Law Enforcement Coordination Overview

Division of Police

The Division of Police in collaboration with our LE partners have developed

plans to prevent and mitigate disruption by way of a balanced and
proportional response continuum, while at the same time protecting the
Constitutional Rights of all individuals who wish to have their voices heard.
All members of law enforcement are obligated to protect and uphold the
right of every person or group to lawfully assemble and demonstrate within
the guidelines set forth by The City and Public Safety Officials.

The Division of Police response to security irregularities that arise shall be

proactive, immediate, and within the guidelines set forth by state and
municipal law, the United States Constitution, Cleveland Police General
Police Orders, Cleveland Police Divisional Notices, and orders of superior
officers.

Law Enforcement Coordination Overview

Division of Police

Public Safety Director Michael McGrath will utilize a unified command

structure to manage the multiple law enforcement agencies and City of
Cleveland Divisions.
Approximately 500 local law enforcement officers and 2500-2700 out of
city/county/state law enforcement officers
Mounted Unit Officers

Bicycle Officers
Motorcycle Officers
Canine Teams

The Cleveland Division of Police will manage and track security operations
during the RNC operational periods using National Incident Management
System (NIMS) model. Use of NIMS allows for multiple agencies,
jurisdictions, and disciplines to work in concert through the use of common
terminology, common objectives, and unit of command. NIMS is the standard
platform that all federal, state and local agencies must adhere to for incident
management.

gathering in partnership with local law enforcement and play a key role in a
Crisis Management situation.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for

Consequence Management for all Federal agencies and has played a
significant role in the pre-event training of public safety employees of the
City of Cleveland and those officers from neighboring jurisdictions.
