  Public safety officers Violations: disrespect, non-compliance/threatening behavior, assault etc.

  If you encounter a WLE public safety officer, whether in uniform or plain clothes, and regardless of whether they are on duty or off duty, you, as a WLE property owner, renter, or guest, are required to comply with their requests or orders, provided they have identified themselves and are acting in the performance of their duties.

  Any non-compliance, including but not limited to failing to provide identification when asked, not obeying commands, leaving a vehicle stop, eluding, etc., shall be grounds for a fine.

  A fine of $500.00 will be issued for the first offense. Fines will double for each subsequent incident involving the same offender.

  If at any scene or incident a public safety officer is threatened with physical harm, assaulted, spat at, or subjected to any overt act intended to cause harm or impede their duties, this shall also be grounds for a fine.

  A fine of $2,500.00 will be issued for the first offense in this category, with fines doubling for each subsequent incident involving the same offender.

  Public safety officers are to be respected. If an offender believes they were not treated professionally, they may file a written report with the Chief of Public Safety or the General Manager.
