will identify, establish and maintain contacts in permanently with the authorities
responsible for the objective; as also, with the responsible for the custody of the
same internal - if any - for the purposes of coordinating common tasks, correct
shortcomings or meet warrants on the service
. General behavior of the Custodian:
1) discipline
to) by the characteristics of the additional service of Gendarmerie, the staff should
possess a high sense of self-discipline, given the fact that most of the cases to fulfill
its mission, its service was carried out in isolation, being the natural element of
control over their activity the Supervisor (junior officer or Noncommissioned Officer
higher);
(b) As one would expect, in almost all cases, the supervisor may not witness all the
airhead, nor the specific events that would compel the intervention of each
custodian. Therefore, the driving of each gendarme requires a profound conviction,
which will be reflected in their discipline. It should be noted that the supervisor
account with disciplinary powers equivalent to those of Section Chief outstanding;
(c) The experience indicates that the most common offenses are those related to the
speed of the service such as "do not go to provide service without cause" and "get
away from the objective losing sight of the same". The imposition of these sanctions
has an impact on the rating in the annual item discipline, friendship, loyalty, support,
and timeliness.

"■ . 'lk )if d) also could be cited, such as lack, the presengar^ disheveled uniform or
with the incomplete, smokes? !!!or without taking the positions military regulations;
(
e) In case of recidivism, the accumulation of sanctions, is reason to be considered by
the ^board of qualifications.
2) Treatment with people
a) In general, the citizenship identifies national gendarmerie as a force for border,
ignoring many of the functions performed by the policeman or concludes by forging
alliances, due to the uniform, armed with other institutions;
(b) The Custodian should realize that he is the key element in ensuring that the
ordinary citizen is impressed through your journal and constant contact, it depends
on the image that the public will have the force of (
c) therefore, the services that are provided in the framework of / the additional
benefits, with specific characteristics, such as:
(1) act in an area unknown - not always in the border or in towns and cities in the
provinces.
(2) remain exposed daily to thousands of people.
(3) dealing with people of very different idiosyncrasies to the interior of the country,
and very varied social status; (
d) The success or failure you experience the service in compliance with the mission,
is based on two basic principles: Professional Efficiency and discipline. For this
reason, the discipline of the isolated man wakes up confidence and respect in the
population, motivating this cooperation and the recognition of the inhabitants
toward a strength not identified with vices or attitudes overbearing.
e) For example, the offender usually tries to justify by media kind or not, its lack or
deviant behavior; before this, the gendarme must prevent and correct, or in your
case, apply the rule with firmness and fairness. Also, in certain situations, you should
adapt the shape of the dialog to the secret
SECRET 7-22
degree of instruction of the person called upon to be corrected, always under the
slogan of the respect and the duty to fulfill responsibly with the service.
3) Procedures i It is recalled that the Gendarme, as a public servant and in its quality
of concurrent police, he is forced to act in any situation that requires your help as
Public Force, in virtue of which, the provision of a safe custody service -whateverdoes not absolve him of his duties imposed by law, requiring before these cases take
measures deemed necessary,
the custodian should bear in mind in their actions, know how to differentiate each
situation that is present in the objective and/or in their vicinity. (
a) The treatment with the offender
(1) must be impersonal: you should never make an infringement as an offense
against the person, their emotions should not influence their task.
(2) You must remember that no one likes to be corrected: who commits the
infringement, the problem originates, but the custodian in your professionalism
must remember that correct an action is a delicate matter and unpleasant for those
who receive.be, by what your presentation must be correct and devoid of
aggressiveness, "Disarming" the defensive reaction of the driver.
(3) forms of address: The custodian represents tma--d-ispo if cl on legal; the driver,
street vendor, cartoneros, etc, (offender) someone who has violated a provision;
therefore the dialog between both presents "tinge" of interrogation if we start from
the premise that interrogation means: "chat with a well-defined purpose", then the
custodian will have to observe a series of principles such as:
(a) To Greet kindly: It is important to break the barrier of mistrust and
SECRET
Q-O OR
SECRET
antagonism felt by the offender addressing with friendly tone of voice and enforced
without words, but with the it normally uses.
(B) Be respectful: If you remember that "know how to ask is to know sort", a right
attitude will engender a similar reaction, especially if in vicinity you will find other
people.
(C) to avoid shaming the offender: Not should shame the offender by his absence,
and if this is located next to his family (e.g. : in a vehicle) , and persists in its attitude
to remain in place, the sentinel would invite him to come closer or lower the vehicle
and continue the conversation outside of the presence of those.
V
(d) never discuss: the discussions are not effective, and are normally
contraiproducentes, given that, in accepting the same, the sentinel loses control of
the conversation (and thus the possibility of achieving a good result); enters at risk of
becoming unallocated, and in the obfuscation of the discussion does not measure
gestures or language (where unnecessarily hurt the feelings of the other)
aggravating the situation and/or generating rispideces unnecessary factors that the
custodian should always consider and should not be used by more than the other
person to do so, because in doing so lost the respect that his investiture of Official
Public demands.
(E) to avoid the abuse of trust: should not be confused with complimentary "calling"
always acting within the framework of the correction and the energy, characteristic
representing our strength. This should increase if the infringer is a lady.
(F) does not make unnecessary questions: the interview should be short and
preferably restricted to the
secret 9-22
SECRET
situation or illegal act provision is repressed, ending as soon as possible;
(b) approach to the most common specific cases
i (1) Performance in the event of a fire and/or landslides:
To warn or become aware of a fire in the objective or neighboring areas, the
custodian will notice immediately to the supervisor or nearest police authority.
There may be two types of situations, with whom shall proceed as follows:
(a) If a fire occurs within the o bj e c t.
. In hours of activity: v
will collaborate with internal security for the evacuation of people is as smooth and
as safely as possible.
In extreme cases act with courage and decision.
Without prejudice to the previous point, the main function will be to avoid victims in
panic, people without measure risk, run across arteries with the risk of being
overwhelmed by vehicles. Why will interrupt the transit of vehicles and pedestrians
and stirred the diversion, to facilitate the action of the police and firefighters.
Arrival the police commission will collaborate with this to avoid crowds of people,
before and during the action of the fire department. While it is true that a fire
situation is very difficult to manage, especially in establishments or enclosures of
large turnout of public, the custodian should act with aplomb and decision, given
that its right to proceed will help save lives.
SECRET

