NOTE:             These policies or procedures are for internal use in the Weber County Sheriff’s Office only, and are not for public dissemination. They do not enlarge a member’s civil or criminal liability or responsibility in any way.  They should not be construed as the creation of a higher standard of safety or care in an evidentiary sense, with respect to third party claims.  Violations of these directives, if proven, can only form the basis for a complaint by this agency, and then only in a non-judicial administrative setting.
