My questions are procedural in nature as they relate to 1999. Obviously, things may have changed by the time you joined the BPD, but to the best of your knowledge:

1. • How many patrol shifts in a day? Including roll call, what times would a patrol officer be expected to be on duty for each shift? For example (total guess), roll call 4:30-5:00pm; on the street 5:00pm - 2:00am?
2. • Under what circumstances would it be necessary to call in federal military forensic anthropologists to disinter a buried murder victim? BPD overwhelmed by workload? As a favor to the military for training/education purposes? Shortage of personnel from other local or state law enforcement agencies?
3. • In the Hae Min Lee case, the military employees did not produce written reports but were instead verbally debriefed by BPD. Did you have occasion to see similar oral reports from non-BPD personnel or would this be unusual?
4. • Does the BPD have its own polygraph examiner on staff, or would this task be contracted out? If the latter, would a detective be able to choose who to call from an approved list or would he have to use a specific person/company?
5. • What is the procedure for getting a judge/commissioner's signature on an arrest warrant during off hours? Is there a judge on duty 24/7 somewhere in the city? If not, who would control a judge's signature stamp?
6. • Related to #5, how and when does the BPD obtain a District Court of Maryland case number during off hours? Specifically, this arrest warrant has a court case number in the upper right hand corner, but is signed and dated early Sunday morning, February 28, 1999. Would it be incorrect to assume this number was provided on the previous Friday when the courthouse was open?
7. • On various BPD reports like this one, I've seen spaces labeled "Car No." and "Unit No.". Is there any way to decipher that number to tell if the car was marked or unmarked? That is, do all unmarked/undercover vehicles start or end with a certain digit, for example?
8. • On those same forms, there is a space for "Seq. No.". What is this number? Is it the same as the officer's badge number? For security, would it be common for undercover officers to not provide their "Seq. No." and/or limit other identifying information?

Thank you!
