LIMITED OFFICIAL USE ONLY <br /> LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE <br /> 1. Purpose of the ICAC Standards <br /> These Standards are established by OJJDP to guide administration and operation of ICAC <br /> and its Members when working on ICAC-related Investigations and matters. <br /> ICAC Members should make every reasonable effort to comply with these Standards. <br /> However, since many aspects of Investigations are dynamic and laws vary widely <br /> between jurisdictions—their genesis; methods for their evidentiary pursuit; and their <br /> application within court—it is difficult to anticipate every circumstance that might <br /> present itself. Thus, reasonable deviations from these Standards may occur depending <br /> upon various factors (e.g., emergency situations;timing constraints; accessibility <br /> constraints; resource constraints; technology constraints;perceived conflicts between the <br /> Standards and statutes, decisional law, and court orders; et cetera). <br /> Should questions regarding the interpretation of these Standards arise or conflicts occur <br /> between these Standards and agency policies or law,the subject Commander faced with <br /> the issue shall seek the guidance of an OJJDP Program Manager. However,nothing in <br /> these Standards is meant to interfere with a Commander's or Supervisor's lawful tactical <br /> decision-making. <br /> Commanders may supplement, but not contradict,these Standards in the written <br /> agreements they establish with their Affiliates to promote the effective operation of their <br /> Task Forces. <br /> ICAC Program Operational and Investigative Standards <br /> FOR ICAC PURPOSES ONLY <br /> Revised Update: October 16,2014 <br /> Page 5 of 17 <br />
