruder in a position of disadvantage until help arrives, NEVER place a suspect on the ground (sidewalk or asphalt) or against a vehicle. If necessary, place the suspect on a grassy area or under a covered entranceway. If it is necessary to place a suspect at a disadvantage inside the facility, NEVER place him/her in close proximity to electrical equipment or similar devices where the suspect could gain immediate access to, or be injured by, such equipment, or where they may interfere with you, equipment or operations.

f) Watch where you walk – trip/fall hazards may pop-up at any time. If you notice a hazard, notify the

Management Company IMMEDIATELY. If the trip/fall hazard is an immediate threat, such as an oily liquid, mark the area with anything, such as a traffic cone, as to alert to the hazard.

g) Use a flashlight in any area where lighting is not sufficient. If you don’t have a flashlight and entry to

the area is not necessary, don’t enter. The Security Vehicle is to ALWAYS have portable lighting material available.

h) Never tinker with installed equipment. Even low-voltage telephone circuit wiring can cause injuries or

equipment damage if mishandled.

i) Never attempt to fight a fire alone and never attempt to fight a fire without the correct extinguisher. For

example, dry chemical extinguishers will work on Class A, B or C fires (paper, rags, etc.) but will not be effective of Class D fires (burning metals such as magnesium). Fire extinguishers have been placed in the all gatehouses, familiarize yourself with its physical location upon arriving for your shift.

j) Leave a safe distance between you and intruders at all times. Use all available means to protect yourself

and others

k) When alone and investigating an unusual situation, notify the ISSI Command Center before you approach. Make sure you give your location if away from the gatehouse so others can find you if help is needed.

l) Never use defective equipment and never stand or sit on moving equipment

m) Never work while impaired. If you’re taking prescription medication that affects your performance, tell

ISSI Operations immediately. Obviously illegal substances and legal substances which affect your performance are never permitted.

n) Never physically intervene in an ongoing conflict or physically attempt to restrain someone unless

absolutely necessary to do so.

o) Never participate in “horseplay” or practical jokes.

p) Use chairs and other equipment properly. For example, sit in chairs properly with all legs on the floor. Do not lean back in a chair where your balance may be affected.

q) If injured on the job, no matter how minor you feel the injury might be, notify the ISSI Command

Center or ISSI Operations immediately. You must complete Workers’ Compensation forms within 24 hours of the injury.

r) Document safety concerns in your DAR or IR.
