Interim orders can be revoked by which of the following?

Interim orders can be revoked by which of the following?

• A. A permanent amendment to the Patrol Guide, another interim order, or finest message
• B. Only by the Chief of Department
• C. By a vote of the officers
• D. By a court order

Answer: (A)

Interim orders are temporary directives that bridge policy changes until the Patrol Guide is updated. They’re revoked only through formal channels that officially alter or cancel the interim guidance: a permanent amendment to the Patrol Guide, which updates the official rules and makes the interim order obsolete; another interim order, which can explicitly supersede or revoke the previous instruction; or a Finest Message, an official directive from the Commissioner that cancels or modifies the interim order for all commands. A court order isn’t the department’s method for revoking internal directives, and revocation isn’t done by a vote of officers or by the Chief of Department alone.
