In March CALSAGA recommended that you draft a letter for your officers to carry on their person while on duty. We are now issuing that recommendation again.
Depending on your area, it may be required by local law enforcement, other civilian authorities or potentially military personnel to justify employee movement; it may also provide some reassurance to your officers. The letter should include the following:
- Company Name
- Confirmation that the person in possession of the letter is a representative of the company and is providing essential physical security, safety and/or critical support services
- Contact information for the purpose of validating or confirming the services being provided and/or employment status