shall notify the novelty to the seat of the unit or agency that depends upon with the
utmost urgency, not well the circumstances permit.
. Outside of opening hours of activity:
Will give notice to the police authority and next to the unit or Agency depends on.
Verify if there are lives are in danger and will come to the rescue with decision and
arroj or.

during the action of the fire department.
(B) If a fire occurs in surrounding areas:
. Their performance will be adjusted to what is indicated in
3) (b) (1) (a) .
(2) proceedings before bomb threat:
One of the situations of greater risk to the objective consists of the bomb threat.
That is why no threat can be taken lightly or be despised, because that human lives
are the stakes.
We can distinguish between two basic situations; this is, on the one hand, the
anonymous telephone call alerting on the placement of an explosive device or
making the threat of its existence; and on the other hand, the discovery of a
suspicious package in the vicinity of the objective custody. Both cases while saved
similarity with their own unique characteristics.
(A) phone threat: it
shall consist of a so-called anonymous or identified with some illegal group to alert
on the placement of a
secret item 11-22
explosive or directly threatens ^snrrrre its immediate detonation.
This novelty will be therefore known primarily by staff of internal security!
Establishment or by administrative staff of the same, which will notice more or less
immediate staff. Faced with such a situation should take, and coordinate a variety of
measures in a time deadline for the purposes of avoiding panic and injury or
unnecessary accidents, namely:
immediately notify, by most appropriate means possible (radio telephone), to the
guard of the Unit, Organization or the Supervisor of that depends on, giving the
novelty and requesting support of specialized personnel.
In parallel, if : necessary for reasons of urgency, jurisdiction, etc, will give notice to
the police authority, Radio Command, firefighters, emergency medical services, etc,
requesting intervention. .
Establish a security perimeter fencing for the purposes of avoiding risk innocent
victims.
Divert and channel the transit, both to prevent the entry of vehicles and
unauthorized persons to the area of risk, such as to enable avenues for input and
output of emergency vehicles, to neutralize the possibility of accidents or any
collateral damage.
Cut off the supply of gas and electricity of the objective in order to reduce the effects
and damage caused by a possible detonation.
Ensure the presence of staff responsible for the establishment for the purpose of
providing advice on the building and facilities. On the other hand would be useful to
the specialist, count upon arrival with the person who received the phone call, which
may provide further details on the threat.

the tasks of rescue, of be affected people.
(B) Discovery of suspicious packages:
the attitude of the guardian alert will be on notice with respect to packages or
packages not usual in the vicinity of the goal, whose owner or holder cannot be
identified. Another case that could occur is the detection of an abnormal element
within the building itself. 0 The reception of encomiendas correspondences that by
their suspicious features.
In the latter case it should be noted that some features may be:
package or letter explosive
. Lack of sender.
. Errors in the dizeccion and/or in the name
of the recipient.
. Bulky Envelopes and spongy to the touch
but with hard edges.
. Greasy stains, etc

collateral damage.
. Evaluate the possibility of an evacuation,
taking into account the location of the suspicious package, adjusted accordingly to as
outlined in the previous case with respect to such action.
. Cut off the supply of gas and electricity
of the objective to reduce cough effects and damage caused by a possible
detonation.
In the event of the detonation of the artifact before the arrival of the qualified
personnel, shall safeguard the evidence, trying to prevent the entry of outsiders or
items that the alter.
In all cases of threats the staff would need to be aware of the seriousness of facts
like these, not neglecting their attention, nor minimizandolos. Remember that any

save lives.
