What are Revision Orders?

• A. Temporary orders
• B. Permanent orders
• C. Training directives
• D. General guidance

Answer: (B)

Revision orders are formal updates to existing directives that codify changes to policy or procedure. They become part of the department’s standing rules and stay in effect until they’re amended or revoked, making the change a permanent part of how officers operate. They’re issued to reflect shifts due to new laws, court decisions, or operational needs, and include an effective date, a summary of changes, and distribution to all affected units. They differ from temporary orders (which are short-lived), training directives (which focus on teaching how to perform tasks), and general guidance (which offers non-binding direction).
